RE: Oak Park Heights — Boutwells Landing: Trash Enclosure Area
FILE NO: 798.02 — 02.05
A landscape plan has been submitted for the Boutwells Landing project at the
intersection of 58 Street and Norwich Parkway attached . The ur ypurpose of the � p p
additional landscaping is to provide a screen for the trash dumpster area adjacent to the
building. The building plan, approved as part of the General Plan, included an area
within the building for the dumpsters. After the building was constructed, the Building
Official realized that the site plan /building plans had changed such that the dumpsters
would be stored in an area outside.
As the dumpster area exists today, it is at a grade lower than 58 Street but still visible
from the roadway and sidewalk. The City requires that all dumpsters be screened. The
grade of the driveway in front of the dumpsters would not allow for a roof structure to
cover the dumpsters. For the same reason, gates would also not be practical. The
project architects have proposed landscape materials that would provide the necessary
screening from the roadway. Kathy Wilson, the City Arborist, has reviewed the plan and
has asked for further clarification on size of the materials, but finds the species and
placement acceptable.
The City Council should review the plan and comment on this minor site plan change.
With council approval, Boutwells will complete the landscaping this Spring.

Boutwell's Landing - Proposed Additional Landscaping
I have reviewed the plan for proposed additional landscaping
at Boutwell's Landing, plan dated 4/9/02, and visited the site of the
proposed landscaping. The species chosen (Black Hills Spruce) is
acceptable. The size states 15' -20' diameter (Is this diameter of
lower crown width at maturity or do they actually mean 15' -20' in
height ?). It would be important to know the actual size of the plant
material at the time of planting. The placement in regard to the
other landscaping and available planting area is acceptable.

RE: Screening the Loading Dock
DA TE: 4/16/02
Jim, now that the weather is improving we are interested in continuing our
landscaping around the building. One of our plans has been to add more pine trees
along 58 Street to screen the loading dock. I wanted to share with you our plan in
this regard and ask for your approval of this aspect of the plan. Let me know if this
looks OK to you. THANKS!!
