:i"' I ;J ( ,~ J .' I.: '- .-- / . MEMORANDUM --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: November 4, 1987 To: Arden Hills Council From: Ervin A. Oelke, Landscape Inspector Re: Initial Landscape Inspection - Northpark Business Center, Building C, 1285 Grey Fox Road --------------------------------------------------------------------------- An initial inspection of the landscape materials was made on September 26, at the Northpark Business Center, Building C, 1285 Grey Fox Road. A number of the landscape plantings were dead or missing and several changes were made; some because of the changes made in the design of the building. The dead or missing plant materials are shown in red on the landscape plan. The changes are shown on the over-lays attached to the landscape plan. . On the southern berm, one Norway Maple and one Linden tree were dead, and one Sugar Maple tree was missing. Two Norway Pine were also dead. Three Redtwig Dogwood were missing. On the south side of the building, seven Norway Pine trees were dead and one Marshall Ash tree was missing, where the exit to the newly attached Drive-In Claims Center is located. On the western berm, one Norway Pine tree is dead. Some changes were made on the northwest corner of the building because of the change in building design. A Drive-In Claims Center was added and the roof on the corner was squared. This resulted in 10 additional plantings that were not on the original plan. The corner looks attractive with it's new landscape plan, Also, changes were made on the north side of the building. In place of two Sugar Maple tress and four Norway Pine trees, four Green Ash clumps were planted. The Green Ash clumps should be good substitutes. Their location is shown on the landscape plan. The plantings on the corner were changed to conform to changes in the building. The number of plantings, however, remained the same, One Potent ilIa, one Red Leaf Barberry and one Yew were dead on the north side of the building. . I recommend acceptance of the landscape plan after replacing the dead and missing plant material. The only plant materials that need not be replaced . are the Marshall Ash tree on the southwest corner, since it would interfere with the Drive-In Claims, and the two Sugar Maple and four Norway Pine trees on the north side of the building that were substituted with the Green Ash clumps. ---------
