Site area is calculated as described in Section 32.7.9.8 (c). Please provide a calculation on the
landscaping plan identifying the percentage and sq. ft. of required and proposed canopy area. Be sure
the calculation identifies where the 9,353 sq. ft. of canopy is coming from. Rev. 1: Comment
partially addressed, please update the total canopy provided once the total canopy for the
proposed London Plane trees has been updated, per comments #18a above.
f All proposed landscaping must be species identified on the Albemarle County Approved Plants List.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
g. Canopy areas for specific tree and shrub species can be obtained from the Plant Canopy Calculations
