Preliminary Plat: Skyline Pointe June 30, 2006 Revised August 4, 2006 Page 3 of 8 approximately 100 feet west of the west boundary of the property. Extension of the sanitary sewer to the boundary of the plat is eligible for funding through the sanitary trunk fund. The developer will be responsible for contributing the standard sewer and water trunk charges. Easements: All existing easements on the property (within Haubrich Addition) must be vacated prior to adoption of Final Plat. All common areas must be encumbered with drainage and utility easements. Landscaping: A combination of existing trees and new plantings are proposed to satisfy the planting requirements. New plantings will account for about 80,000 square feet of the required 151,406 square feet of canopy cover. The following comments are offered regarding the landscaping plan, dated June 23, 2006: • The square footage designated for individual species in the planting schedule is not accurate, but, due the combination of existing trees and new plantings will satisfy the planting requirements. The following table reflects the canopy allocations for the indicated species: • Additional evergreens need to be incorporated into the plan. At least 25% of the required landscaping must consist of evergreens. • At least one or two additional ornamental tree species need to be included in the plan for species diversity purposes. While the overall number of ornamental trees does not necessarily need to be increased, the number of ornamental species installed must increase. • While the tree save fencing is noted in the comments, it should be shown on the landscaping/preservation plan and must be in place prior to any construction activity on the site. • Planting depth shall be such that the root flare shall be at grade level. A revised Landscape Plan has been submitted and is being reviewed against the comments above.
