L <br />Mr. Weinberger-June 16,1999 <br />Pages <br />5. The above spacing should be staggered somewhat to provide for a more natural look. <br />6. At the top of the slope and towards both sides, larger 4.0 to 4.5 inch caliper trees should be planted. <br />These trees by established standards should have an average height of 16 to 18 feet and 18 feet and <br />greater, respectively (ANSI Z60.1-1990). These trees should provide sufficient to begin to soften and <br />obscure the roof line of the Lusaich residence from the lake as soon as they are planted. The peak of <br />the east gable is 18 feet above grade and the peak of the gable end in the center of the house is 26 <br />feet above grade. <br />7. Existing stumps and root systems should be left in place. They will continue to stabilize the slope and <br />prevent erosion. Any engineered solution would replace the natural character of the site. The <br />exception to this are three stumps located in the center of the house at the top of the slope, these may <br />be removed with a minimum of concern. <br />8. Planting within the slope should be done by hand with a minimum of soil disturbance. <br />The above parameters should provide sufficient guidance for developing a landscape restoration plan for <br />the Luzaich residence. Unfortunately, it will still take time for the landscape to recover. <br />Please call me if you have any questions, or if I may be of further assistance. <br />Consulting Community Forester
