Item I0
DISCUSSION:
The proposed lot is in a wooded area containing a number of large trees. The final plat shows
22 trees on the lot ranging in size from 6' caliper to 24' caliper. The applicant has submitted
a landscape plan which shows the apparent proposed removal of 14 trees, ranging in size from
6" caliper to 22" caliper. None are loch_ted where the proposed building is to go. Twelve are
located within the required 30' front yard and required 30' side yards. Three of the trees are
located where no paving is shown on the site plan. One 22'-caliper tree is located where
pavement is proposed, but where by the provision of a parking island, pavement would not be
needed. A total of 8 trees, locat_~_ within required yards, will he destroyed because of the
amount of proposed pavement. This loss will be an nggregate of 102 caliper-inches, permissible
if replaced by 34 trees each 3' in c~liper or by a smaller number of larger trees.
The circulation around the proposed building needs to be one-way, _bec~___use them is a drive-up
service window on the south side. If circulation is two-way, traffic at the service window will
be traveling on the left side of the driveway. The applicant has revised the site plan to show
one-way drives, however the driveway width is sliH 24'. This width i~ far greater than
neee~try to accommodate one lane of traffic and i~ likely to encourage conflicting traffic

spaces as suown on the *'te plan near the soutitemt corner of the property. The site plan
does not show the easement. In addition, the landscape and itri~afion plans arc not signed and
sealed, and there are a couple of minor irregularities or omissions on the site plan and landscape
plan submissions:
1. Parking spaces are 9' x 18", instead of the 180 s.f. required.
2. The 28 dwarf burford holly enumerated on the planting schedule at 3' spacing are
adequate to create 84 lineal feet of landscaping. The landscape plan shows 510 lineal
feet of burford holly. The schedule appears to be 142 plants short.
RECOMM~.NDATIONS:
Staff previously has reeommended approval of the final plat subject to certain conditions. The
only change in thc plat itself, is the addition of the hike-and-bike trail at the southeast corner.
