OPH Staff -
I recently inspected the installed landscaping for the AutoZone project and have the following comments:
1. All plants have been installed, including plants in the rain garden.
2. The installed landscape follows the approved landscape plan with a few changes:
6 mugho pine were added around the sign for the business
mugho pine have been substituted for the Froebel spirea in front by the frontage
road
some shrubs on the north side of the building have been moved slightly as
compared to the approved landscape plan
3. Some shade and ornamental trees are already turning color, which is a sign of stress. The site manager should be sure
that the trees are receiving enough water through the end of October.
In my opinion, this project has fulfilled its obligations regarding landscaping.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this inspection or report.
