Use City of Yelm Street Tree Detail 4-19.
Describe how disturbed slopes in tract A will be revegetated.
Street trees cannot be located on property corners, that is where utility services are located.
It appears that with the size of lots, more street trees can be planted.
The City has determined that a picnic table and bbq pit alone does not truly meet the intent of the open space
requirements. Additional improvements to include a mix of elements typically found in an improved park area
such as play equipment, athletic courts, and picnic facilities are required. Additional landscape features (other
than just hydroseed) should be incorporated into the park areas as well.
Tract C is held for future development. If area is disturbed during construction, the tract should be revegetated.
Please list tree species in legend. Changes can be made to the approved plan at a later date if needed.
Is there to be a fence around the stormpond area? If so, it shall be vinyl coated chain link.
The trees located on the south property line, as mitigation for tree removal on site, shall be a mix of evergreen
and deciduous, with a three to one mix, predominately evergreen.
