r t #05-3081 Stonebay Loftt February 10,2005 Pages Landscaping. Review of the landscape plan by staffindicates an acceptable level ofplanlings of trees and shrubs. In general, the 37,300 s.f building footprint requires 1 ovcrslory tree per 1,000 s.f. footprint, or 37 sueh trees. At least 30% of required overstory trees must be coniferous. Applicants propose 2 American linden, 6 ash, 4 maple, 7 quaking aspen, 12 white spruce and 6 Japanese larch, plus 10 ornamental trees (which count 2-1 toward the overstory requirement); doing the math, the total reaches 42. The 37,300 s. f. building would also require 124 shrubs as a minimum; this standard is more than met, with approximately 220 slmibs shown on the plan Tlicbcmibetwceti the condo building and the public works site will be heavily plantal with with a mix oftrees, primarily evergreens. The Landscape Plan, Sheet L2.1 , appears to show additional tree plantings that were to be part of the overall Stonebay project, both along Kelley Parkway and onthetopofthewestendbenn. Our assumption is that these berm plantings are still intended; this will have to be clarified, as the planting schedule does not include them. 8)Ligliting.

Prior to Council approval of tlie final development plan, applicant mu.st provide a lighting plan to confirm that all outdoor fixtures are shielded as required by code. 9) Signage.
