Figure 6: Story-poles On-site • 4 a r , '1' � k , t. i. v t cr f sa - x F • 1r OIL Landscape & Tree Removal The proposed landscape plan includes a mix of native and non-native plant species with low water use requirements. Based on privacy concerns of the adjacent neighbor, staff has worked with the applicant to provide evergreen screen trees and shrubs in the landscape strip along the east property line. The proposed plants to be used in this area are shown in Figure 7. In addition, the applicant has designed the project around a very large Valley Oak tree to the rear of the property which will be retained as part of the application proposal. A tree report was prepared for the project and included in Exhibit B that indicates that a total of nine trees will be retained, including two off-site trees. The applicant is proposing to remove eight trees, one of which is considered a heritage-sized tree. Additional trees will be planted in each front yard, as well as along Stanley Boulevard and the property line to the east as shown in Figure 8. As currently proposed, the landscaping to the rear of the homes does not include any trees, only shrubs. The project proposal also includes a new six-foot-tall redwood fence along the entire perimeter of the property with three to four-foot wrought iron fencing proposed along Stanley Boulevard and within the front 20-feet of the property. The final design of the proposed fencing along Stanley Boulevard has been conditioned to be reviewed and approved with the submittal of building permit plans. Overall, staff finds that given the proposed planting and fencing plan, including the proposed landscape screening along the east property line, is acceptable and will adequately screen the new homes from the adjacent property. The landscape plans are also included as sheets L-1 and L-2 in Exhibit B, Project Plans.
