interoffice <br />M E M O R A N D U M <br />to: <br />from: <br />Rick Jopke, Community Develo. $ ent <br />Rick Wriskey, Forester <br />subject: Landscape Plan Review - Anthony Properties Management, Inc. <br />date: March 31, 1998 <br />I have reviewed the landscape plan proposal for the "O'Neil" property north of County Road H2 and <br />west of Highway 10. The following are some recommendations and comments. <br />1. The 302 Taunton yews (TY) planned around buildings in the development could present a <br />potential hazard based on the toxic effects of any resulting fruit (berries). These plants could <br />be an even greater risk where there might be children. I would propose as substitution any <br />of three varieties of junipers (Sea Green, Mint Juleps, Savin) where there is some sun and <br />more of the compact vibrurnum (DV) where shade is a factor. <br />2. Consider moving the 22 Black Hills Spruce (BH) farther northeast off the parking lot to <br />allow for snow storage and salt residue. <br />3. Local results seem to favor Dwarf Korean Lilac over Miss Kim Lilac (MKL) for both growth <br />and fragrance. <br />4. Substitute the 11 Patmore Ash on the northwest side of the project with common hackberry <br />(CH) or swamp white oak (SWO). <br />5. Consider substituting Imperial honeylocust (111) with the variety "Shademaster." This variety <br />seems to do better climate -wise and appears to do better with respect to Nectria canker <br />fiingus. <br />6. There will be some sparse areas in the natural oak screen to the south. With oak wilt history <br />in two spots in this screen, it wouldn't be wise to plant more oaks of any kind here. However, <br />the addition of about 20 hackberry (CH) placed in these openings would help this buffer in <br />future years. <br />G :1WP\FR981LNDSPRVW.WPD <br />
