quality. It is the intent of the developer to preserve that portion which is of highest <br /> quality. As shown on the plans for the site, the area of tree preservation will be <br /> approximately 3.52 acres. Additional tree preservation is to occur in the Type 7 <br /> wetland and on the property boundary between River Park and Sunset Ridge. <br /> VI. LANDSCAPING <br /> Landscaping for the proposed development shows a mix of native and hardy tree <br /> species consisting of Overstory, Coniferous and Ornamental trees to be planted <br /> in single-family areas, boulevards, multi-family areas and park areas. The <br /> landscape plans show approximately 1,218 trees to be planted. In general, this <br /> consists of boulevard trees in the single-family areas. The multi-family areas <br /> have both boulevard and rear yard plantings. Deciduous and Coniferous shrubs <br /> will also be provided around the townhome units in plant beds with mulch and <br /> edging as indicated by the typical detail shown on the landscape plan. <br /> There will be additional deciduous and coniferous trees provided along the <br /> northern and northeastern edge of the development adjacent the county roads, <br /> including the dedicated right-of-way. These trees are proposed for additional <br /> screening and buffering for the single-family and townhomes in this area. <br /> Additional trees are have been added at the street entrances, park areas and <br /> along the proposed trails along with a landscape median which is proposed at <br /> the northeast entrance of the development from County Road 40 to the Public <br /> Park. This median will have additional overstory trees and sod groundcover for a <br /> continuous green corridor to the proposed public park. The Public Park area will <br /> have additional trees around the perimeter to add landscape interest to the park <br /> and boulevard areas. <br /> Generalized sod and seed areas have also been identified on the landscape <br /> plans for both single-family and multi-family areas. Sod is proposed for front\side <br /> yards and seed (native residential turf mix) is proposed for rear yards. Large <br /> open space areas in the proposed outlots will also have a native residential turf <br /> mix application. Sod is also proposed for all rights-of-way areas. A native prairie <br /> grass seed mixture is proposed for the open space area under the power lines. <br /> All rights-of-ways and multi-family areas shall receive irrigation. Irrigation in <br /> single-family residential lots is not required however, it is recommended to <br /> promote healthy grow of plant materials. Irrigation shall be at the responsibility of <br /> the residential homeowners in single-family lots. <br /> VII. Public Parks <br /> Two Public parks are proposed for the River Park Development. These two <br /> parks are an enhanced amenity for the overall development providing increased <br /> open green space and recreational opportunities for residents of River Park. <br /> 1 <br /> FAENG1633001264\REPORTS1River Park Narratve.426.doc <br />
