L7 B4 WR Landscape ModMemorandum Date: April 1, 1997 To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Karen Griffith, Town Planner Re: Lot 7, Block 4, Wildridge Landscape Modification The modified landscape plan for the VulpeNandervelde Duplex was approved in at the April 1, 1997 meeting with the conditions that additional deciduous bushes be added and that the trees meet the minimum town policy of a six foot planting height. The applicants would like the Commission to reconsider the plan with 3 four foot Pinyon Pines and 2 four foot Rocky Mountain Junipers, as well as 4 Junipers as five gallon shrubs. The applicants have revised the plans to indicate a number of deciduous shrubs including Woods Rose, Sumac, Mountain Sage, and Service Berry. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that: 1. the four of the Rocky Mountain Junipers be allowed as proposed as 5 gallon shrubs 2. That the minimum planting height of six feet be maintained for the Pinyons and all other Junipers. Staff appreciates the applicant's intent to provide a native type of landscape plan. However, staff believes it is important for the Town to be consistent in the application of the Planning and Zoning Commission's policy of minimum planting heights of 6 feet for required evergreen trees. The applicants may still provide the 4 foot Pinyons and Junipers as additional trees beyond the minimum requirements. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve Lot 7, Block 4, Landscape Plan modification as depicted on plan sets dated received 4-9-97 with the following condition: 1. All evergreen trees proposed on the revised landscape plan shall meet the standard Planning and Zoning Commission policy for minimum planting heights of 6 feet.
