Landscape Waiver - The Shops at Lone Oak

Waiver from LDC section 10.1.4 to not preserve 20% of existing tree canopy approved for a 2.5-acre site along Outer Loop east of I-65. The applicant (Drake's restaurant, 8,000 sq ft) failed to preserve required tree canopy during construction, preserving only 12.4% instead of required 20% of the 54% existing canopy. Mitigation plan requires planting 27 trees on-site and paying $16,000 fee in lieu ($500 per tree) for 32 trees that cannot be accommodated on-site.

• 27 trees must be planted within 6 months of landscape plan approval; $16,000 fee in lieu must be paid before landscape plan approval; enforcement officers will conduct follow-up site visits until compliance achieved
