The following includes my comments and/or recommendations: Landscape Plan(L2.1) The overall design of the plan Is attractive and will complement the building well. The plan includes an acceptable species selection of deciduous trees, coniferous trees, ornamental trees, shrubs and perennial plants to be Installed ((860) total). All plants included in the plan are hardy under local growing conditions, tolerant or resistant to major insect and disease problems and fairly low maintenance. All plant sizes, root and container classes included in the plans conform to the City of Oak Park Heights zoning ordinance requirements. The locations chosen for most plants are appropriate. The only exception would be the placement of thornless honeylocust in relatively small parking lot medians on the NE/SE side of the development and in the narrow median along the N side of the development. These trees can be very large at maturity and the parking lot medians and the north median will not allow enough rooting space for these trees to grow to a healthy maturity. I recommend replacing the honeylocust in the medians with six Japanese tree lilacs which are smaller ornamental trees and also have some resistance to de-icing salts. (This has been changed by the applicant, site review meeting 815115.) Also at the meeting with the developer 8/5/15, it was recommended that shrubs and/or possibly ornamental grasses be planted along a wall facing the Memorial Avenue side of the property. TREE CITY U.S.A. • Page 118 of 156 Planting Specifications(1.2.2) The landscape notes and planting detail submitted is acceptable. Trees are not required to be staked as long as they can stand upright on their own. The landscape contractor is required to plant trees and shrubs according to the approved planting detail diagrams and landscape notes submitted with the final approved landscape plan. This will be checked after planting and any deviations from the plans must be corrected before the landscaping will be approved by the City, this needs to be noted in the final plans. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this landscape plan review. Please feel free to forward my comments to the development team for this project. • 2 TREE CITY U.S.A.
