City Submission - Orono Schools <br />Response Letter - 3/23/99 <br />Page 2 <br />Middle School - As budget allows, landscaping will be provided along the west drop-olT walk from <br />the southern cross walk to the northern building entrance, in the large parking island, along the west <br />edge of the parking lot and drive, and along the northern drop-off walk. <br />High School - As budget allows, landscaping will be provided along the west side of the new walks, <br />in pedestrian and parking islands, and along the north side of the event lot. Groupings of evergreens <br />may be located in the area to the northwest and west of the event lot and around the NURP pond. <br />6.Plant Palette - Additional varieties of plants will be utilized in the final landscape plan including, but <br />not limited to Red Maple, Scrviceberry, and Dogwood. <br />7.Phasing - The School District has every intention of developing the Middle School and High School <br />sites as a campus. With this, landscaping will be viewed as an important and integral part of the <br />renovation and construction projects. As previously stated, the final landscaping plan will reflect <br />more and varied plant material than shown on the CUP submission drawings. We feel that to require <br />additional or phased planting as a condition of the approval is unnecessary. <br />8.Frosion Control - Erosion Control and Storm Water Management Plans have been submitted to <br />MCWD for their review. The required 26' wide buffer along Basins 6 and 8 has been shown because <br />there is no proposed grading within the limits (only buffer landscaping to deter school maintenance <br />staff from mowing these areas). <br />9.Tree and Woodland Protection - Existing trees will be protected with snow fence at the drip line. The <br />Removals Plan and Grading Plan will also indicate limits of construction so as to eliminate any <br />possible damage to existing woodland areas. <br />We trust the above information addresses the issues at hand. If you have any other questions please do <br />not hesitate to call. <br />Respectfully, <br />ANDERSON-JOIINSONASSOCIA TES, INC. <br />Cc: Liz Van Zomeren - City of Orono <br />File
