Steve: Here is are the revisions to St. Jude's landscape plan relative to the screening from Cobblestone. They are also willing to provide an allowance for the cost of two trees to be planted in Cobblestone for the three lots impacted by the development, although I think they want to hold that option as an offer if objections arise. You should put together a supplemental report to address this pursuant to the PC's comments.

Based on our meeting today and the revised plan that we presented we are sending you the revised concept sketches for review with others at the City. The issues addressed in the revised plan include: Additional coniferous plantings along the south property line of the project to provide more continuous screening of the project. The species will be a variety of Scotch Pine, Colorado Green Spruce, Black Hills Spruce, and Arborvitae to ensure the health of the plantings and to provide some visual interest * The plantings will occur as close as is possible to the existing tree line to maximize the screening effect * The plantings will occur as part of the Phase I work to allow as least 5 years of growth to occur prior to the Phase II construction. * Some deciduous trees are proposed to provide additional overstory screening and help blend the stands of coniferous trees into the landscape * The size of the trees will be as large is practical and within good design practices to enhance the screening effect We would appreciate any feedback regarding the proposed design as soon as possible to allow us to re- submit the landscape plan prior to the City Council Meeting next week. If possible, we would prefer to resolve the landscape screening issue this week with the re- submittal of the landscape plan to be included in the final documents for the PUD application. Once we hear back from you we will submit the revised plan for inclusion in the PUD. 1
