This section is included in your selections.

(1) All Streetscape improvements shall fit within the area reserved for a standard 20-foot Front Yard setback and the public Right-of-way. In the event that a full 30-foot width is not available within the prescribed area, City staff may adjust the Landscaping standards as necessary to meet the intent of this Section.

(2) An undulating, landscaped berm, a minimum of two to three feet high and 15 feet wide, shall be located adjacent to the back of curb.

(3) Street trees shall be planted from 20 to 50 feet apart, not to exceed an overall average spacing of 30 feet. Except for ornamental entryway trees, street tree selection and all other minimum Landscaping requirements shall be consistent with Section 7-10-103. Specific tree varieties shall be placed on both sides of every curb cut as ornamental entryway trees as specified below:

a. Thundercloud Plum trees along 3300/3500 South;

b. ‘Kwanzan’ Pink Flowering Cherry trees along Redwood Road; and

c. Eastern Redbud ‘Forest Pansy’ trees along 5600 West.

(4) A Nonmotorized Public Easement shall be granted to West Valley City. The width of the easement shall be 10 feet along 3300/3500 South and Redwood Road and six feet along 5600 West. This easement shall generally be located 15 feet from the back of curb and shall run the entire length of the Frontage along the Street. A concrete trail shall be located within the public easement along the Street. The width of the trail shall be 10 feet along 3300/3500 South and Redwood Road and six feet along 5600 West. (See Figures 1, 2 and 3.) The City reserves the right to require lane striping to separate pedestrian and bicycle areas. If at any point the trail crosses a driveway or similar Use, the concrete within the driveway shall be stamped and colored to warn both pedestrians and motor vehicle users. A concrete pathway, at least five feet wide and meeting all ADA standards, shall link the urban trail with any transit stops located along the Street. In areas where the urban trail does not align with existing Sidewalks on adjacent sites, a transition area shall be established and improved, with the purpose of providing for public safety and convenience. The urban trail may, at the discretion of City staff, be temporarily shifted to avoid pre-existing, immovable objects. However, if the trail is moved toward the site, the required landscaped buffer must still be provided. Immovable objects shall include manholes, power poles, and other objects whose location is beyond the control of the property Owner.
