Item 08D Page 3 of 11 Landscaping Minimum Landscapinga s: Min Reauired Proposed PUD Deciduous shade tree 236 11 Coniferous tree 237 24 Shrub 1568 157 Ornamental tree 239 29 Additional shade trees may be considered along the south property line (SE area of property), if the overhead power line is buried. Staff recommends that this (more trees) be a judgement call made on-site during construction. During the Planning Commission's June 5` Work Session, and June 19th Meeting, the Dog Run was discussed. The Developer agreed that a 4' ornamental fence would be installed (chain-link shown on plans). The project will include two Stormwater infiltration basins, located in the southeast corner, and along Edgewood Dr, between the Dog Run and the private tot lot. The basins are designed to hold water during storm events, and should be dry otherwise. The basins will have a 3:1 slope. The bottom of the basins will be 8' below grade. The 3:1 slope is within an acceptable range, however, Staff is concerned about the appearance of the western basin, because of its close proximity to the sidewalk and tot lot. Staff recommends that additional landscaping be installed as a buffer, but that this be a judgement call made on-site during construction. Other Stormwater storage will occur in underground chambers below the parking lot. During the June 24th Public Hearing, a resident asked about pollinator friendly landscaping. The Developer stated they could add this. Staff recommends that pollinator friendly grass/flower seed be installed in the stromwater infiltration basins, and in the areas between the private sidewalk and the building (e.g. areas under the decks). Snow Storage There is no firm plan for on-site snow storage, without displacing parking stalls. The Developer has discussed hauling snow off-site, as necessary.
