<br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION <br /> November 15, 2004 5 <br />. 1. Do not choose additional landscaping work beyond the scope proposed by Ramsey <br /> County; <br /> 2. Consider additional landscaping improvements at select locations: <br /> . Intersection Areas-Hamline, Lexington, Snelling and Keithson; <br /> . Incorporate Arden Hills entry monuments signs into the contract; <br /> 3. Consider additional landscaping more uniformly throughout the entire corridor. <br /> Ramsey County's approach to landscaping is to provide trees along the boulevard and in the <br /> median where safety clear zones allow. If the City chooses to have additional landscaping work <br /> done on the Highway 96 corridor, the City would be responsible for this cost. <br /> Ramsey County Engineer Jim Tolaas stated that the County will assist the City with the <br /> purchasing of trees, but will not assist with shrubs, prairie grasses, or flowers. The City would <br /> be responsible for the purchase cost and maintenance of the trees and plants along Highway 96. <br /> Councilmember Larson said that the City should invest some money for landscaping materials <br /> along Highway 96. It is important to purchase plants that are water tolerant and hearty. <br /> Councilmember Rem suggested that native plants and grasses be planted in the median. <br /> Mayor Aplikowski stated that she does not want the boulevard area to look like weeds. <br />. Councilmember Larson asked the City Engineer how much money other communities have spent <br /> on landscaping materials? <br /> City Engineer Brown stated that the City of Shoreview spent approximately $500,000 on <br /> landscaping materials. <br /> Mr. Tolaas noted that trees are not that expensive. The most expensive part of landscaping is the <br /> materials, design, and maintenance of the plant materials. <br /> City Administrator Wolfe stated that the City should consider plants that have minimal <br /> maintenance cost. <br /> Mr. Tolaas stated that Ramsey County is scheduled to plant 220-240 trees along the Highway 96 <br /> boulevard and median areas. <br /> City Administrator Wolfe suggested that the City budget $100,000 for landscaping materials in <br /> 2005. <br /> Councilmember Larson stated that the City should plant the trees along Highway 96 and then <br /> come back with a landscaping plan and projected cost estimate for landscaping materials. <br />. County Engineer Tolaas noted that the County could hold thc project open until 2006. <br /> City Administrator Wolfe suggested that the City consider a two phase landscaping project. <br />
