-............- '- Mr. Aaron Parrish September 25, 2002 Page 2 . Two other items. The fence along the north boundary is not shown on this plan. For some unknown reason the fence did not print. The fence will be the same as previously proposed on the last plan ai1d will run from the west end of the arborvitae to the west end of the lot. The second item is that along the north boundary of the parking lot there will be planted perennial plants such as hostas or some other type of low maintenance plants. The more I have investigated trees the more I have learned about need to diversifY the trees. It is recornmendedthat the same trees notl3e used adjacent to each other so that you will not lose all of the trees in the event of a disease. A couple of passing thoughts. The area on the north is difficult due to the need to allow water drainage for all homes in the neighborhood, not just our development. The type of trees proposed can withstand high concentrations of water and extremely moist soils. The trees are all deciduous because the area on the north will have very moist soils and there will be a need to have some snow storage in this area. Very few coniferous trees can stand extremely moist soils. Also, the placement of snow up against coniferous trees will harm and damage the lower branches. All three of the homes have garages tat back up to the north common boundary line. Mr. McGuire's . second detached garage is at least 30+' long and blocks most of his property from our land. The other two homes also have fairly large garages and/or breeze ways. I believe that the Mr. McGuire purchased his house after the preliminary PUD had been approved. The preliminary PUD contained only a 10' setback between on the north adjacent to the parking lot. Thus, if Mr. McGuire had investigated he would have known what was proposed before he purchased the property. We feel that this is an excellent project which will be very compatible with the neighborhood. Upon completion of the project, it will be a tremendous improvement to the comer and will hopefully bring in some new businesses that will benefit and serve 0 mmunity.
