OPH Staff -
I have reviewed the preliminary landscape plan for the Denny Hecker Cadillac facility and it is the same
plan as I reviewed 5/30/07. My comments regarding the plan are the same as in that email report. I will
attach a copy of the report to approved Planting Detail language and drop it off at City Hall for the meeting
tomorrow. Please provide the developer with a copy of my report and the planting detail language. I will
not be able to attend the site review meeting with applicants, since I will be out -of -town 6127 -29. If you
have any questions regarding my review of this landscape plan, please contact one via email today or call any
cell phone tomorrow at 651-338-3651.

Landscape Plan Review - 5/3 0/07
OPH Staff -
I have reviewed the proposed landscape plan for the Denny Hecker Cadillac /Pontiac /GMC facility and have
the following comments:
1. The landscape plan is minimal but is acceptable for the type of site /facility.
2. The plant species used are acceptable; however, more species of shade trees need to be added to the site
perimeter.
Having only one species (honeylocust), comprising over 76% of the trees on site, makes the landscape
susceptible to failure due to insect or disease problems. The plan will not be approved without more shade
tree diversity.
3. All perimeter shade trees must be planted on private property (as indicated on the plan).
4. The Planting Detail is not acceptable. Any wire baskets on BBB stock must have the top rungs removed,
twine and burlap must be removed from the plant stem and top of root ball before filling in the planting
hole. An acceptable form of Planting Detail has been included with a copy of this review for the developer.
All planting stock will be inspected after planting and any not planted according to the approved Planting
Detail will have to be re-done.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this review.
