7 <br /> <br />The purpose of this requirement is to separate and buffer different land use types, screen <br />roads and parking, and screen utility and loading areas. Continuous, year-round planting <br />screens require, at the minimum, a double row of plants with triangulated spacing. <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 />Buffer and Screen Standards have been met. <br /> <br /> <br />Canopy Cover <br /> <br />Canopy cover standards call for a minimum of 40% canopy coverage. Canopy coverage <br />values are calculated per tree based on the anticipated size 15 years after planting, and the <br />distance to hardscape edge from the planting location. <br /> <br />Vehicular hardscape planned: 23,000 sq. ft. <br />Canopy cover requirement: 9,200 sq. ft. <br />Canopy cover provided: 9,350 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 />4 trees have been moved from the west parking lot perimeter to the south infiltration <br />basin as requested. <br /> <br />The tree in the north island on the west parking lot perimeter should be moved to the west <br />side of the access drive at the south of the site to avoid conflicts with light pole and fire <br />hydrant. <br /> <br />Canopy cover standards have been met. <br /> <br />Foundation Landscaping <br />
