7 <br /> <br />Vegetative screening will utilize existing vegetation found on site where possible, with the <br />addition of 1 tree species and 1 shrub species, Balsam fir, Abies balsamea and Red osier <br />dogwood, Cornus sericea to complete the screening. <br />While the Balsam fir is on the edge of its native range at this site, it is a moist-soil tolerant <br />species that meets the site requirement of year-round view shed screening. Red Osier <br />Dogwood is well suited to the moist conditions found on this site and should thrive here. <br />The Balsam fir will be installed as 6’ tall B&B and the Red Osier Dogwood will be 4’ tall potted <br />plants, all planted in rows with 16’ spacing on center. On the East and West sides of the site, a <br />single row of Red Osier Dogwood will be planted, except where existing vegetation will remain <br />as screening. On the North and South Sides, 2 rows will be planted in a staggered pattern, <br />with one row being Balsam Fir and the other Red Osier Dogwood, with the exception of the <br />wetland areas, where both rows will be Red Osier Dogwood as shown in Figure C, below. <br />Any gap in new trees and shrubs, such as shown below in the lower left corner, indicates <br />existing trees and screening will be preserved. The south side tree line will follow the wetland <br />boundary, shown in the image below. The wetland transition areas will include new dogwood <br />shrubs, such as what already exists on the site. <br /> <br />Fig C <br />Section of screening for Ngueyn. <br />Balsam indicated by green, dogwood by purple <br />Existing vegetation will be retained whenever possible. <br />
