BUILDIDIG DEPARTMENT REQUESTS : 1) Brendan Place, Lorain Road and David Drive Revised Landscape plan Heard by the Architectural Board of Review June 22, 1988 ' S. Schill, architect, advised that the Architectur.al Board had recom- mended changing the snecies of some plan.ts, but basically approved the revised plan as submitted. He explained.that.they are replacing the proposed landscaping along David Drive with grass because their reten- tion system was relocated to that area and since it is.only about a foot deep, their engineers had recommended that the landscaping be eliminated; they will also be saving a hedge and some trees on the rear pronerty line; and will be adding some green area along the sides and rear of the building. Mr. Boyer agreed that there could be a problem with planting trees with deep roots, and suggested that they could use a ground cover or low shrubs with a.shallow root system. Mr. Schill is concerned that shrubs would die with only one foot of earth. It was clarified.that the Engineering Department had required that the system be moved (prior to Mr. Boyer's appointment)._ Mr. Morgan asked that the Engineering Department not.e that the Planning Commission does not take lightly the movement of retention systems into landscaped areas which degrades the overall intent of what the Commission is trying to do with landscaping in the city, and would appreciate it if they would look at this more closely before something is done that would have a detrimental effect on landscaping and at least bring it back to the Commission f.or their approval. R. Bierman moved to approve the revised landscape plan for Brendan Place, Lorain Road and David Drive, subject to the conditions of the Architectural Board of Review, seconded by M. Betts, and unanimously approved.
