This parcel was created as Lot 3 of the Chenal Square Preliminary

F. ISSUES TECHNICAL DESIGN:
Landscape•
The proposed on site street buffer width along Chenal
Parkway meets the 21 foot requirement when averaged out. A
three foot wide building landscape strip is required between
public parking areas and the building. There is some
flexibility with this requirement. If there are to be
separate lot lease lines then a four to six foot wide
landscape strip will be required by the Landscape Ordinance
along either side of the lot lease line associated with
vehicular use areas. This is not required, however, where
platted access easements occur.
Issues•
The following are unresolved items on the site plan review
submittal.
Sign location and design
