Placing trees in the median is consistent with previous ARB actions for this type of development.
Given the recent information provided on the
depth of the pipe,please show the trees in the median.
vv2. On September 18 and October 2,the ARB considered the information in the articles you provided
VVV on the relationship between tree planting size and establishment/growth. At this time,the ARB
cannot support the smaller planting size for Entrance Corridor frontage trees for this proposal.
The ARB did note that they are willing to consider additional information on the subject, and
acknowledged that a change of this type would require Board of Supervisors approval of a
revision to the Entrance Corridor Design Guidelines.The landscape plan will need to show a 31/2"
caliper planting size for EC frontage trees at a quantity equivalent to one tree for every 35' of
frontage.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
Site development and layout
❑ 6 Site development should be sensitive to the existing natural landscape and /`� enta
h c %,e _
should contribute to the creation of an organized development plan. This
may be accomplished, to the extent practical, by preserving the trees and
rolling terrain typical of the area;planting new trees along streets and
pedestrian ways and choosing species that reflect native forest elements;
insuring that any grading will blend into the surrounding topography ,t
thereby creating a continuous landscape;preserving,to the extent practical, ,,, f„ day .v A/f-4)—
existing significant river and stream valleys which may be located on the i3 " � -� ,' �>+ // Pl�
site and integrating these features into the design of surrounding 2/i,Led A.P34/ 4e
development;and limiting the building mass and height to a scale that does` W7u n
not overpower the natural settings of the site, or the Entrance Corridor.
Landscaping
❑ 7 The requirements of the Guidelines regarding landscaping are intended to is �r�r,c.r� Gv�e ; ,Q A4) a- ter
reflect the landscaping characteristic of many of the area's significant
historic sites which is characterized by large shade trees and lawns.
Landscaping should promote visual order within the Entrance Corridor and /_t€1.1.4 & _, te'n-44`na-14-6e
help to integrate buildings into the existing environment of the corridor. rv-c„y �c J�d ,Q c C %reA'
❑ 8 Continuity within the Entrance Corridor should be obtained by planting �` 6
different types of plant materials that share similar characteristics. Such -� �h-�+�� #
common elements allow for more flexibility in the design of structures n 71
because common landscape features will help to harmonize the appearance
of development as seen from the street upon which the Corridor is centered.
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES
Accessory structures and equipment
V 18 The following should be located to eliminate visibility from the Entrance
Corridor street. If, after appropriate siting,these features will still have a
negative visual impact on the Entrance Corridor street, screening should be Al
provided to eliminate visibility.
