street and along the west and south sides of the rear parking area. The 6
foot fence running along the entire north side proves a visual barrier and a
dense vegetation barrier will screen the neighbors to the west.
iii. Statement of proposed ownership and maintenance of public and
private open space areas; applicant's intension with regards to future
ownership of all or portions of the project development plan:
The owner will be responsible for maintaining open space on the site.
iv. Estimated number of employees for commercial use:
The number of employees will be a minimum of 1 and maximum of 4.
v. Description of rationale behind the assumption and choices made
by the applicant.
The rationale is for an upscale beauty salon that services mainly existing
clients by appointment only. The site was chosen due to the centralized
location for those clients and not to attract new business through
advertisement along Lemay Ave. Therefore the salon is not affected by
competition or close proximity to other salons.
vi. Evidence of successful completion of applicable criteria:
We are submitting this PDP to the best of our ability to comply with city
codes and criteria.
vii. Description of how conflicts between land uses or disturbances to
natural habitats and wildlife are being avoided to the maximum
extent feasible or are mitigated:
The plan we are proposing will enhance the existing habitat for wildlife
along the Spring Creek corridor. Through the planting of specific species
of vegetation, nesting habitat, food and cover will be created for songbirds
and mammals. Conflicts and disturbances should be minimal due to the
low volume of new traffic into the area.
viii. Concern raised by the neighborhood:
To our knowledge, no concerns have been expressed by any of the
neighbors.
ix. Project Name:
Testa Beauty Salon.

environmental and recreational needs between Spring Creek along with
the bike path to the south, and the beauty salon building and parking areas
to the north. Landscaping materials and other specifications will be in
accordance with Section 3.2.1 of the city's LUC's. Since there is a 100'
buffer required from the top bank of Spring Creek to any improvements on
the property, about 30%, or 5300 square feet of the property is situated in
this zone. The landscaping in this buffer has been designed primarily for
wildlife, natural appearance along the Spring Creek corridor and visual
barriers from the city bike path in accordance with Section 3.4.1 of the
city's LUC's. The area between the main building and Lemay Avenue will
