Title/Name/Summary
McDonald’s - 11111 179th Street - Landscape Plan
History
This is a request for approval of a landscape plan for the proposed McDonald’s, to be located at 11111 179th Street. The Village Board approved the Site Plan and Elevations on December 17, 2012 with the condition that the petitioner submits a landscape plan, meeting all Village Codes, for separate review and approval within 60 days of final engineering approval.
Per Code requirements, the petitioner submitted a landscape plan that has been reviewed and approved by the Village’s Landscape Architect consulting firm with the following conditions:
1) Add seven (7) deciduous shrubs to meet the requirements in the South Bufferyard.
2) Add one (1) canopy tree to meet requirements in the West Bufferyard.
3) Add one (1) parking island tree to the western edge parking island.
4) The mitigation requirement of 30 - 2 ½” trees or 15 - 4” trees has been waived per Review #3 comment provided that all proposed Deciduous trees (14 total) and pear trees (6 total) be upsized to 4” caliper. The petitioner has already installed a number of these trees in the North, East and South Bufferyards at a range of 3 - 3 1/2” caliper. In order to meet the revised mitigation requirements and not remove any trees that have already been installed, the Village is requiring that the remainder of the trees to be installed on site be 4” caliper trees and a fee in lieu of $1000 be provided for the tree mitigation account.
5) Five (5) of the proposed trees on the Landscape Plan, provided by Norris Design dated 9/17/13, are within the 40’ underground pipeline easement. These five trees can be relocated on site outside of the easement.
