Revised Detailed Plan for Summit Village Motion to approve the revised Landscape Plan, as part of the Detailed Plan for Summit Village, signed by the owner and dated November 13, 2013, in accordance with Section 708.20(J.4) of the Marietta City Code. The purpose of these revisions is to: 1. Reduce the required tree density from 25 units per acre to 17 units per acre, as required under current regulations and as shown on the plan that has been submitted. 2. Amend the letter of stipulations dated October 27, 2005 from Terrence Lewis, President of Portico Properties to Rusty Roth, Planning & Zoning Manager of the City of Marietta, so as to change paragraph (g). Paragraph (g) originally stated “A wooden privacy fence with brick or stone pillars will be erected along the northern boundary with Turner Road and along the eastern boundary with the Hutson property.” As revised, paragraph (g) will now state: “A wooden privacy fence with brick or stone pillars will be erected along the northern boundary with Turner Road, and a wooden privacy fence will be erected along the eastern boundary with the Hutson property.” 3. A single row of evergreen trees - either Green Giant arborvitae or cryptomeria - will be planted between the wooden privacy fence and the detention pond along the eastern boundary with the Hutson property. These trees will be a minimum of eight (8) feet in height at time of planting, with the trees spaced to provide an acceptable screening buffer - every six (6) feet for Green Giant arborvitae and every eight (8) feet for cryptomeria. Either concrete or HDPE (high density polyurethane plastic) root barriers must be installed around the root balls of each tree planted near the detention pond. These root barriers must be a minimum of 30 inches deep, but depending upon the size, location and specie of tree to be planted, the Director of Public works may require the root barrier to be 36 inches to 42 inches deep. (Other methods or types of root barriers, i.e. biobarriers, may be considered at the discretion of the Director of Public Works.) 4. All other conditions of the previously approved detailed plan will remain in effect.
