SUBJECT: To consider a request for a variance to the landscaping requirements.
FILE: 708-BA
STAFF REPORT
William Kalkman would like to remove the mature trees located in the off-street parking
perimeter. The existing mature trees and hedge meet the requirements of the ordinance.
The ordinance states, "A landscaping edge or buffer shall be required along each side of
a parking lot that faces towards a public right-of-way. The landscaping edge shall be no
less than six (6) feet wide and may use up to three (3) feet of the public right-of-way, if
unused and available at the time of permitting. The landscaping edge shall contain no
less than one (1) class A tree or two (2) class B trees for each twenty-five (25) lineal feet
or fraction thereof of the edge.
The existing trees are class A trees. The applicant would like to replace the trees, and
existing shrubs, with a newly landscaped strip containing class B trees. The applicant
states that the large trees impede security for the property. Please note that landscaping
along other sections of the parking perimeter do not meet requirements.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions
necessary for a variance have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
