OPH Staff -
I have viewed the existing site and reviewed the landscape plan for the proposed project by the Lynskey Clark
Companies at 5595 Memorial Ave. in Oak Park Heights and have the following comments:
1. The landscape plan is simple but will complement the site, building and function of the proposed development.
2. The plant material shown in the Planting Schedule is acceptable with the exception of Japanese barberry. This shrub
is proving to be invasive in natural woodland areas and should be replaced with a different shrub.
3. The Tree Planting Detail shown on the plan is acceptable and should be adhered to by the landscape installer. The
landscaping will be inspected after planting, and, if the detail is not adhered to, the City will require the planting to be
re -done per the approved planting detail.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this inspection, plan review or report. Please forward my
comments to the developer.
