MARKARIAN Molly From: Sent: To: Subject: MARKARIAN Molly Tuesday, November 24,20099:34 AM 'Anne Delaney' RE: landscaping Changes HiAnn, Jim Donovan has approved your proposed modification to the planting plan as described below. I will make the changes by hand on the Final Site Plan and he will initial those changes on the Final Site Plan. Please review the language below to make sure it accurately conveys what will be planted for anyone who refers to the Final Site Plan (by the way, I think it is the north side as opposed to the south side, right?). Thanks. On Sheet LA-3, I will note next to the 'Plant Schedule' that: 'Applicant will plant a single row of 24"-tall shrubs directly against the wall of the trash enclosure and against the building wall on the north side of the northern-most apartment building between the parking and living areas. All other shrub locations will be planted with five-gallon Shrubs.' Molly Markarian Planner II City of Springfield - Development Services Department 541.726.4611 mmarkarian@.ci.sprinQfield.or.us From: Anne Delaney [mailto:delaney@bdarch.net] Sent: Monday, November 23, 2009 12: 15 PM To: MARKARIAN Molly Cc: Nicole Ankeney; Anne Delaney Subject: Molly- Per our conversation last week about the shrub heights...... I met with our landscape architect and their understanding is that per the code all shrubbery is required to be 24" in height at time of planting - not just the screening between the parking and the living area windows and the trash enclosure. (See SDC 3.2-240 D 6a). One option for us to reduce cost is to replace more of our shrubbery with ground cover..... not an option we want to pursue. We'd like to propose a single row of 24 tall shrubs directly against the wall of the trash enclosure and building wall on the south side bit parkin9' and livin9 areas with the rest being typical 5 gallon size. If this is acceptable, will modify our bid/permit documents via supplemental information package. Would you need revised SR landscape plan as well?
