Environmental <br />Memo <br />To: Katie Larsen <br />From: Marty Asleson <br />Date: April 1, 2014 <br />Re: Environmental Board Recommendations for Century Farms North <br />The following recommendations were made by the Lino Lakes Environmental Board <br />on March 26, 2014 concerning Century Farms North: <br />Late in 2012 the Environmental Board reviewed this plan and determined that <br />the boulevard trees would consist of alternating American Linden and Swamp <br />White Oak. This is still part of the plan. The Environmental Board also stated <br />that under no circumstances would any species of Green Ash be allowed in <br />the plant pallet. <br />Staff recommends the developer plant and guarantee for 1 growing season <br />the required boulevard trees according to the submitted Landscape Plan. <br />Staff also recommends that additional trees not be installed if there is conflict <br />with underground utilities. It is recommended that the decision to not allow <br />additional trees on any one site will be at the discretion of City Staff. A <br />determination for the suitability of additional trees shall be made when the <br />new tree locations are staked out for Gopher state one calls. The City shall <br />maintain the right to reject any trees brought to the site for planting on City <br />boulevards based on City horticultural standards. <br />• Staff recommends additional landscape plantings on outlots and boulevards <br />be installed by the developer, and not adjacent property owners. <br />0 Page 1 <br />
