RE: General Health Care Services Landscape Plan response comments
Dear Mr. Fuchs,

LANDSCAPE PLAN PLANNING RESPONSE COMMENTS:
9. Site vision lines have been added to the intersections of Lemay Avenue and Poudre River
Drive, and Poudre River Drive and the private drive. Vision clearance areas (areas 15' from any
curb cut) within the parking lot have noted with plantings limited to 24" in height.
10. Landscape Plans indicate minimum size requirements LUC 3.2.1d(4). Refer to Plant
Legend, "Conditions" category on landscape plan for the plan specification location. The
landscape plan provides for requirements specified in LUC for full tree stocking, exceeds

12.
A. The parking lot setback area between the private drive and the north portion of parking (the
portion north of the entry curb cut) requires 3.5 trees (140' frontage/40 = 3.5 trees). 4 trees are
provided. Additional shrubs are added to this are to fulfill the additional 70% screening and
seasonal interest requirements. The parking lot setback area south of the entry drive requires
5.7 trees (228' frontage/40 = 5.7 trees). 6 trees are provided within this area. 24 shrubs are
provided within this area to fulfill the additional screening and seasonal interest requirements.
B. The south and north ends of the parking lot require 1.5 trees for each (60740 = 1.5 trees).
Three trees have been shown on the south end and two on the north end. Shrub beds have
been added to each end to fulfill the 70% screening and seasonal interest requirements.

notes have been added the landscape plan if the Forestry Department deems these trees
