Revise the master sign program and the project plans to be consistent with one another. Landscaping 3. Revise the tree species indicated on Sheet L.1 to be taller, upright shaped trees more in scale with the proposed large buildings. Currently, the majority of trees shown are small patio type trees. All trees proposed in sidewalk areas should be planted at minimum size of 36-inch box or 4-ft box size to provide proper head clearance. a. Leyland Cypress is a very fast growing though short lived species in this region. Consider changing to a pine tree, such as Elderica Pine, or other longer lived coniferous evergreen species. b. Hornbeam are a low branched species, and siting this at a corner may result in improper head clearance. They also do not deal well with windy conditions. Consider a more wind tolerant species in this upwind corner of the site. c. New Zealand Christmas trees grow well, but slowly, in SSF. If used, the minimum planted size should be 36-inch box (10-12 ft in height at planting). Otherwise, consider a taller growing street tree species such as London Plane, Hackberry, Raywood Ash, or similar. d. The proposed parking lot tree, Water Gum, grows slowly and does not have a large canopy. Consider a broader canopy tree such as London Plane, Hackberry, Ash, Oak or similar. 4. Revise Sheet L.2 to include the tree species proposed for the roof top gardens. Include planter size to ensure the design of the architecture takes into account the necessary planter size and depth. 5. Revise Sheet A.12 – Sections to show the root zone for rooftop trees. The minimum soil depth should be 3 ft and the minimum planter size should be 8 ft by 8 ft. Indicate whether the rooftop planters will be sunken into the roofdeck or large planters on top of the roofdeck. 6. Review the landscaping plan and determine if the proposed trees in the bioswales have sufficient planting area and drainage. 7. Revise the elevations to display tree locations, sizes and species as indicated on the landscape plan. Re-submittal required.
