Sh¢,nkwiler: We have an opportunity, because of the widths of this access, to create berms of that magnitude, yes. Hed[ding wondered how many trees would be planted around the perimeter. Shonkwiler: We have 97 shade trees, 25 ornamental trees, and 59 evergreen trees. That's just around the perimeter and in the Albertson's parking lot. Davidson called for any further Council questions. NONE Davidson wondered where in the overall Parcel O are they not meeting the Gateway design guidelines. PauL1 Wood, Planning Director, explained that going straight out of the design guidelines: 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) Through the PUD the applicant is requesting a variance to the parking ration, 5 rather than 6 per thousand. The free standing signs. With regard to Lot 1, the hard surface vs. landscaping, the Gateway design guidelines are a little more restrictive in terms of a higher landscape percentage, 25% rather than 10 - 15%. He stated that Albertsons had indicated 17% rather than 25%. Landscaping - the Gateway design guidelines, in terms of internal landscaping, we created a standard for one tree for every parking space and increased on the perimeter one tree for every 20' of linear feet, rather than 35'. Wood stated that as long as there is a 10' wide planting strip, it's in compliance. He didn't see anywhere on Lot 1 that they fall below 10'. Hornbostel wondered what was included in the 17% open space. Shonkwiler stated that the calculation is only for that which is on the Albertson's property and is landscaped. It is in the landscaped medians. It's along the entry drive. It's inside of Lot 1 along the streets. Also, to the rear of the store on Lot 1. Hornbostel wanted wording included to state that on the perimeter lots they may have a monument sign or a building identification, not both. Mayer wanted more detail on the landscaping on the monument sign on the corner of Dillon and McCaslin. 5
