which is around 14% lot coverage.

planted on each lot (see ECDC 23.90.040.C for details).

Questions & Comments
Review access options with the Engineering Division (especially related to the area of driveway encroaching
onto the pipe stem of the rear lot. Vehicular access easement area must be deducted from the total lot area
of the rear lot. This will need to be shown on the plans.
Please review ECDC 23.90.040.C for guidance on the 30% native vegetation requirement.
