3 . Whether plant material should be added to the western most planter
abutting the curb cut .
The approved plan specifies ivy for this area. Currently compacted
base rock and one fir tree are in the planting bed.
Staff Recommendation :
That the base rock be replaced with top soil and either the
approved ivy or shrubs acceptable to staff be planted.
4 . Whether a 30 by 40 foot section on the east side of the building
should be planted in grass .
Approved plan : specifies ivy .
Staff Recommendation : That ivy be retained in this area for two
reasons : a . having a grass patch in the middle of two areas
planted with ivy will further degrade the landscape design of the
project b . maintenance will be increased by the natural spread
of grass into the ivy groundcover .
5. Whether additional plant material shall be added to the front and
east side planting areas.
See Finding #5, 6, and 7 on August 24 , 1976 staff report .
Condition#9 : "Additional trees be added to the front of the
building and located so as not to be directly over sanitary sewer
lines.
Condition #10 : "That plant material , size , and variety be subject
to staff approval .
Staff Recommendation :
That additional trees be added to the east planter bed and
shrubs (broom, photinia, etc. ) be planted in the front beds
in lieu of trees .
Note : See applicant ' s letter for his recommendation .
