This should be a formal landscape design • It is requested that additional screening be considered on the Northern part of the development between the development and the existing residential area. Screening is also necessary between the commercial area and the residential area of the development. • A conservation easement should be written for all greenway and wetland areas. Lots on the West side should have this easement in sufficient width to buffer the wetland. • Signs should be placed at all conservation easement/wetland area edges. There should be 1 sign per lot where abutment occurs. • A contract should be acquired with an ecologist, Landscape Company specializing in the establishment and maintenance of native plant establishment. This contract should be approved by the City and extend for at least 3 years to include 1 burn at the end of the contract. • An informational sheet should be distributed to property buyers describing environmental considerations and buffer /conservation areas. • It is suggested that since there will be a homeowners association, there should be some annual dollars allocated to maintain native plant areas, and formal water garden areas. • The Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) should show all required 50 foot entrances. The SWPPP should reiterate seed areas, type of seed and timing issues. A designated place on the site must be indicated where the SWPPP and site inspection sheets will be available for inspection. The SWPPP must show an approved storm water catch basin protection device such as InfraSafe. • The developer would be responsible for escrowing dollars for one city boulevard tree per frontage of each house. • The commercial areas must follow the City lighting Ordinance. • •
