MEMO TO: MICHELLE HREN, CITY PLANNER <br />FROM: RICK WRISKEY, CITY FORESTER <br />DATE: OCTOBER 10, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: LANDSCAPE PLAN - HARDEES <br />The revised landscape plan for the Hardees at Mounds View Square shows most of the <br />requests and improvements talked about at the October 5, 1989 meeting. I would <br />caution, however, agzinst the use of low or spreading evergreens in the parking lot <br />islands because of snow storage and salt. Instead, just a solid mass of a red -flowering <br />spirea should be used with the respective seedless green ash in these areas. <br />If properly installed, a well -mulched and maintained parking island wouldn't need a <br />sprinkler system. Such planting beds should have a darker, fertile soil, cloth fabric on <br />the surface and ample and contained wood chip or bark mulch. No rocks of any kind <br />should be used here. <br />I estimate the cost of landscaping (plants and related materials only) to be about <br />$5,000. Sprinkler system considerations would be an additional add -on. <br />Please contact me with any questions on my above comments. <br />RW/SL <br />Attachment <br />11 <br />
