9 <br />Open Areas Landscape Standards have been met. <br /> <br />Buffer and Screen Standards <br /> <br />The buffer and screen standards call for a 30-inch double triangulated row of plants for <br />the north parking lot perimeter. <br /> <br />There are 46 large shrubs planned for the north parking lot perimeter. These shrubs are <br />in a single row. A double triangulated row is needed to meet the requirement. It appears <br />that the requirement could be met by adjusting the placement of these 46 shrubs without <br />adding additional plants. <br /> <br />Buffer and Screen Standards have not been met. <br /> <br />Canopy Cover <br /> <br />Vehicular hardscape planned: 23,000 sq. ft. <br />Canopy cover requirement: 9,200 sq. ft. <br />Canopy cover provided: 9,450 sq. ft. <br /> <br />Canopy cover requirements have been met. <br /> <br />The Preliminary Plat for Milestones Addition shows a future parking lot west of the <br />proposed daycare facility. This would impact the placement of 4 trees currently <br />providing canopy cover. To account for future development of Outlot A in Milestones <br />Addition, it is recommended that these 4 trees be moved to areas that will not be <br />impacted by future construction. The entrance road and south infiltration basin seem to <br />have ample space to accommodate these 4 trees. <br /> <br />Foundation Landscaping <br /> <br />Staff estimated 340 linear feet of foundation that the standard will apply to. <br /> <br /> Large Trees Large Shrubs (or equivalents) <br />Required 7 20 <br />Provided 14 46 <br /> <br />The foundation landscape requirements 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 <br />may be provided in lieu of sod in certain cases, including when the area is adjacent to <br />natural areas or wetlands. <br />
