HAR MAR MALL. ■ ENTERPRISE May 25, 1989 Roseville Roseville Attn : Pat 2660 Civic Roseville, Dear Pat: City Planning City Hall Johnson Center Drive MN 55113 Commission I am replying to a letter dated May 18 from Donna Hofineister that was sent to you concerning two issues about Har-Mar Mall. Mrs. Hofineister states that it has been one and one- half years since the completion of the mall addition. In fact, it has only been 7 months. Concerning the buffer zone, back in September 1987 almost 2 years ago, the mall embarked on a buffer zone re- planting project on the east side, with the removal of the overgrown trees and bushes. Approximately 100, 6 foot tall arborvitae trees were planted. The following spring, there were many that did not make it through the winter, so our landscape company replaced them. Again, many died last sum- mer due to the severe drought. We have already talked to the landscaper about a third replacement of those trees this year. Last spring, the landscaper did a complete walk-through of the rest of the buffer zone, and tagged each tree and bush that should be replaced. Before we could meet with the neigh- bors, the drought came upon us and it was decided to hold off on this major replanting effort. This spring, we nave been carefully watching the amount of moisture in the soil, and now the landscaper feels that we can proceed with the plans for the removal and replanting project that we wanted to do last year. I have kept Gordy Beseth of the City of Roseville fully informed on our schedule, so that tie would know our plans in case anyone from the neighborhood would call. We just finished redoing the three foot strip inside the fence line in which the landscape company raked out the old dead brush, stones, etc., added dirt to bring it up to curb level, 2100 NORTH SNELLING AVENUE, SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55113 (612) 631-0340
