additional street trees are needed to be provided for the full length of the road

to show full growth.

lot, so that the parking is screened from the public street. The shrubs shown do
not meet this requirement, more are needed for screening. The requirement is
that they be planted 5 feet on center, however if a larger shrub is chosen, this
can be changed, just need to be certain that adequate screening is provided.
