Landscaping No landscape plan was submitted with this proposal but a landscape plan was provided in 2003 for the entire development. That plan shows approximately 25 trees in the subject area. Staff recommends that the applicant work with staff on developing a landscape plan that provides for 25 new trees. The wetland buffering requirements are intended to separate impervious surfaces from the wetlands, to allow storm water to cool, drop pollutant, and infiltrate before entering the protected waters. The applicant should revise the landscaping plan to provide for these benefits,in lieu of providing the required buffer.
