V4 06 Response to Board Engineers Review 2 1 26 2023

7 4. Our office has concerns regarding the close proximity of proposed oak trees near the proposed retaining wall along the southeast side of the property. The Applicant might provide an alternative species in this spatially constrained location. KDA RESPONSE: The plans have been revised to specify a smaller- growing species in this location. 5. Revise the plans to provide native plant materials and seed mix for the proposed detention basins, in accordance with the updated stormwater management regulations, for further review. PETRY RESPONSE: Native plants and seed mix has been specified on the plans (See Sheet SP-4). 6. Revise the plans to provide an alternative for proposed PS (White Pine) due to the species' mature habit of losing its lower limbs, which does not provide for an adequate buffer. KDA RESPONSE: Testimony was provided. Due to slope conditions lower level screening is not necessary, and the growth rate and crown spread of the white pines is desirable. 7. Revise the plans to provide building foundation shrubs, perennials, and grasses, to enhance aesthetics. Currently, plant material has not been provided. KDA RESPONSE: The landscape plan has been revised to include building foundation plantings. 8. Revise the plans to indicate the Township Engineer within the 'Landscape Specifications' on sheet L2.0 for plant relocations and substitutions, prior to install. KDA RESPONSE: Note #8 of the ‘Landscape Specifications’ has been revised to require the approval of the Township Engineer for plant relocations and substitutions.
