The new portion of the fence was installed in August, 2001. Staff issued a stop work order for the <br />new fence along Orono Orchard Road and Dickenson Street. The builder contacted Staff shortly <br />after the order and requested to finish the final few posts since nearly the entire fence had been <br />constructed. <br />Landscaping: Along the Orono Orchard Road and Dickenson Street property lines a vegetative <br />buffer has been installed by the property owTier. The new trees range in height from 13 ’ to 16'. The <br />landscaping has consisted of planting a dense row arborvitae trees. The trees are planted leaving no <br />view of the property from the street. The fence has been installed betw een the trees and the house. <br />The row of arborvitae trees has eliminated view of the fence along the property lines. <br />Along the driveway off Orono Orchard road 9 pin oak trees with a trunk size of 6*’ to 7" have been <br />planted. The full plan includes the following new trees (many have been installed); <br />81 arborvitae trees 13' to 16' in height <br />9 pin oak 6" to 7" in diameter <br />8 spruce trees 20' in height <br />(additional arborvitae to be planted on northwest side <br />of property • number and location has not been <br />determined) <br />Pree.xisting trees include 8 mature maple trees between the road and newly planted arborvitae.
