J <br />MEMO TO: MICHELLE HREN, CLIP PLANNER <br />FROM: RICK WRISKEY, CITY FORESTER <br />DATE: AUGUST 4, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: COMMENTS ON LANDSCAPING PLAN - <br />RAMSEY COUNTY LIBRARY <br />In general, I think that this plan looks pretty good. I would, however, suggest <br />consideration of the following: <br />1. Substituting Redmond linden or Norway maple for the Summit ash in the <br />northernmost (non -parking lot) area (six trees). Pm seeing more and more <br />disease and insect problems with green ash varieties. <br />2. Moving back the spruce located at the comer (low berm) of the intersection to <br />allow for better visibility. The same should be considered for the spruce/pine <br />combination east of the parking lot entrance near the sidewalk. <br />3. The use of fleeceflower should be considered only if adequate time can be given <br />to their demanding cultivating and upkeep. I also wish the shrub beds were <br />specified out so I knew what went where, but I trust the landscape architect <br />took into consideration site exposures, snow storage and compaction, etc. <br />Please call me if you have any further questions. <br />RF%'/SLL <br />M <br />4:,J <br />
