I <br />ii <br />■ <br />To;Mayor Jabbour & City Councilmembers <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />From: <br />Date: <br />Mike Gaffron, Senior Planning Coordinator <br />September 2, 1997 <br />Subject: Orono Ice Arena Landscape Plan - Revisions Approved by Staff <br />Gary Schroeder, Operations Managci for the Ice Arena, submitted a revised tree planting plan that <br />substitutes coniferou> trees for most of tlie hardwoods originally planned for those areas generally <br />within 50' nt the building. They are getting these niatuic pine and spnice trees from the school <br />annex east of Old Crystal Bay Road, where the existing lows of trees need thinning. This will save <br />the Ice Arena approximately $19,000. <br />The coniferous trees will provide some immediate screening adjacent to the building which would <br />likely have taken 5-10 years to develop with the smaller deciduous stock initially proposed. <br />The original plan proposes approximately 12 future additional trees (honeylocust, red maple, red <br />oak) within and around the parking lot area, which will help to soften the view of the parking lot, <br />and will be in keeping with the existing school property trees along the west side of Old Crystal Bay <br />Road. Jack Nuveau of the Ice Arena agreed they would plant these additional trees within the next <br />year. <br />Staff approved this minor change to the landscape/planting plan subject to the additional trees being <br />planted next year and subject to City retaining the right to review the coniferous plantings when <br />completed and require any additional plantings needed. <br />!
