Subject: Scott Richards - Wal -Mart Landscape Plan
Scott -
I have reviewed the proposed landscape plan and made a site visit
to view the existing landscaping at the Wal -Mart facility in Oak Park
Heights. In order to screen the outdoor sales and storage area from
residents of the Boutwell's Landing development, additional trees will need
to be planted. Though there will be no living units directly across 58th
St. from the facility, the residents of townhomes on the west side of
Boutwell's Landing, as well as in the high -rise further to the east, will
both be able to view the outdoor sales and storage area. The
recommendations for additional landscaping are as follows:
1. The plantings of evergreens proposed for the west berm should be
extended all the way to the west end of the plantings on the south berm t
g to
close up the southwest corner of the planting and screen the area from the
residents on the west side of Boutwellts Landing.
2. To screen the outdoor sales and storage area from residents in the high
rise will re uire additional - g
q evergreens to the south of the existing
plantings on the south berm wherever there are gaps or thin areas in the
current planting. Though the landscape plan identifies the existing
evergreens as spruce, except for a few spruce on the west end, all the
other evergreens are pines. 1 would recommend that the additional
evergreens be a mixture of 'Black Hills' spruce (Picea glauca densata) and
red pine (Pinus resinosa). To adequately screen the outdoor area, the
additional evergreens will need to be added not only south of the
y
proposed facility but all the way across the south expanse of the current
building, since the high rise is well to the east and residents would be
viewing the outdoor area from an angle. To cover gaps in the existing
�. p g
planting and also make the line of trees thicker, 1 estimate that it will
require an additional 20 to 25 evergreens. It will be difficult to
entirely screen the view, since the high -rise will be several stories high
g
and the trees will not grow tall enough to screen it entirely.
y
I will prepare a revised plan showing the proposed locations of
additional evergreen plantings. I will give you the p lan at the OPH Staff
meeting on Wed. 1/17.
