During a meeting with Planning and Zoning, it was agreed that due to area and configuration of existing pavement, no new landscaping is possible without demolition of paved area. As such, the majority of landscaping for this project is "existing to remain". Two new landscaping planters shall be (3'-0" x 3'-0" planter boxes, shown on drawings} owner- provided and maintained, likely consisting of annual flora readily available from local nurseries. (5} Identification and location ofnon-living landscaping materials to be used; The GLM site plan includes paving for parking lotto meet the minimum city zoning requirement. The remainder of the site shall be gravel yard used for staging projects and storing materials. (6} Dumpster enclosure GLM requires their dumpster to be quickly and frequently relocated for various different processes and projects. As such, a dumpster enclosure would not be practical. The dumpster's storage position is still concealed from public view by existing native vegetation. We respectfully request approval of the GLM site plan as submitted.
