In certain areas, <br />It w I II be necessary or desl rabl e to estab I I sh pi anti ngs to repl ace <br />removed vegetation and to establish visual continuity within the <br />rev I sed campus layout. A maJor I ty of the pi ant mater I al s proposed are <br />native to the campus area, thus providing a vegetative tie to the <br />surrounding landscape. <br /> <br />It Is realized that development of this scale often has an Impact both <br />on and off the site. Through the use of plant materials strategically <br />placed, the visual Impact will be reduced to off-site residences. <br />Shade tolerant evergreen species are proposed to be pi anted among <br />existing trees to the northwest of the future Life and Health Fitness <br />Center and to the east of the future residence hal I and tennis courts. <br />The use of evergreen plant materials Increases the screening <br />effectiveness of this vegetative buffer during the winter when <br />deciduous plants are void of leaves. Deciduous species are Introduced <br />at the woods' edge to strengthen this screening effect during other <br />times of the year. <br /> <br />Planting wll I be Implemented In stages coincidentally with each <br />development phase as Indicated on the planting plan. See Exhibit D <br />for the proposed pi anti ng scheme. <br /> <br />-10- <br /> <br />8621 <br />
