The Board had the following comments:
Miscellaneous
1. Revise the CVS building architecture to be in keeping with Alternative 2 that was
presented at the Design Review Board meeting.
2. 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.
