Plannlnjj & Zoning Admlnlsiraior <br />CMy of Orono <br />Z7.‘S0 Kelley Parkway <br />Orono, Minnesota 5S3S6-08I 8 <br />IVar Mr. Gaffron: <br />I have revised the planting plan lor the alter-thc-fai i applkailon for <br />variance at the risher residence at 475 Oxford Koad. I believe we have <br />addre.ssed all the crlilral issues and greatly Increased the densU> and quaiiiliy <br />of materials to be Installed. Ilie major changes to the plan ;ire as follows: <br />On the nonh side of the property we will plant 4 large trees In <br />place of ihe .1 iree.s that were removed. On the steep hillside we will <br />eave the stems and root systems in place so they will regrow to form a <br />dense thicket. <br />on the south side of the property we will plant 8 trees in the 0-75 <br />foot area. The planting In this area will retjuirc the removal of the <br />e.xlstlng stumps, .so we will plant undersiory plantings to teialii the soil <br />and recreate the thicket look that existed in this area. On the lake side <br />we will use Reed Canarv grass to form a dense border on the down-hill <br />side of the plantings. Onder the new trees we will plain Grey twigged <br />and Hediwlgged Dogwood to recreate the density of the plantings. <br />In addition, wc will plant more trees, shrubs and evergreens In <br />the area beyond the 7.5 foot line. These plantings will be in the general <br />atcit where existing maleilals weie iciiujved. <br />It is our lornenilon that ihlx proposal Is an excellent way to rei reale a <br />planting that will be ai least equal to what was removed.
