Following is language from Section 5, H, 5, b ofthe Zoning Ordinance: <br /> <br />"Buffer yards 30 feet in width shall be provided adjacent to all residential uses <br />outside the neighborhood business district. The buffer yard shall be landscaped <br />with a combination of evergreen trees (six-foot high minimum) and deciduous <br />trees (three-inch caliper minimum) such that the use is effectively screened from <br />the adjacent residences. The buffer yard landscaping shall not be inclwied into <br />the minimum landscaping calculation (Section A, 5, A). " <br /> <br />Based on this language additional landscaping material and green space should be provided to <br />effectively screenlbuffer adjacent residential properties from the development. The residential <br />properties here are to the south and to the west. The applicant has proposed landscaping of <br />337.5-368.5 caliper inches oflandscaping in the 30-foot buffer yard areas. These amounts could <br />not be included in the table above. <br /> <br />Staff would recommend a condition in the POO document to modify the landscaping in the 30- <br />foot buffer along the west property line from the current design of solely deciduous and <br />ornamental trees (Spring Snow Crabapples and Amur Maples), to include coniferous trees. This <br />will provide better year-round screening for the properties to the west. In addition, staff would <br />recommend that the Colorado Spruce and American Linden trees to the southeast of unit #20 <br />(SOUtll of the trash enclosure) be switched around to create a larger grouping of the Spruce. This <br />should prevent the headlight glare from southbound traffic from becoming a nuisance for the <br />residential properties to the south. <br /> <br />\\Earth\Planlling\Planning Cases\200S\05-l2 Arden Hills Office Park - Royal Oaks Realty - PlJD, Preliminary Plat for Old City Hall & PW Site <br />(PENDlNG)\06-01 -04 PC Report Royal Oaks 05-12.doc <br /> <br />Page 7 of 18 <br />
