Variance Code requires a 5 foot perimeter landscape buffer, consisting

of 1 tree every 40 linear feet with a continuous row of hedges (420 hedges required).

Applicant proposes to plant 126 shrubs within the perimeter buffer & to plant the remaining 294 required shrubs on the southwestern side of the proposed garage.

Applicant states that the perimeter landscape area provided is too close to the proposed large scale landscaping along the western façade of the building and therefore is requesting to move the shrubbery.
