Much of the existing pl�nt material is to � great extent defoli�ted due to competition <br /> for sun light�nd poor�ir circulation which causes fung�l diseases. Also, the existing <br /> dr�inage in this are� is poor. With the proposed storm dr�inage system and some <br /> berming, the soils will be better drained �nd more conducive for growing these types of <br /> trees. � <br /> The buffer are� will be re-pl�nted with nursery grown specimen quality; Balsam Fir, <br /> Bl�ckhills Spruce, Ponderos� Pine, White Pine, Qu�king Aspen �nd River Birch. The new <br /> coniferous trees will be 18'-20' t�ll when planted. <br /> A(I of the existing trees along Sugarwoods Drive will be s�ved with the exception of those <br /> �t the new drivew�y entr�nce. New trees will be pl�nted when the old drivew�y is <br /> removed. <br /> We have hired Schoell Madson Engineers to provide� c�tch b�sin which will be installed <br /> in the north �re� to �Ilevi�te�n ongoing drainage problem �nd ensure the house to the <br /> north will not flood. In addition to the storm sewer, �n emergency overflow sw�le will be <br /> constructed across the property�long with � trench drain in the drivew�y. This minor <br /> gr�ding �long with the gr�ding as shown on the gr�ding plan is necess�ry to keep � <br /> drain�ge away from the new house. The slopes do not exceed three to one thus the <br /> landscaping and the grass can be e�sily�m�int�ined. <br /> NOP.THERN I�tATTONAL BANK BAXTER .t"_ NORTHERh NATIO;�AL BANK BRAINERD �� <br /> NU1L'CHE2N NA'1'lUNAL TiANK CitU55LAt�E <_ NOI2THERN NATIONAL�iANK NISSWA <br />
