Oelke, Landscape Inspector Re: Initial Landscape Inspection - Shannon Square, Lexington Avenue --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The initial landscape inspection at Shannon Square was made on August 29 and a fOllow-up on November 1, 1987. Generally, the landscape material was of good quality and planted according to the landscape plan, except for the Dogwood plantings on the left and right of the main entrance. On the left, there were only four Redtwig Dogwood in the grouping of ten; the other six were Yellowtwig Dogwood. The red ones are marked by the word IIred" on the landscape plan~ On the right, ten Redtwig Dogwood were planted randomly with the thirty Varigated Dogwood planned for the area. These changes were discussed with Mr. Condra of Mickman Brothers Nursery . and he will make the necessary changes in the Dogwood plantings so they will conform to the landscape plan. Dogwood plantings are more attractive if grouped according to type. On the north boundary, one of the Marshall Ash trees appeared weak and may not survive the winter~ It is circled in red on the landscape plan. The area under the seven Marshall Ash trees on the north was sodded instead of seeded. I believe this is a good change, since upon initial inspection the grass seeding was very poor. An island with seven Hughes Juniper was added around the fire hydrant on the north edge of the parking lot. The other two islands on the south edge of the parking lot also had only seven Hughes Juniper, instead of the twelve listed on the landscape plan. Seven should be sufficient for an adequate ground cover on the islands. I recommend acceptance of the landscaping after the four Dogwood groupings on the east perimeter are changed according to the plan. , .
