Open space plantings are required for the main building, stormwater pond, and north and south green spaces. Per Sheet L2.1 and L2.3, Main Building, there is 45,374 square feet of open space.

The Clubhouse, per sheet L2.5, has 11,525 square feet of open space. This would require 6 large trees and 17 large shrubs. The plan proposes 16 large tree equivalents and 34 large shrub equivalents.
