For the landscaping review, revisions are required before I can approve. On L1.2, the irrigation information for Planters A-E is insufficient. These areas must either be connected to the permanent underground or drip irrigation system or redesigned to include drought-resistant vegetation, in which case you must provide a two-year plant establishment schedule describing the amount of water to be applied over a two-year time period and how that water will be distributed to the plant material. You will need to submit a revised sheet L1.2 and also a revised sheet L1.1 with drought-resistant vegetation to replace Ginkgo biloba Autumn Gold and Hino-Crimson Azalea in these areas if you choose that option.
Sec. 807.040. - Irrigation.
(a) A permanent underground or drip irrigation system with an approved backflow prevention device shall be provided for all landscaped areas required under the UDC; provided, however, a permanent underground or drip irrigation system is not required for:
(1) Existing healthy vegetation that has been established for at least two years and that is being preserved to meet the landscaping requirements under this chapter;
(2) New vegetation that is drought resistant, in which case a two-year plant establishment schedule shall be provided with the landscaping plan describing the amount of water to be applied over a two-year time period and how that water will be distributed to the plant material; and
(3) New vegetation located within stormwater facilities as required by the Public Works Design Standards, in which case a two-year plant establishment schedule shall be provided with the landscaping plan describing the amount of water to be applied over a two-year time period and how that water will be distributed to the plant material. |
