5901 HIGHWAY PL WHOLE SITE 2019-06-04

Garage As conditioned in the multi-family modification decision (REVII15-009) on this project,the building plans need to demonstrate how the garages will have sufficient size for parking of two cars. Please show footprints of reasonably sized cars and how there will not be conflicts with doors and other improvements,as well as adequate room for moving between the cars, laundry facilities to the entry to the residence. Landscaping Trees Leyland Cypress is not a good choice for this site as they are known to grow very fast,tall and wide,and have a relatively short life span. Please revise to an alternative species. Groundcover The landscape plans state that bark will be used as ground cover in certain area. Please note that the landscaping standards require live vegetation cover over 90%,to be achieved within three years of planting. Please revise the landscape plan as necessary to demonstrate how this standard will be met. Notably: • In the recreation area it is noted that grass or woodchips will be used. Eliminate the reference to woodchips. • Eliminate the note in the legend that states areas not marked will be barked. • Identify live landscape materials to be used instead of bark and chips. • Clarify that all areas will be landscaped. As drawn, large areas along the south property line are shown with no landscaping. • Clarify the meaning of the letters"F"and"LS"which are shown the area in the front of the building. Irrigation An irrigation system is required. Show on the landscape plans the method of irrigation to be used, including schematic design, backflow prevention,and service locations. Site Improvements Dumpster Enclosure Provide location and details for garbage and recycling enclosure(s). Walkway Material The site plan approval stated that the four foot walk way shall consist of a material different than the driveway material such as stamped concrete. Revise the plan to show how this will be accomplished. (9/3
