The following includes my comments and/or recommendations: Landscape Plan (Sheet L1) The plan includes a satisfactory selection of shade trees, evergreen trees, ornamental trees, shrubs, perennials and grasses. The design is acceptable and will complement the site well. Most plants included are of acceptable size and variety. All ornamental trees however, must be a minimum of 6-7 feet tall (potted) or 1.5 inches in diameter (B&B) to meet minimum City size requirements for ornamental trees, this must be changed in the final submitted plans. Most plants chosen are hardy under local growing conditions, tolerant or resistant to major insect and disease problems and fairly low maintenance. The crabapple trees submitted in the plans have a fair tolerance to apple scab. I would recommend substituting a crabapple variety with an excellent tolerance to apple scab such as Malus 'Prairifire' crabapple and/or Malus 'Royal Raindrops'. Landscape Notes &Details (Sheet L1) The landscaping notes and planting details included is acceptable. The landscape contractor is required to plant trees and shrubs according to the final approved planting detail submitted with the final approved landscape plan. This will be checked after planting and any deviations from the plan will need to be corrected before the landscaping will be approved by the City, this needs to be noted in the final plans. The (A.N.S.I.)American Standards for Nursery Stock Z60 should also be followed and noted in the landscaping notes. TREE CITY U.S.A. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this landscape plan review. Please forward my comments to the development team for this project. 2 TREE CITY U.S.A. °°s tl10S3NNIW'S1H013H)Rltld Nd0 ¢� J W� tri, 13S31O 301S'HSVM MVO AV8-Z/M e IIC 144 1 s tib 11d 661. 321O1S 3ON3IN3ANOO K !iglu. z1 z� 'Y NVId 3dVOSONVIs $l I H o�S o f 1 =, ,,, III g a k 4_ l' a Eg s �� 3 ,a d Y 1 �I�_ 0a� a g Y$4 i9 1 i�i 11 31 sY E 8 s-i $ € 1P1 4 ..p s B P 1 i g n gi t y8l9dli 4 a�1! e�� 9�Ei�I6g I �� °1� a � 3 �8 li �g< 3 14; . s on AVI1HJIH ;iruu. 4lvli i o ° n ° B Ii E tSY 'ViI X126 sx z 1212, gt, p J 1 J. — v3z "m -,- 1` g= sa .
