Only the standards below are affected by this application. All other standards will continue to be met.
13.04 Landscaping, Screening & Street Trees
Pursuant to Section 13.04 A of the Land Development Regulations, landscaping and screening shall be

improvements to be $1,347,500. The proposed improvements under this project are estimated to cost
$64,230 and they are consistent with the elements that were previously approved. The Administrative

13.11 Fencing
Pursuant to Section 13.11 B(1) of the Land Development Regulations, all fences shall be erected within
