333 Mr. Steve Boggs Midland Hills Country Club 2001 Fulham Street Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Screening and Landscaping at Midland Hills Country Club. Dear Gentlemen: Over the past few weeks I have completed inspections on the landscaping and screening conditions approved by the Roseville City Council on March 27,2000. These inspections are necessary to insure that all requirements and items such as fencing and landscaping meet the purpose and intent of the approved project. The first item that requires resolution is landscaping. I have viewed a number of trees and shrubs that are either dead or dying. Most notable are those coniferous trees used as a buffer between the parking lot/club house and thc adjacent residential property. These trees are located on the east berm and must be replaced by the end of October, and should be covered by your landscape guarantee. The second item that requires resolution is the screen fence. The fence was required to screen the adjacent residential properties from the parking lot and to provide a visual buffer from the clubhouse. Its purpose was to minimize noise and light from the parking lot and the access points into the clubhouse. I have inspected the fence and its installed location and concluded that a modification is necessary. The fence length measures to within two/three feet of the plan length. However, it appears through visual inspections, that the fence angle does not correctly angle to properly screen the home located at 1961 Midland Hills Road. I have reviewed that situation on a number of occasions as well as taken photos in an attempt to indicate this inadequacy. The first photo is taken from the eastern most edge of the fence as it abuts the existing wooded area. The view is towards the clubhouse and it shows the open area between the existing large coniferous trees (leftO and the berm landscaping (right).
