Re: Landscape Plan for Golden Dragon
Thank you for submitting your landscape plan for the Golden Dragon Restaurant. It is going to be a beautiful site when complete. I have just a couple of comments to add to this plan,
and would like to explain a situation that has arisen regarding this site.
First, there are just a couple minor changes or additions. Please extend your landscaping around the outside of the refuse enclosure, and add a tree in the planter island located adjacent
to the building. As I was reviewing our street tree list, I found that the Killion Road improvement falls into a special management area in our street tree list, and calls out either
Prince Sentry Hawthorn, or Kousa Dogwood as an approved street tree. I apologize that I didn’t catch this in our earlier discussions.
Since the time of our previous meetings, it has come to light that the Killion Road Extension may occur sooner rather than later. In this regard, the radius at the corner of your property
may change slightly. To prevent you from installing sidewalk and landscaping improvements that may need to be changed, we would like to defer these improvements until such time as the
extension is completed. When we have definite construction plans for the intersection improvements, we can revisit the corner enhancement landscaping that would be required.
So at this time, I consider your landscape plan approved as amended, and you may continue with your civil plan changes. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me
a call at (360) 458-8496.
