Widin [kdwidin a@comcast. net] Wednesday, January 02, 2008 8:50 AM Eric Johnson; mvierling a©eckberglammers.com; dpostler©bonestroo.com; Scott Richards; Jimmy Butler; Judy Hoist; Julie Hultman; Tom Ozzello Oakgreen Village Phase 2 - Landscape Plan 1 have reviewed the landscape plan submitted for Oakgreen Village Phase 2 (as well as original plans submitted) and have confirmed the presence of trees on the west side near the pond. I have the following observations and comments: 1. The number of trees proposed for the area under consideration is similar to the number proposed for that area in the original landscape plan. I suggest adding several thornless cockspur hawthorn or crabapple for some diversity and spring color. 2. The tree species proposed are acceptable; however, I would suggest more species diversity in both evergreen and deciduous trees, e.g. substitute a few red pine for several of the white pine and Norway spruce, and substitute several hackberry or Am. linden for a few maple. 3. Are any foundation plantings planned for the residential units? 4. The Planting Detail is acceptable and should be adhered to. 5. Tree protection fencing should be up along the east side of the trees to be preserved by the pond before any construction begins on the site. If you have any questions regarding this inspection or report, please contact me. Kathy Widin Arborist City of Oak Park Heights 1
