Case, ASLA <br />Landscape Afchitect/Planner <br />LGA Project <br />I was pleased to meet with Greg Gappa, Tom Kellogg, and you last Thursday, to review the <br />proposed LGA project and their ponding issue. After discussing their proposal, reviewing the <br />plans and visiting the site, I offer the following observations and preliminary recommendations. <br />My comments are based on a land planning, environmental and aesthetic perspective. <br />Proposed Alternatives: <br />Th« currently identified options for the required NURP basin include; <br />A. Locating the basin entirely on the northern part of Lot 1, Block 1, adjacent to the <br />common boundary with the park. <br />B. Locating the basin in the existing ravine on Lot 1 , Block 2. This option would require <br />constructing a dam across the ravine to form the pond. <br />ImBacts: <br />Location A. <br />1. This location would result in the loss of approximately .25-acres of oak, maple, <br />basswood woods due to pond construction. It would require removing a number of <br />maple and oak trees (most in the 6 to 18 inch caliper size range). <br />2. This location would reduce the buildable area of Lot 1, Block 1 by approximately .25 <br />acres. With tha pond in place, the lot would have approximately .7-acres of dry <br />buildable. <br />OAJOBS-v 1 609 3\9 1 697LGA. <br />Fost-ir Fax Note 7671 <br />£,Al=P2oki "“WAIXy C^£ <br />coyo^pt^rTT oP oeojoo <br />10 Fax It
