I would also like to thank others <br />members of the Southwind Homeowners Association & Jane Larson for attending the site <br />inspection meeting. <br /> <br />Our review covered compliance with the approved landscape plan and with the approved grading <br />plan. A number of dead or dying trees were noted and some poorly established ground cover <br />areas identified. It appeared from my review that both the developer and the Homeowners <br />Association could have taken greater care in dealing with the landscaping and ground cover. <br /> <br />After viewing the situation, reviewing outstanding issues, and considering the parties' claimed <br />justification or responsibility, I have concluded the following steps should be taken: <br /> <br />The Developer Shall: <br /> <br />~ Replace all dead and dying maple and spruce trees. Maple trees shall be a minimum of 2- <br />112-caliper inch and spruce trees shall be six to eigl1t feet in ~eight. <br /> <br />~ Install one sugar maple tree 2-112 caliper inch (consistent with existing boulevard trees) <br />adjacent to the driveway (east) at 187 Burke A venue; install one flowering crab tree <br />adjacent to the driveway (west) at 178 County Road B; install two six to eight foot tall <br />spruce trees in the rear yard of 178 County Road B, 2112, 2150 and 2154 Albemarle <br />Court; install one six to eight foot tall spruce tree in the rear yard lying between 2099 and <br />2103 Albemarle Court; and install one six to eight foot tall spruce tree between the unit at <br />2121 Albemarle Court and the trail. <br /> <br />2660 Civic Center Drive + RoseviIle + Minnesota + 55113 <br />651-490-2200 + TDD 651-490-2207 <br />
