�� Page Two The Control Data buitding has good sod, some 14 evergreens welJ estab- lished and was mowed at the time of my last inspection. The redwood fence at the west end of the buiiding, screaning the parking tot, needs repair and would be much isnproved o� appearance with regutar sta(n protection. The area with 16 trees of a mi�imum diameter of !#" and conforms to the landscape plan approved w(th the Toni Company bultding. The water drainage area in the ce�ter of this green area has nofi been sodded as of this date. This should be done and the parktng area would conform to the viliage requtrements. • At the Toni Company building, soui•hwest corner of Grey Fox Road and Duniap, landscapfng fs now in progi-ess; approximately 20� of the sod has been laid from the front property tine and founda#ioo planting is i�; sodd)ng and pianting some seven trees along the water dralnege easement has not been done to date. Landscaping at the Environmental Research building has Been completed and is acceptable wfth the exception of the area abutting the water drainage easemen�t where sodding and tree pia�fiing wfli be in conjunctton with the Toni Company sodding. At the Northwssfiern [iel! 7elephone Company landscaping is completed according to plan and is acceptod, but the mai�tenance of the sodded area is very poor; much edild clover in the grass gives a very rough shaggy appearance with a s�-artling tange in tfie color; a regular program of lawn care is necessary in the entfre Park. Alo�g the easf side of Dunlap Street, in the area occupied by the four ortginal warehouses, the general condition ts good; 95� of the found- ation planting and lawn trees are in excellent condition, vigorous new growth showing and -the size of the piants and trae5 is now such tha-t they are in scafe wtth the bulk ot the buildings. The sodded areas at the ttme of my initiai inspectton were i� terrible condition, much clover and dandelion stems and heads show)ng and area along 6rey Fox Road littared w3th tunch bags and papers. Tenants are at present mowing the sodded areas along Dunlap and Grey Fox Road and the appear- ance is much improved, but the entire lawn should be top dressed.and fertilized and then c�i�en care o� a regular basis. The tap sail is eroding from large areas and wi{1 soon be substandard. The boulevard trees are weii estabiished and growtng but would benefifi from `eeding. Tha boulevard areas at the mosf northeriy bui�ding, occupied by P4arquette Corporafifon, was being top dressed and seeded at the tims o4 my last inspection, and hopefully this procedure will be carried through the e�tire area. Assuming that the landscaping now in progress at the southwest corner of Dunlao and G�ey Fox Road includes fihe planting of the trees required by sita pians submiti-ed and approved, and that the lawn maintenance now befng done be continued on a regutar basis, the completion of scre�n • plani-Ing at the Soo line spur, repair of the parking !ot fence and com- pletion of ornamsnta! planting at the tence area would fn my opinion constitue adequate landscaping in the lndustrisl Park.
