Re: Lanscaping Plan
John:
Your land use approval for the TimberTec site contains an approved landscape plan. The approved plan proposes a 3/4" PVC irrigation service w/check valve (refer to attached plan).
If you wish to change the landscape plan, you must meet the requirements of the landscape code as stated below.
17.80.080 Maintenance of Plant Materials
B. "All areas where new landscaping is being required shall be provided with irrigation systems or shall be within 75 feet of a hose spigot. Said irrigation systems shall be designed,
installed and operated to maintain the plant materials."
For your landscaping, you must either install a complete irrigation system, as stated on your approved plan, or you must submit a new landscape plan for approval, showing a hose spigot
within 75 feet of all landscaping. A garden hose from your building to the landscaped area does not meet this requirement, and is not acceptable.
