9 <br /> <br />shrubs on the west building face, along with the continuous buffer and screen plantings on the <br />north and east perimeters will suffice in softening the building appearance and meeting the <br />intent of the foundation planting standards for these building faces. <br /> <br />The foundation landscape standards have been met. <br /> <br />Sod and Ground Cover Standards <br /> <br />All areas not otherwise improved in accordance with the approved site plans shall have a <br />minimum depth of 4 inches of topsoil and be sodded including boulevard areas. Seed may be <br />provided in lieu of sod in certain cases, including when the area is adjacent to natural areas or <br />wetlands. <br /> <br />Area around the storm water pond from normal water level to high water level will be seeded <br />with MnDOT 33-261, Stormwater South and West, which is a native mix of grasses, forbs, <br />sedges, and rushes for stormwater pond edges. Above high water level in the storm water pond <br />area calls for 35-621 Dry Prairie Southeast. <br /> <br />The area north of Lot 1 will also have MnDot 35-621 to create a buffer strip for Wetland A <br />near the impacted portion of the wetland. <br /> <br />The remainder of the site will be seeded with MnDot 25-141 Mesic Roadside General or <br />sodded. The Seeding Plan indicates this mix covering areas of the site that call for sod on the <br />Landscape Plan.
