Identify the planting materials in "landscape area typical". The revised landscape plan is subject to staff review and approval.
7) Installing all landscaping as identified on the revised landscape plan within six months of the issuance of an occupancy permit for this project, or posting a bond with the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works to guarantee such installation.
