Case File: CU 11-O1 <br />Page 4 <br />Conditional Use Permit <br />Landscaping <br />The site currently has one tree in the parking area and the original landscape plan indicates eight shade <br />trees and numerous ornamental shrubs and spreading evergreens <br />As was mentioned, staff is looking for site improvements with additional landscaping beyond the <br />approved plan. Staff has attached two landscape option plans. Option A shows 33 trees spread out <br />through the large asphalt parking area. Option B shows 19 trees and a large turf area to remove some the <br />hard surface from the site. <br />The applicant has not developed a landscaping plan. <br />The applicant feels that adding landscaping to the site will prevent it from being seen. As you can see on <br />the images (CU 11-01 Ashley 16 thru CU 11-01 Ashley 20) the subject site is virtually not visible from <br />Hwy 169 due to other buildings, other landscaping and road speed. Staff does not believe that adding <br />trees would further block the view. The propose heights of the signage will still be seen above trees that <br />get 25-30 feet tall. From Freeport, the trees would not block visibility of the signage. <br />Based on the improvements proposed bythe applicant, staff is recommending Option A. <br />Cart Corral <br />The applicant has indicated that theywish to locate cart corrals in the parking lot, for the potential Tenant <br />3. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />^ Location Map <br />^ Applicant's Narrative <br />^ Elk Park Center Existing Signage Requirements <br />^ Optional Landscape Plans <br />^ Proposed Signage Exhibit <br />^ Site Plan <br />^ Elevations <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />N:\Departmnts\Co*nT*mn~tyDevelopmern\Planning\Case Files\CCTP\CU 11-01 AshleyFuiniture\CU 11-01 PCdocx <br />
