2845 Little Orchard <br /> July 17, 2001 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Staff Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends approval of the restoration plan subject to the following: <br /> 1. Approval of the proposed plant species and locations as presented. <br /> 2. Avoid use of weed barrier fabric/plastic except where needed to stabilize the slope for <br /> planting, since the City considers fabric/plastic as hardcover. <br /> 3. Where mulch beds are needed, use wood chips rather than rock to maintain a more natural <br /> look. <br /> 4. Approval of the gradual removal of buckthorn along the remaining shoreline areas, with <br /> concurrent replacement plantings to avoid the appearance of clear-cutting. <br /> 5. Any non-buckthorn tree or understory removals must be approved by City s*aff. There are <br /> a small number of existing trees on the site which should be removed or trimmed, and this <br /> activity is acceptable subject to staff review and approval for each individual tree. <br /> 6. Proposed lawn areas approved as shown on the plan. <br /> 7. Proposed stairway approved as shown on the plan. <br /> COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br /> Motion to approve the lakeshore understory vegetation restoration plan as presented by John <br /> Fleischhaker for the property at 2845 Little Orchard Road,subject to the conditions contained in the <br /> staff recommendation. <br />
