Environmental <br />To: Michael Grochala <br />From: Marty Asleson <br />Date: January 23, 2004 <br />Re: Environmental Board Recommendations/January 21, 2004 <br />The Environmental Board made the following recommendations at the January 21, <br />2004 Environmental Board meeting: <br />• Landscaping: <br />• All tree - planting areas should have planting holes prepared as per illustration. <br />All planting areas where soil compaction is necessary because of buildings and <br />pavement should use CU structural soils or some other method to allow for <br />suitable root growth). It would be better to plant smaller trees in CU soils than <br />larger trees in compacted soils. <br />• Species selection should combine appropriate native/indigenous species that <br />complement the native landscape and architectural features. Suggest some <br />flexibility in street tree planting specifications in order to add .possible traffic <br />calming features (species and spacing) to the landscape. All trees should be <br />zone 4 species. Desirable species for Legacy: <br />• Oaks ( Red, Northern pin, White, Burr and Swamp white) <br />
