The following deficiencies must be corrected prior to 4 the Planning Department's approval for Occupancy Permits. � 1. Along the South property line, the pyramidalis trees were only permitted to be used if planted in clusters of 3 or more. A minimum of 6 more trees (9 total) are required to meet- the minimum requirement. � � 2. The required groundcover must be planted alonq the f �� entire southern property line. Currently, only about � one-half of the southern landscape strip has the required groundcover plantinqs. '"� � 3. Approximately 90� of the required shrubs planted for the entire site are dead and must be replaced. 'a.. �, Additionally, the required amount of shrubs (5 per 100 � � I square feet of landscaped area) has not been met anywhere on the site. � � � ' � 4 . Pyramidalis trees are not allowed to be used for the —' �— required trees along the north property line. Deciduous trees such as Acer palmatum or Acer circinatum were approved for use in these areas. The �� pyramidalis trees must either be replaced with ' appropriate trees (minimum 11/2" caliper) , or the i deciduous trees must be added in with the existing ! pyramidalis trees to correct this. � � 5. The required street tree (to be planted alon� the frontage) has not been planted. Again, pyramidulis is not an acceptable tree for this purpose. �,, The parking area has not been striped.
