amount of planting. There are four new street trees and those are London Plane trees <br />all shown as 15 gallon. The 15 gallon is fairly small size when you come out of a <br />nursery. 24 -inch box is the next size up and a 48 -inch box is probably the largest you'd <br />want to put down in a situation like this. The problem is when they get too big they don't <br />do as well initially, so we want to make sure we pick something in the middle of the road <br />if we're going to upsize the trees. We want to make sure we give those trees the best <br />chance to succeed in the long run so that's probably a 24 -inch box sized planting. If you <br />all have L -1 open you can see that the majority of the new planting is in the area of the <br />tree to be removed and along the frontage, so the tree to be removed is in the center of <br />the driveway. That's the oak that Commissioner Allen mentioned. So, yes, four new <br />street trees as well as some new Southern Live Oak as on the entry drive. All of those <br />we would recommend be increased in size from 15 gallon to 24 -inch box to give you <br />that pop initially on the landscape. <br />Balch: All four you're saying? <br />Beaudin: I'm saying all four of the London Plane and the three oaks that are proposed. <br />There's one actually farther up the driveway on Lot 3 as well. <br />O'Connor: So they won't let us plant any on the Preserve community association? <br />Unfortunately that's part of the two -story structure that's going to be the most visible, but <br />not much side yard space to the west. <br />Balch: Back to the sidewalks, I'm looking at L -1 and see this proposed sidewalk and <br />does appear that it is drawn in here. Is that approximately where staff believes the <br />sidewalk would go under their current Condition No. 38? <br />Weinstein: Yes. <br />Balch: Is a 6 -foot width sidewalk per Condition No. 38 the standard width? <br />Weinstein: Yes. We occasionally see slightly smaller sidewalks, but 6 feet is a good <br />wide sidewalk for a few people walking side by side. <br />Beaudin: Commissioner Balch, could I just jump in with the Complete Streets Policy <br />again? The target around town is 6 feet and it doesn't necessarily have to be right up <br />against the road like it is shown in this plan. So if you're going to modify Condition <br />No. 38 if you decide to keep that condition, then what I would recommend is that you <br />give the flexibility for it to be designed in a way that's more consistent with the rural <br />character of the street, so it could be off the edge of the street, it could be meandering, <br />and it could be definitely of a different material. <br />O'Connor: Similar to the one we discussed at the church property? <br />Beaudin: Exactly— meandering, pushed away from the road edge. <br />Balch: And to continue on that question about Condition No. 38, obviously they've <br />drawn it further on the property they don't own so that's a little bit of an issue. Laurel <br />Creek has a sidewalk. Is that on this side or is that on the other side? <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 9, 2016 Page 10 of 25 <br />
