Paschke <br />Roseville City Planner <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />Roseville, MN 55113-1899 <br />Subject: Landscape Letter of Credit <br />Dear Mr. Paschke: <br />• <br />Tel: 65]-266-8000 <br />Fax:651-266-8039 <br />e-maii: julie.kleinschtnidt@co.ramsey.mn.us <br />As a provision of the Planned Unit Development (PUD, Section 9.8) approval process for the <br />Ramsey County Library in Roseville, the City requires the County, as Developer, to furnish a <br />Landscape Letter of Credit. To meet this requirement, in lieu of a bond or other financial <br />security, the County offers this letter committing us to the success of the landscape on the <br />project. <br />Within the construction contract, we have purchased extended warranties on the planting <br />materials for two full years. Although some material has been placed this fall, the warranty will <br />not begin until all planting work is complete next spring. In addition, because the native prairie <br />plantings can take more than two seasons to establish, we have purchased a three-year <br />maintenance and planting agreement for the newly-seeded prairie areas. In addition to these <br />warranties, the County employs staff to maintain our Library properties so that ongoing site <br />maintenance of other hardscape, including fencing and irrigation systems, will also be a priority <br />and funded though the operations budgets. <br />We hope these measures show Ramsey County's commitment to the projecYs landscaping. As <br />owner/users of the facility, we can be counted upon to install and maintain our newly- <br />landscaped property beyond the two years required in the PUD. We hope the commitment <br />outfined in this letter meets the intent of the PUD requirement. Please contact us with any <br />questions. <br />Regards, <br />�z�,e�;� ,�'�- <br />Julie Kleinschmidt <br />Ramsey County Manager <br />cam <br />cc: Jolly Mangine, Ramsey County Director of Property Management <br />Excellence • Respect • Diversity <br />}'nnlyd on rP�qclNd pn�rr tuih a mimmum ol IOk ��ust�cons.mxr coNrw <br />� <br />
