1 <br />I V . 1NdMMINI <br />Northwestern Col I ege occupies a site rich In indigenous vegetation. <br />Although future development, shown on Exhibit A, Amended PUD Plan, <br />necessitates the removal of some plant materials, the intent Is to <br />save as much existing vegetation as is practical. In certain areas, <br />It w it I be necessary or desirable to establ ish plantings to replace, <br />removed vegetation and to establish visual <br />continuity within the <br />revised campus layout. A majority of the plant materials proposed are <br />native to the campus area, thus providing a vegetative tie to the <br />surrounding landscape. <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 />pl aced, the v isual impact w I I I be reduced to off -site residences. <br />Shade tolerant evergreen species are proposed to be planted among <br />ex sti ng trees to the northwest of the future L ife and Health Fitness <br />Center and to the east of the future residence hall and tennis courts. <br />The use of evergreen pl ant 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 />Planting will be implemented In stages coincidental ly with each <br />development phase as indicated on the planting plan. See Exhibit [` <br />for the proposed planting scheme. <br />1 <br />0 <br />1 <br />I <br />�7 <br />11 <br />1 -10- 8621 <br />
