| | |
| | 1. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (D)(2)(A), AT LEAST ONE |
| | SHADE OF FLOWERING TREE FOR EACH DWELLING UNIT FOR |
| | MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES WITH SIX OR MORE |
| | UNITS PER STRUCTURE SHALL BE PLANTED ON THE EXTERIOR OF |
| | ALL STRUCTURES. PLEASE PROVIDE THE CALCULATIONS THAT |
| | DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THIS REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 2. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443(C)(3)(A), EACH ROW OF |
| | PARKING SPACES SHALL BE TERMINATED BY LANDSCAPE ISLANDS |
| | OF NOT LESS THAN FIVE FEET IN WIDTH AND NOT LESS THAN |
| | THE LENGTH OF THE ADJACENT PARKING STALL. THE |
| | LANDSCAPED ISLAND SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR |
| | FLOWERING TREE. THE PARKING ROW LOCATED AT THE |
| | NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY THAT IS PARTIALLY |
| | OFF-SITE DOES NOT MEET THIS REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 3. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-485 (E), PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF |
| | A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY, ALL PARKING AND LOADING |
| | SPACES, ACCESS DRIVES, AND MANEUVERING LANES SHALL BE |
| | PAVED WITH A NONDUSTING SURFACE IN COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | STANDARDS SPECIFIED BY THE CITY. THE PLANNING DIRECTOR, |
| | IN COORDINATION WITH THE CITY'S ENGINEERS, MAY APPROVE |
| | TYPES OF PAVING NOT SPECIFIED UPON A FINDING THAT SUCH |
| | OTHER TYPES ARE EQUIVALENT IN APPEARANCE AND |
| | DURABILITY. GRASS PARKING HAS BEEN PROPOSED IN THE AREA |
| | OF THE SITE MENTIONED IN THE ITEM ABOVE. PLEASE SHOW |
| | THE LIMITS OF THE PROPOSED GRASS BLOCK. GRASS BLOCK IS |
| | TYPICALLY NOT APPROVED IN PARKING LOTS THAT ARE |
| | OCCUPIED MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE PER WEEK SUCH AS |
| | CHURCH OVERFLOW PARKING. |
| | |
| | 4. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-442 (D), PRIVATE LAND AND |
| | PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY BETWEEN STREET OR SIDEWALK |
| | SURFACES AND REQUIRED BUFFER STRIPS AND LANDSCAPE OPEN |
| | SPACE AREAS SHALL BE PLANTED WITH GRASS. GRASS AREAS |
| | SHALL BE SODDED. THIS INCLUDES ALL RIGHTS-OF-WAY. |
| | |
| | 5. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-445 (4)(G)(3), AUTOMATIC |
| | IRRIGATION SYSTEMS SHALL BE USED FOR THE CULTIVATED |
| | LANDSCAPE AREAS FOR ALL PROPERTIES. THIS INCLUDES THE |
| | ADJACENT RIGHTS-OF-WAY. |
| | |
| | 6. SITE LIGHTING SHALL BE SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN |
| | TO AVOID ANY CONFLICTS WITH PROPOSED TREES. |
| | |
| | 7. THE COMBINATION OF CURBING AND CAR-STOPS HAS BEEN |
| | PROPOSED IN THE WEST PARKING LOT. IN ORDER TO SAVE |
| | MONEY AND INCREASE THE LANDSCAPE AREA, THE CURBING |
| | SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN PLACE OF THE CAR STOPS. THE TWO |
| | FOOT AREA BEYOND THE CURBING CAN BE CONVERTED INTO |
| | GREEN SPACE. BECAUSE THIS IS A VEHICLE OVERHANG AREA, |
| | NO SHRUBS, TREES OR TALL GROUND COVER CAN BE PLANTED |
| | WITHIN THIS TWO FOOT STRIP, BUT THE ADDED GREEN SPACE |
| | WILL ALLOW THE TREES TO HAVE A LARGER AREA IN WHICH TO |
| | SPREAD THEIR ROOTS. |
| | |
