MN 55356 <br />RE: Review of Revised (7/21/99) Pianting Plan for R. Luzaich Residence <br />2490 Old Beach Road, Orono, MN <br />Application #2492 <br />Dear Mr. Weinberger: <br />I have had a chance to review the revised planting plan for the R. Luzaich residence at 2490 <br />Old Beach Road. They made the modifications that i requested in my letter to Mr Mueller of <br />July 13. 1999. <br />With these modifications they propose to plant 24 canopy trees in addition to many shrubs and <br />small trees. The average spacing of the canopy trees still a little tight. On average the trees <br />are proposed to be planted 18 7 ft on center. Using the seme analysis that I have used <br />previously the proposed planting plan will restore approximately 63% of the estimated existing <br />canopy cover in the 25 year restoration period. <br />I am prepared to recommend adoption of this plan with only slight reservations. By increasing <br />the space between proposed trees they could increase the canopy cover to over 90% and I <br />would have no reservations whatsoever. <br />I hope this is of help. Unfortunately, I am out of the office for the next three days and won’t be <br />ableip answer any further questions. <br />incerwy <br />Peter J. B^ker.
