However, perennials are not a substitute for shrubs. As a condition in the Resolution, the landscape plan is to be amended, and reviewed administratively by Staff A 10' landscaped buffer is required at the boundary of a residential district (e.g. along Bronson Dr., across from the church). The proposed parking lot will be set back 10' from Bronson Dr. The setback will have sod and rock, with ornamental and overstory trees. In appearance, this requirement would normally look like 10' -15' of sod (within right-of-way), plus 10' of landscaped buffer. In this case, the edge of the right of way (property line) is also the edge of the street, meaning less greenspace along Bronson Dr. ' City Code, Section 1121.13 (Schedule of Off -Street Parking Requirements; Car wash); "Automatic drive through, serviced: A minimum of ten (10) spaces, or one (1) space for each employee on the maximum shift, whichever is greater." The planned maximum shift = 3 employees. s City Code, Section 1129.05, Subd 4 (County Road 10 Corridor Overlay District; Off -Street Parking); "Off -Street Parking: The City will use the off-street parking requirements in Chapter 1121.13 as a guideline, and base the final determination of required spaces on the specific project and land usage." 9 City Code, Section 1127.05, Subd 3 (Number of plant materials required) 10 City Code, Section 1129.05, Subd 5(b) (County Road 10 Corridor Overlay District; Landscaping); "A minimum of fifteen (15) percent of the total area of each lot shall be devoted to landscaped open space." 37.7% is proposed. 11 NOTE: proposed trees (1.5" dia) are not large enough. 12 NOTE: City Code, Section 1121.09, Subd 12 (Required Screening), requires screening if 5+ parking spaces, and adjacent to residential districts (e.g. north side of Bronson Dr). In staff's opinion, this is not necessary, because adjacent residential use is wooded area. 13 City Code, Section 1127.05, Subd 3(b); "One (1) coniferous tree for every two thousand (2,000) square feet of building or one (1) coniferous tree for every two hundred (200) feet of site perimeter, whichever is greater." e.g.4,482 sq ft / 2,000 sq ft = 2 trees, or 897 site perimeter / 200' = 4 trees. 14 City Code, Section 1127.05, Subd 3(c); "One (1) understory shrub for every three hundred (300) square feet of building or one (1) shrub for every thirty feet (30') of site perimeter, whichever is greater." e.g. 4,482 / 300 = 15, or 897 / 30' = 30 shrubs. 15 City Code, Section 1114.04, Subd 2(a) (Car Washes)
