20130320 Landscaping Cmts 2 03142013 Tami Merriman To: Karen Bennett Subject: River Run Landscape Comments 3/13/14 Landscape review comments: 1.14 acres requires 4,966 square feet of qualified open space. The landscape plan shows approximately 3500 square feet. Show total amount of open space and its improvements. Qualified open space requires recreation and park uses. There may be issues with ADA compliance and access around step tanks with play area in the same location as the step tanks. Chapter 14.12 states areas including above ground utilities are declared to be unsuitable. Please show how STEP tanks and their associated service boxes and electrical requirements do not interfere with the open space. Refuse detail is missing, please see attached with landscape requirements around refuse enclosure. Mailboxes are missing. Plan should �;�tail plant/container sizes and number of plants Trees along southwest property line appear to be placed over a gas line. Please check what can be planted within the PSE easement. The river rock must be "river rock" not just gravel. The plan proposes large areas of just rock, please augment the area with some ornamental grasses and/or additional holly or viburnum.
