Landscape Plan – Retail Shopping Center by Doppco Development – 1100 Charles Lane

Landscape Plan - Retail Shopping Center by Marysville Land Development – Coleman’s 

                                    Crossing Blvd.

 

Jim Elliott reviewed the site plan for the proposed retail shopping center stating originally it was one building but because of a 10” sanitary sewer main running through the property it had to be split into two buildings.  Mr. Elliott stated Barb McCoy suggested buffering the storage facility.  Grass in island is shown.  They will probably landscape more than what plan shows.  There will be architectural lighting, plantings, etc., along the building with pedestrian friendly seating.  109 trees are required – 118 are shown on the drawings.  It was noted 3’ mounding is required along Coleman’s Crossing Blvd.  Mr. Elliott stated it was brought to his attention by the Design Review Board that the planting details are incorrect but they will be changed.

 

The above recommendation will be reviewed at the next regularly scheduled meeting.
