Staff Report to the Planning Commission Lands of Dubey 26475 Ascension Drive October 19,2006 Page 3 of 8 On the other side of the property, a 16' wide public utility, storm drain and sanitary sewer easement runs the entire length of the north property line boundary and no new plantings are allowed within the easement. To mitigate the view of the new residence from the adjacent neighbor to the north (bands of Hahn, 26491 Ascension Drive), the applicant is proposing to install eight (8) 24" box maple and birch trees on the north side of the house and in a planting area by the front entrance. The view of the new residence is substantially screened by an existing oleander hedge along Ascension Drive. To supplement the existing landscaping on the property, the applicant is proposing to install a number of trees and shrubs including a total of twenty- one (21) 24" and 36" box maple, birch, and pear trees that will help further break up the view of the house from off-site. The new trees are required to be installed prior to final inspection of the new residence. (Condition#2) �•rr. t ' 9 � +fir... _.. _. ..__'..... ,..., Jam- ...... , Yi . 12 12.
