Currently, there is no planting strip shown along the southern side of the proposed private street. Please be aware that the only street requirement that was waived during the rezoning process was to not require sidewalk along the north side of the street. As shown on the preliminary plat, the street design does not meet the same standard as was shown on the ZMA2019-16 concept plan (planting strip along south side of street between sidewalk and proposed curb & gutter within street ROW). b. See Engineering Division comment #6 for additional information. RESPONSE: The limits of the proposed private street ROW have been identified and labeled. The planting strip has been provided along the southern side of the parking lot. Thank you so much for you time.
