<br />property line; this gives a clear way about 15' wide or more over the stonn sewer line . <br />(except the location of the existing hardwood trees). The stonn sewer line turns toward <br />the north, away from my property at that point toward the lake. With the existing <br />hardwood tree and three River Birch trees (60' high, 40' wide) and a dozen pine trees on <br />the property to the north, we have a lot of screening for about 100' of the northern side. <br />Any more planting there would cause overcrowding and threaten survival of the trees, in <br />my opInIOn. <br /> 3) The area between the retaining wall and Lake Johanna Blvd: <br />. Six Black Hill Spruces (three at each end). Those evergreens (40' high, 30' wide) <br /> would provide dense screening at the north and south sides from the street. <br />. On the slope: We would reduce the number of small shrubs to avoid <br /> overcrowding. <br /> - A wide strip of perennials (five or more varieties, multi-colors) at the <br /> street level. <br /> - Three types oflarger shrubs/ small trees (about 35 to 40 of them). Those <br /> are up to 10' high providing screening effect in conjunction with Boston <br /> Ivy vines on the retaining wall. They also provide erosion control in <br /> conjunction with erosion control blankets and mulch. <br />. Tall perennials in the basin below the rain water garden (5 or more varieties, <br /> multi-colors) to enhance water infiltration. <br /> 4) Shore-land area: Landscaping in this area is proposed with much interest in <br />erosion control, water infiltration, screening the street and giving a pleasant view from <br />the lake. All proposed vegetations and materials in this plan are recommended by the . <br />Rice Creek Watershed District. <br />. There is a group of existing tree remaining along the southern 113 shoreline. <br />. Proposed landscaping includes <br /> ~A wide strip of shoreline perennials (five varieties, multi-colors) closer to the <br /> water edge. <br /> -Rows of Winter Berry and Isanti Dogwood. Those trees/shrubs are 6' to 10' <br /> high, providing screening of the street and add erosion control. <br /> -Optimal use of erosion control blankets and mulch <br />. Proposed steps down for the future dock. <br />With this amended plan, we sincerely hope that its installation will provide an <br />effective long term means of erosion control, rain water run off control, sufficient <br />replacement of previous vegetation and screening from the lake and qualities <br />compatible with neighboring properties. <br />Respectfully, Q~~ <br /> Nguyet A.
