Ill. LANDSCAPE AMENDMENTS
~
Mr. Bell briefly reviewed what was discussed at the last lands cape amendments meeting.
He stated he had created a table using the Commission's feedback. The Commission
reviewed and commented on the four page table.
Ms. Krieger said the first chart ent itl ed "Landscap ing Requirements for Off-street Parking
Lots" looked good . Mr. Welker said he would like to see the words "at maturity" added to
the height of shrubs for clarity. Also he would like to see the size of the shrub that is
required, such as five gallon. The size of islands in interior of parking lots was discussed .
The next table discussed was Screening Requirements. Mr. Bell also presented a slideshow
of var ious screening examp les. Fencing maintenance issues were discussed . Mr. Welker
noted fencing acts as a safety barrier too. Mr. Bell said commercial and industrial
enterprises tend to want to do a fence rather than landscape which requires more upkeep.
Mr. Fish noted in the multi-unit section the "less than " shou ld be three units, not four. In the
footnotes it was suggested to add "at the time of development" to the first sentence . Staff
wi ll work on the wording. Mr. Bell said the category "Ind ustri al Use and Residential Use"
may need to be expanded or a new category created for things such as parks, schools,
churches, libraries, and government buildings. Mr. Welker asked about cell towers. Mr. Bell
said those are Conditional Uses where screening requirements c_ould be imposed.
The next chart discussed was Screening of Uti liti es, Loading Areas, Outdoor Storage,
Storage Yards, and Trash Collection/Compaction Areas. Mr. Bell noted he did not create a
new table for this category; he updated the c urrent table. Storage yards was been added in
