06/05/2013: What happened to the trees in the landscaped areas adjacent to the enclosed
mall? The Code requires "full tree stocking" in all landscape areas within 50 feet of any
building. Full tree stocking to occur along all high use or high visibility sides of any building
or structure (LUC 3.2.1(D)(1)(c)).
Along the northwest façade of the mall, there are existing water mainlines and gas lines running
underneath the planting beds. Per the city standards, we need to keep 10’ between trees and
water or sewer mains, and 6’ between trees and gas lines, which means we don’t have space for
tree planting for that area.

06/05/2013: The cross hatching on sheets AR-A-108 & AR-A-109 is going to be a problem with
scanning & reproduction. See redlines.
Our typical fire plans need to show the fire lane access path and in a hatched pattern so it is
easy to read and contrast with the building and site plan.
