RE: Landscaping on Double-Frontage Lots
Thank you for asking my opinion on requiring a bond for the
landscaping of double-frontage lots. If this project were
approved under the site plan regulations, we could clearly
require landscaping under Section 32 .7 . We could also require
that the trees be bonded, if the developer did not wish to plant
them before receiving a certificate of occupancy for the first
dwelling in this project.
Phase 2A of Redfields is being reviewed as a plat, however, not a
plan. If the Subdivision Ordinance requires plantings for.
double-frontage lots, then the developer must plant them before
the final plat is approved, or bond them if he does not wish to
plant immediately. Before a bond is required for the
landscaping, I would like something from your Department for our
files identifying the section of the Subdivision Ordinance that
requires landscaping in this case (perhaps 18-36 (m) . I do not
believe that the landscaping was required as part of the
rezoning. Of course, if it shows up on the application plan, we
could require that it be planted and, if not planted, then
bonded.
Please let me know what you discover.
