R/verside Manufacturing-Site Plan Review March 28, 2006 Revised April 21, 2006 Page 3 of 4 evergreens and shrubs. While the overall number of trees exceeds the minimum required, at least one additional ever~een species, such as balsam fir or wkite spruce, should be added to the planting schedule to reduce the number of green spruces installed. Additionally, Staffwould like to see at least a couple additional shrub species included in the planting schedule.

Easements: According to the legal description, the lot to be developed has a 33 foot private road easement across the northern boundary of the site.

The legal description for the property will be rewritten to reflect the new easement. Please show this proposed 20 foot easement across the north boundary of the property..
