I may have misunderstood when we spoke on the phone and allowed these to be removed. I have noted this and the other items below that will need to be addressed before I can release for permit. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks D. Tracy Spillman, RLA Plans and Development Administrator City of Little Rock - Department of Planning and Development 723 W. Markham Little Rock, AR 72701 501.371.4864 1. Vitex will need to be specified as a tree with a minimum 2" caliper. You may want to change this to a different plant if you're concerned 2" caliper plants of this specie will not be available. However, as this plant location is shown on the plans a tree will need to be specified to meet the perimeter requirements. Other plant suggestions include Kwanzan Cherry, Tree Form Foster Holly, Redbud 2. The perimeter plantings north of the Stagecoach are required to meet the ordinance requirements and will need to be added back. Sec. 15-96. - Perimeter planting strips. A perimeter planting strip is required along any side of a vehicular use area that abuts adjoining property. Trees shall be planted with an average linear spacing of not less than thirty (30) feet within the required landscape area. Three (3) shrubs or vines for every thirty (30) linear feet shall be planted in the perimeter planting strip. 3. All shrub material must be eighteen (18) inches in height at installation to receive credit. Provide shrub specification or note stating shrub materials will be eighteen (18) inches in height at installation. 4. The screening plants (Yaupon Holly) next to the tree preservation area will need to be specified 2" minimum caliper and full to the ground. In addition add the plant symbol in to the legend or key the plants. Note: A plant suggestion that could better suit this screening purpose may be Emerald Green Arborvitae, spaced 5'-0" o.c. specified at 2" caliper and 5'-6' Height at installation. (plants are to be a minimum of 6' ht. at the end of one year) 5. Include the note that "an automatic irrigation system shall be provided for all new landscape areas and provide 100% full coverage". Or provide the overall landscape irrigation sheet.

On this current plan the Crape Myrtles were switched with Vitex agnus-castus and the arrangement of the plantings that were in the perimeter buffer to the east side were changed to allow for more visibility to the building. The perimeter planting to the north side of the Stagecoach entryway was removed and most of the plantings were relocated to the perimeter plantings to the north and east sides of the property. A screen of Yaupon Holly's has been added on the back of the property against the tree preservation area. Also, one of the trees near the sign to the south side of the site was moved so that there would be more visibility to the sign from the street. All notes that were addressed in the comments were added to the landscape plan. Just to clarify are the Vitex considered to be trees or shrubs for the City of Little Rock? Also, would the Yaupon Holly's used in the screen be considered to be counted toward the number of trees required in the perimeter planting? If you have any comments or questions about the landscape plan you can direct them to either Tom Burry or myself. Thanks!
