O Mr. Bob Landles City of Everett Planning Department -3- February 3, 1987 2. With regard to the remainder of the landscape planting which would be required by the city, we will anticipate preparing the final landscape plan in accordance with the following criteria: a. We will plant three types of evergreen trees, with a minimum height of 10 to 12 feet in and around the northwest corner of the property for a distance of 150 feet to the south along the westerly property line and approximately 100 feet to the east of the northwest property corner along the northerly property line. This will create a 100 percent visual break at the tree base, with trees planted 10 feet on center and jogged horizontally. This will further improve the visual effect of the landscaping from a buffer standpoint. b. We will also plant low-lying shrubs, such as photinia, etc., in these areas of native indigenous species. C. We will include plantings of ivy, salal, or other groundcover as well, and you will note that we will not propose lawn in these areas which would require on -going landscape maintenance. d. For the remainder of the landscape buffer located along Third Avenue, we would propose groupings of the same three- types of 10 to 12-foot evergreen trees with additional plantings of shrubs and low-lying groundcover as in Items "b" and "c" above. The intent would be to group the trees and vary their location, vertically and horizontally in order to make the landscape appear to be as interesting as possible. f^ e. A e —foot solid cedar fence will be constructed at the top of the landscape areas adjacent to the on -site driveways. A minimum of 13 feet of landscaping will be planted on the Third Avenue side of the fence. We look forward to working closely with you to ensure that the landscape plan design and construction proceeds in accordance with the above -referenced criteria. We understand fully that the city will have a number of assurances that the landscape is constructed in accordance with the above -referenced criteria by virtue of the fact that the building cannot be opened and occupied until the following three items have been fully satisfied. 1. The building permits must be applied for and received prior to the commencement of any construction on site. Clearly, the final design elements for the landscape plan will be approved through this process, and the homeowners will be asked to contribute input at this stage as well. �;CE'.VED I E3 31987 C1ry CLERK
