25 The trees along Hodgson Road have been relocated out of the road right-of-way and within 30 ft of the building. Open Areas Landscape Standards Open areas include disturbed site areas, such as cul de sac islands, boulevard medians, storm water management areas, common areas in multifamily sites that are not for recreation facilities, and disturbed areas that are not located within the foundation landscape zone, vehicular hardscape area or the building footprint. Open Space landscaping standards require 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs per 2,000 square ft. Open space plantings are required for the main building, stormwater ponds, and north and south green spaces. Per Sheet L2.1 and L2.3 L2.2, Main Building, there is 45,374 45,063 square ft of open space. This would require 23 large trees and 69 large shrubs. The plan proposes 36 large tree equivalents and 155 large shrub equivalents. Open space requirements are met and exceeded. The Clubhouse, per sheet L2.5, has 11,525 square ft 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. Open space requirements are met and exceeded. The North East and North West Green Spaces, found on Sheet L2.6, hosts 19,895 23,000 square ft and 54,073 square ft, respectively. The North East Greenspace requires 10 12 large trees and 30 36 large shrubs to meet the open space landscaping standards. The North West Greenspace requires 27 large trees and 80 large shrubs. The landscaping plan provides 18 12 large tree equivalents and 87 48 large shrubs equivalents for the North East Green space and 27 large tree equivalents and 80 large shrubs equivalents for the North West Green Space, which meets the open space requirements. Per Sheet L2.7, there is 51,926 84,699 square ft of open space in the South West Greenspace. This would require 26 43 large trees and 78 127 large shrubs. The plan proposes 205 202 large tree equivalents and 101 230 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 ft.
