Subject: Wal-Mart Stores - Landscape Plan
Kris -
I have reviewed the landscape plan for the Wal-Mart Stores, and
have the followin comments:
1. The plan is attractive and will provide its screenin function well.
Since the ash do not provide a y ear-round screen, I would su that the
be planted to the west of the berm and that additional ever be
planted on the berm.
2. The species list is fine.
3. The plantin detail looks fairl complete; however, the Cit of OPH
re that the twine be removed at plantin time. The detail specifies
that the burlap needs to be removed from the top of the root ball but that
the twine is to remain tied to the trunk for a y ear. It would be ver
difficult to remove the burlap without removin the twine. The Cit would
also like the top half of an wire basket removed from the root ball prior
to back-fillin
4. A number of the trees on the W side of the propert are bein planted
within or ver near the draina easement. The propert owner
should be aware that, accordin to OPH Cit Code, an plants which are
planted in a draina or utilit easement will need to be removed and/or
replaced b the propert owner in the event that the Cit needs to do an
work within the easement.
