8 1 large shrub = 1.5 medium or 3 small shrubs 109,831 sq. ft. of open space calls for: 55 large trees 165 large shrubs Provided: 61 large trees or large tree equivalents 115 large shrubs or large shrub equivalents Existing trees are credited at the following rates: There are 23 large trees worth (14 actual trees) of existing tree credit for trees being saved in the northeast corner near the stormwater pond and in the southwest near the wetland. Trees that were noted in the Preservation Plan as being saved that did not receive existing tree credit include prohibited species (ash, Blue spruce, cottonwood) and two dead trees. The additional 38 large trees or large tree equivalents are in the common area, near the north stormwater pond, and on the west perimeter of the site. While 166 large shrub or large shrub equivalents were planted site-wide, they are not all applicable by placement. The 115 large shrubs or large shrub equivalents in the common area in the center of the building all count towards open space standards (sheet L2), as do the shrubs in the accent sign planting. The plants in foundation landscape zone and vehicular hardscape area do not count towards open space standards (sheet L3). The rest of the shrubs planted are in these two areas. Note that from the planting schedule, 14 plants were categorized as large shrubs, 176 as medium shrubs, and 105 as small shrubs. Swapping some of the smaller plants for larger varieties would save considerably on planting quantities. Open areas landscape standards have not been met. 50 additional shrubs will be needed in open space areas.
