RE: ARB-2018-136: North Pointe Northwest Residential Area Final Site Plan
Dear Scott,
I have reviewed the site plan with revision date of 3/5/19 submitted to address comments outlined in the action
Ietter from the December 3, 2018 ARB meeting. Issues remain outstanding as outlined below. Comment
numbers and blue text reference the December 6, 2018 action. letter.
2. Add sill courses below the second story windows on elevations facing Rt. 29.
Sill courses were added; however, at the ARB work session on April 1, 2019, the ARB indicated that the
following changes are required:
a. Remove the dormers.
b. Remove the closed gable and replace with an open gable.
C. Remove the small windows in the open gables and replace with vents.
7. Add 2 large shade trees, 2%z" caliper at planting, on both sides of Lewis & Clark Drive, (for a total
of 4 trees) within 400' of the Rt. 29 intersection.
It appears that one tree previously shown on the plan has been shifted closer to Lewis & CIark Drive,
but no trees have been added. Please add 2 large shade trees, 21/2" caliper at planting, on both sides of
Lewis & Clark Drive, (for a total of 4 trees) within 400' of the Rt. 29 intersection. Please provide an
annotated plan clearly identifying the added trees.
8. Add 4'-6' evergreen trees in the mixed median planting.
It appears that no trees have been added and no changes in species have been made. Please add 4'-6'
evergreen trees in the mixed median planting and provide an annotated plan clearly identifying the
added trees.
9. Provide a landscape maintenance agreement for the median plants.
11. Demonstrate that all landscaping will be maintained by the HOA.
Include on the subdivision plat a landcape easement(s) for all areas that show landscaping on
individual lots.
12. Revise the species of shrubs proposed along Lewis & Clark Drive to ones that can easily be
acquired at 24" planting height.
The shrub species retrain as in the previous plan. Please revise the species of shrubs proposed along
Lewis & Clark Drive to ones that can easily be acquired at 24" planting height. Please provide an
annotated plan clearly identifying the changes.
13. Confirm with Anchor block, and provide documentation, that 3' is sufficient spacing between
large trees and the retaining wall where geo-grid is used. Otherwise, increase planting area to
accommodate the trees.
No change appears on the plan. Please provide documentation from Anchor Block stating that
minimum spacing required between large trees and the retaining wall where geo-grid is used. If trees
are shifted to coordinate with Anchor Block planting requirements, provide an annotated plan clearly
identifying the changes.
14. Revise the plan to show landscaping at the stormwater facility located at the south end of the
project area consistent with the previous approval.
The previous approval showed landscaping along the west side of the maintenance access path to the
stormwater facilitly located at the south end of the project area. Please add this landscaping to the
current plan.
PLANT SCHEDULE
Acer Rubrum is listed as both a canopy tree and an understory tree, and Redbud is listed as a screening
tree in the plant schedule. Please place the trees in the correct categories and double-check all plant
counts.
Please provide:
1. One full set of revised drawings — SITE PLAN AND ARCHITECTURAL - addressing each of these
conditions.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. Note that
detailed responses can facilitate plan review. For example, "species have been revised" is less helpful
than, "the dwarf hydrangea have been replaced with Otto Luyken cherry laurel'.
3. For the landscape changes, please provide an annotated plan clearly identfl} ing the changes.
4. A list of additional changes made that were not requested. Note that highlighting the changes in the
drawing with "clouding' or by other means will facilitate review and approval.
5. The attached `Revised Application Submittal" form. This form must be returned with your revisions to
ensure proper tracking and distribution.
'When staffs review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of
Appropriateness may be issued.
