• Site Reviews -

1. Planning Action 2002-052 (Alan Pardee) - Please submit written arborist report of all trees to be removed based on the final plan approved by the Planning Commission. Consider mitigating poplars along the drive with larger caliper (3 - 4 inch) trees. This Commission acknowledges the potential long-term hazard of poplars along the driveway and understands those trees may be removed per arborist recommendations. All tree removal within the riparian zone will follow required standards.
2. Planning Action 2002-020 (Andrews & Reeves) - Please clarify flow patterns for bioswales and stormdrains. We're concerned that bioswales are not large enough to handle peak flows. How will bioswale on NE corner affect adjacent properties? What is projected runoff/retention?
3. Planning Action 2000-120 (Steve Hoxmeier) - Norway Maples on the street ad adjacent to asphalt and structures need much more room. These trees should be replaced with something from the Recommended Street Tree List with an upright nature and appropriate to the size of the planting area. Use structural soil in the plaza area. Please clarify placement of trees along the parking bay. We do not support waiving street tree requirements for this project. Use larger stature trees along this street frontage - minimum two inch with consideration for young trees. Consider impact of awnings, overhangs and entry ways to provide public easement in the placement of the street trees. Review street-side and parking lot space count to determine if there is the potential to gain additional street frontage space for tree planting. The three 'existing trees to remain' are in precarious locations - adjacent to existing &/or proposed hardscape and could be severely impacted by construction. Considering the nature & health of these trees, it might be well advised to remove and replace. Be sure to follow Minimum Standards for Landscape & Irrigation for final plan submittal.
