Iris,
I have reviewed the latest landscape plan as well as the tree
preservation plan for the W.A.T. E. Enterprises project. The landscape plan
is acceptable. The species chosen are hardy, have few insect and disease
problems and should be relatively maintenance -free. I will be talking to
Heins Nursery this week regarding the species selection for the revised
green space area between two of the front buildings, and I anticipate no
problems with the plants chosen for that area.
Regarding the tree preservation plan, I would like to have the
construction limits staked and meet on site with the land surveyor and the
property owner to determine if any changes could be made to the development
plan in order to save several large bur oak in the northwest corner of the
property.
These trees are the largest bur oak I have seen in oak Park Heights. They
are in fairly good condition and should be retained if possible. Saving
these trees would, at the very least, reduce the tree replacement required
for the development.
