#2425 Rebers/Service 800 <br />January 8,1999 <br />Page 4 <br />on page 2 of that agreement. The City Attorney has not provided his final comments on this <br />document as of this writing (this is the same language submitted by applicant on December 14). <br />Landscape Plan <br />On December 14 Council requested that the landscape plan for the Service 800 project be compared <br />with the approved Otten Brothers landscape plan to ensure some degree of consistency along <br />Highway 12. The two plans are attached as Exhibit G. <br />The Otten Brothers plan incorporated 10 shade trees along its 500' of Highway 12 frontage, and 9 <br />shade trees along its 630' of Willow Drive frontage, an average of 1 tree per 60' of frontage. The <br />Otten plan also included a number of landscaping features within the interior of the site, as well as <br />a row of evergreens along Dickey Lake Drive for screening purposes. <br />The Service 800 plan calls for 2 shade trees and 3 spruce trees along its 145* of Highway 12 frontage, <br />an average of 1 tree per 29' of frontage. The plan also calls for an additional tree at the northeast <br />comer of the site, and landscape plantings along the south, east and north walls of the building. <br />Orono's Subdivision code, Section 11.60, allows the City to require that the developer plant one <br />shade tree per each 40' of frontage. The Service 800 plan more than meets the spacing requirement, <br />but substitutes black hills spmee species in place of shade trees. If Council woidd prefer ^de trees <br />rather than the three spmees, the developer will be happy to comply. Staff has no problem with the <br />landscape plan as presented. <br />B-4 Rezoning <br />Council has suggested that this property be rezoned to B-4 to refect the intended use of the site and <br />limit its potential for future retail uses. Ms. Mork Bredeson has indicated willingness to comply <br />wifii this suggestion. <br />MCWD Approval Expected January 14 <br />The applicant has submitted the stormwater management plan to the MCWD for review and <br />approval, and such approval is expected to occur on January 14.
