18. Revise the street trees along the EC to be large deciduous trees of 3.5" caliper and
provide sufficient landscaping area, outside of the utility easements, to ensure they do
not conflict with the existing or proposed easements.
REV 1: Comment not fully addressed. Address the following:
a) Move the street trees (large shade and small ornamental), that are proposed
along the EC further west just far enough that they are no longer located
within the existing utility easement along the edge of the Route 20 right of
way. Ensure the trees also do not move any closer to the proposed
underground storage pipes then necessary to clear the existing utility
easement. Please note that large shade trees cannot be over the
underground storage facility. N/A due to layout revision. Shade trees are
10' from power lines.
b) Increase the number of large shade trees in the southern portion of Route 20
by two. The 35' EC average minimum must be met. Complete; two trees
added.
c) Ensure that the placement of the street trees in the northern portion of
Route 20 are not in too close a proximity of the asphalt shared use path
along the right of way. They should be at least 3' from the path. Complete;
tree locations adjusted.
20. Revise spacing of the large shade trees along the interior roads to meet the 40' on center
minimum spacing. Add one additional tree to the west side of Berwyn Lane, two trees to
the east side of Berwyn Lane and two trees to the south and west side of Loyola Way.
REV 1: Comment not yet fully addressed. Address the following:
a) Add one large shade tree in the northeastern portion of Berwyn Lane.
Complete; near Block A.
b) Add one large shade tree in the southeastern portion of Berwyn Lane.
Complete; near lot 100
c) Add two large shade trees in the north side of the east portion of Dauphin
Drive that is just off of Route 20. A total of three trees are required in that
area. Complete.
d) Add one large shade tree in the south side of the east portion of Dauphin
Drive that is just off of Route 20. Complete.

e) Add one large shade tree in the north side of the middle portion of Dauphin
Drive near the dog park. Complete; at intersection of Sheridan Street and
Dauphin Dr.
f) Add one large shade tree in the north side of the western portion of Dauphin
Drive. Complete; near lot 39.
g) Add one large shade tree to the south side of the western portion of Dauphin
Drive. Complete; between lots 47 & 48.
h) Add five large shade trees in the south/west side of Loyola Way. Due to
presence of main SS line prohibiting tree placement in area indicated (lots 65-
71), trees added where space permitted: one large tree between lots 63164,
one small tree between lots 65166, two large trees @ side lot 71, one large
tree @ lot 54.
i) Add landscape easements where trees are located outside of the right of way
and in private lots. In order to add some of the above trees additional
landscape easements will be required and must be added to the site plan.
Complete.
j) Revise the large shade trees to be no closer than 20' o.c., along the north/east
portion of Loyola Way. If the same number of trees cannot be provided in
these areas with a minimum spacing of 20' o.c., and the tress are needed to
meet minimum requirements, they may be relocated to other areas of the site
plan. Complete; landscape easement expanded to allow revised spacing
21. Revise the trees along pedestrian ways to be medium shade trees of 21/2" caliper and
ensure that all portions of the pedestrian ways have trees proposed along them.
REV 1: Comment not yet fully addressed. Address the following:
a) Add two medium shade trees along both portions of the "Community Park
Trails". Complete; 2 Yellowwood trees added to lower walkway, Swamp
White Oak moved to upper walkway, and 1 Yellowwood added to upper
walkway.
b) Add six medium shade trees along the pedestrian pathway between the dog
park and lots 20 through 28. These were provided in the last submission but
appear to have been removed. Five trees were in the original plan, and five
trees added/returned. Sixth tree (Sweet Gum) is considered a street tree,
but located on opposite side of walk due to utility conflict.
