LDC 6.8.6.K(5) - Buffering (Landscape requirements 2.12.24)

CODE states E-Type buffer shall consist of a five-foot wide landscape strip without a buffer wall. The buffer shall contain at least four shade trees for every 100 lineal feet or fractional part thereof. Shrubs shall be planted in a double-staggered row and be capable of reaching a maintained height of six feet within three years. Groundcovers and/or turfgrass shall not be used in this buffer.

APPLICANT - The applicant is seeking a waiver from the 5-foot E type buffer requirement. Because this project is a small scale replat and located within an established subdivision, enforcing the buffer would be inconsistent with the existing character and layout of neighboring properties. However, to maintain harmony with the surrounding parcels, healthy shade trees and existing vegetation will be preserved wherever practical.
