Staff Report
Jeff Kent moved and Stewart Summers seconded to date uncertain. The Board had the following
recommendations:
• Corrected and additional dimension details are needed along entire building frontage, from the
building through the drive aisle;
• Provide full planting details for the landscaped areas along the street front, showing how the
existing plantings will integrate with the new plantings;
• The Landscape Plan shall be revised to propose an alternative tree species to Purple Leaf Plum
trees. Additionally, the Landscape Plan shall propose to replace all existing Purple Leaf Plum
trees within the parking lot and along the frontage, which are currently in poor health, with a more
appropriate species of tree; and
• The Landscape Plan shall be revised to propose some type of new landscaping to be planted in
the existing planter along the east property line, which currently has none.
