| | PORTION OF THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE. ALL OTHER TREES IN |
| | THE BUFFERS SHOULD INCLUDE SHADE TREES TO PROVIDE SHADE |
| | AND ALLOW VIEWING OF SIGNAGE AND THE SITE BENEATH THE |
| | MATURE CANOPIES. THE SMALL TREE SPECIES PROPOSED DO NOT |
| | PROVIDE SHADE FOR THE PAVED AREAS INCLUDING THE BIKE |
| | TRAIL AND WILL BLOCK THE VIEW OF SIGNAGE FROM THE |
| | STREET AND WILL LEAD TO TRIMMING THE TREES IN AN |
| | IMPROPER MANNER. |
| | 16. CORRECT THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE AREA IN THE DATA |
| | CHART TO 15% AND SHOW THE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND PERCENTAGE |
| | PROVIDED. |
| | CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL |
