The proposed interior landscaping islands within the parking
lot to be parallel with Cantrell Road should be increased in
area to help break up the large sea of pavement. A six foot
high opaque screen, either a wooden fence with its face
directed outward or dense evergreen plantings, is required
along the residential zoned properties to the -north and
east.
If dumpsters are to be used, their locations should be shown
and also screened on three sides with an eight foot high
wall or wood fence. The City Beautiful Commission
recommends that as many trees be saved as feasible. Extra
credit can be given when existing trees of six inch caliper
or larger are preserved. Curb and gutter or another
approved protective border will be required to protect
landscaped areas from vehicular use.
