interoffice <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> to: Rick Jopke, Community Develo ent <br /> from: 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(IH)with the variety"Shademaster."This variety <br /> seems to do better climate-wise and appears to do better with respect to Nectria canker <br /> fungus. <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:\WP\FR98\LNDSPRV W.WPD <br />
