Hello Al and Amy,
I have this permit on my desk and there is no landscaping proposal in the packet submittal, perhaps it was missed in the submittal? Can you please forward along the proposed landscaping treatment for the project, consistent with the discussion below?

If there is concern, you could use something much smaller, like a vine maple, that's more shruby in a small space. The Municipal Code requires frontage landscaping and the proposal is to remove and modify the area under that ordinance so unfortunately, you will need to plant something. The sweetgum trees planted there that are being removed are some of the absolute worst offenders when it comes to hard scape and wall damage due to surface rooting.

Chris this business has had to replace both the parking lot and the retaining wall partly because of damage from the trees roots. Are we certain that we want to require replanting trees in this tight of a space, just want to double check?

Technically yes, they do need shrubs and ground covers to meet the code.
The type IIa treatment standard is intended to apply most often to non-residential commercial and mixed use development. A single row of medium to large trees (or small trees if overhead utilities are present) suitably spaced in association with a 50/50 mix of evergreen and deciduous shrubs to provide the minimum 75 percent visual separation up to a height of 4.5 feet above the local grade within three years. Trees shall be planted at intervals of no greater than 30 feet. Appropriate shrub masses and living ground cover shall provide 75 percent ground area coverage within three years. Shrubs shall be placed at 5-7 foot center intervals throughout the planting area, with ground cover plantings placed at 18-36" on-center intervals. Shrubs shall be alternated, modulated and designed to provide a visual variation in height, depth, contrasting colors and textures. No turf grass shall be planted within the required landscape yard (typically 10-12' for front and street side yard areas, see PMC 20.58.005 (2). Bio-swales or rain gardens may be placed within these landscaping areas as long as they are designed to meet the intent of this section.

Hi Chris,
Will the city be requiring shrubs and ground cover in addition to the street trees in this planting bed? There is no irrigation system so the watering will have to be done by hand.
Thanks,

Hello Al,
I cannot tell you how to design your project, but I can tell you we have had good success in very tight spaces near hard surfacing with European Hornbeam https://www.jfschmidt.com/pdfs/pyramidalhornbeam.pdf

Chris we are replacing a failing retaining wall and in doing so will need to remove three trees. We were given your name as someone who could recommend appropriate new species of trees to replace the existing trees. Any advice / guidance you could give us would be appreciated!

Kelsey - Please find attached the drawings for the LaPetite retaining wall. We had some computer issues so I have added some hand notes to get this out the door with out further delay. I am hoping you can run this by the city and see if it is good enough to get the application in. I need you to add the survey drawing to our 3 sheets. Give me a call to discuss. Thx. kw
