Motion: Mr.Van Der Werf moved for approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness for ARB-2017-137:
North Pointe Middle Entrance Stormwater Management Facility Landscaping-Preliminary review
of a Site Development Plan with the following required conditions:

on the street. If grading prevents relocating the access,provide additional landscape screening.
2. Provide additional planting along the south and west sides of the access easement to better
integrate the path into the surroundings.
3. Increase the density of trees on the north/west side of the stormwater facility. Mix evergreens and
deciduous trees,and large and small trees.
4. On the conservation side of the facility, add trees and revise the layout of shrubs to emphasize the
natural character of surroundings.
5. Revise the plans to show the existing frontage condition the full length of the frontage and to
show the 40' landscape buffer. Identify on the plan the places where existing wooded area is not
sufficient to accomplish the buffer,and show on the plan the planting that will be added to create
the 40' buffer in those areas.
6. Add the standard plant health note to the plan: "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be
allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs
and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant."
7. Show existing and proposed tree lines on the plans.
8. Round the contours at the maintenance path and at the northeast of the pond for a more natural
appearance.
