Widin" <kwidin @mmmpcc.org> To: <planners @ nacplanning.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 17, Zoo 1 1:51 PM 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. Kathy Widin Municipal Arborist City of Oak Park Heights P• 1 Of 7 1/17/2001
