Upham, Inc.
LDC 6.8.6.K (2) - Buffers
CODE states B-Type buffer shall consist of a 20-foot wide landscape strip with a buffer wall. The buffer shall contain at least two shade trees and three accent/ornamental trees for every 100 lineal feet or fractional part thereof. Shrubs and groundcovers, excluding turfgrass, shall comprise at least 50 percent of the required buffer.
APPLICANT states in lieu of masonry wall, provide 6' opaque PVC fence within type "A" buffer per 6.8.6.l. (1). The fence will match the existing Walmart fence. The fence will run along the boundary for approx. 1,000 LF per Exhibit 1. Lots 2 and 3 adjacent to Target will provide separate buffers per table 6.8-2.
LDC 6.13.7 Geotechnical Criteria
CODE states Minimum requirements. (1) Depth. Soil test borings shall be performed to a minimum depth of 10 feet below the proposed finished grade of the bottom of all retention/detention areas or the permanent pool elevation and once the data has been obtained the hole shall be backfilled and compacted. (2) Number of tests. At least two tests shall be performed within the boundary of each proposed retention/detention area. For each half acre of pond bottom area and for each lineal retention/detention area of 250 feet, an additional test shall be conducted. The County Engineer or his designee, may require additional tests if the initial tests indicate the need for them. (3) Infiltration/permeability tests. For retention/detention areas utilizing percolation or infiltration in the design model, there shall be a minimum of two infiltration rate tests for each retention/detention area. Data used for soil permeability testing or infiltration analyses for the retention/detention areas shall be signed and sealed by a professional engineer or professional geologist for both data and procedural accuracy. (4) Aquifer parameters. The estimated seasonal high ground water elevation and confining layer shall be clearly identified.
APPLICANT states Borings indicated on sheet C200 per the Geo-Tech report were drilled depths indicated except where encountering resistance due to limestone layer. Borings not meeting the minimum 10' below pond bottoms are indicated on sheet C200. Request waiver depth, use borings performed as sufficient information.
