Buffer Requiremnts
The buffer requirement is listed under Condition #2.d and reads as follows:
West line of Veterans Parkway: A 50 feet wide strip of land entirely within the
Grey Rock property and along the common boundary of the Grey Rock Property and
the west right-of-way line of Veterans Parkway, planted with evergreens (such
as Burford and Carissa Holly) and other trees and plant materials as included
on Exhibit "C" attached hereto and made a part hereof. Clear cutting of this
Buffer shall be prohibited at any time after the initial landscaping is planted
and installed, it being the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that the
only trees or other plant materials that may be cut down or removed after such
initial landscaping are dead or diseased trees and other plant materials.
Attitude of Property Owners: Ten (10) property owners within 300 feet were notified of
the rezoning request. The Planning Department received two inquiries regarding
the request.
Additional Information: The applicant has requested to reduce the buffer to allow for larger
back yards on the affected lots.
Condition #2.d, as well as all of the other conditions placed on the property,
were self-imposed by the development company. They were not conditions imposed
by Council. This condition requires a planted buffer, not an undisturbed
buffer.
