20 Per Sheet L2.7, there is 51,926 square feet of open space in the South West Greenspace. This would require 26 large trees and 78 large shrubs. The plan proposes 205 large tree equivalents and 101 large shrub equivalents. Open space requirements are met; however the plan sheet notes 28 trees and 84 shrubs are required. This shall be corrected. In addition to meeting the open space requirements, the developer is including three extensively landscaped courtyard areas around the senior housing building for the enjoyment of the residents. Buffer and Screen Standards Buffer and Screen Standards require a 6 foot high screen between a development and any adjacent, less intense, residential land use. Materials to meet this ordinance can include year round continuous planting screen, a wall or fence and plantings which cover 50% of a wall or fence on the exterior side, or a combination of berm and year round continuous screening. A 50 foot wide buffer of existing trees along the west lot line abutting Woodridge Estates will be preserved. A screen of lilac bushes will be planted at the northwest corner of the site adjacent to the stormwater pond. Additional landscape screening shall be planted in the area adjacent to 253 and 255 Woodridge Lane to provide more screening from the road and parking lots. The public road right-of-way near CR J has shifted to the east approximately 10-40 feet. This will allow for additional landscape buffer and allow the existing spruce tree line adjacent to 275 Ash Street to be preserved. Along the north property line adjacent to the Rohavic Oaks neighborhood, the cottage homes will be setback a minimum of 30 feet and a 6 foot high wood privacy fence will be located along the north lot line. A 40 foot wide buffer with a 3 foot berm and landscape plantings is also provided in the cottage home neighborhood adjacent to CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road). The plan has been revised to include a year round continuous screen on top of the berm. A 30 inch shrub hedge is proposed between the senior living campus parking lot and public road right-of-way as is required by ordinance. A 3 foot berm is located on the north side of the northeast private cottage home parking area. Coniferous trees and shrubs are planted along the top of the berm. Boulevard Trees Boulevard trees are required at the rate of one (1) tree per 70 linear feet of road frontage where property fronts on any public roads for townhome or multiple family homes. There are 20 cottage homes abutting 700 linear feet. This would require 10 boulevard trees. The cottage home private road has 33 boulevard trees which exceed ordinance requirements. There is 2,080 linear feet of public road (Street A) that abuts the senior living campus and future restaurant and commercial. This would require 30 boulevard trees. There are 33 boulevard trees proposed which exceeds ordinance requirements. There is 789 linear feet of private road (Street B) that would require 11 boulevard trees. There are 13 boulevard trees proposed which exceeds
