HomeMy WebLinkAboutlandscape plan To: Mayor Jabbour& City Councilmembers Ron Moorse, City Administrator From: Mike Gaffron, Senior Planning Coordinator Date: September 2, 1997 Subject: Orono Ice Arena Landscape Plan-Revisions Approved by Staff Gary Schroeder, Operations Manager for the Ice Arena, submitted a revised tree planting plan that substitutes coniferous trees for most of the hardwoods originally planned for those areas generally within 50'of the building. They are getting these mature pine and spruce trees from the school annex east of Old Crystal Bay Road,where the existing rows of trees need thinning. This will save the Ice Arena approximately$19,000. The coniferous trees will provide some immediate screening adjacent to the building which would likely have taken 5-10 years to develop with the smaller deciduous stock initially proposed. The original plan proposes approximately 12 future additional trees(honeylocust,red maple,red oak) within and around the parking lot area,which will help to soften the view of the parking lot,and will be in keeping with the existing school property trees along the west side of Old Crystal Bay Road. Jack Nuveau of the Ice Arena agreed they would plant these additional trees within the next year. Staff approved this minor change to the landscape/planting plan subject to the additional trees being planted next year and subject to City retaining the right to review the coniferous plantings when completed and require any additional plantings needed. c, To: Ron Moorse, City Administrator Bruce Vang, Inspector From: , Mike Gaffron, Senior Planning Coordinator Date: August 29, 1997 Subject: Orono Ice Arena Landscape Plan Gary Schroeder, Operations Manager for the Ice Arena,has submitted a revised tree planting plan that substitutes coniferous trees for most of the hardwoods originally planned for those areas generally within 50' of the building. They are getting these mature pine and spruce trees from the school annex east of Old Crystal Bay Road, where the existing rows of trees need thinning. The deciduous trees will provide some immediate screening adjacent to the building which might take 5-10 years to develop with the smaller deciduous stock initially proposed.Also, it appears there are no areas where sidewalks would be shaded all day long where icing might result. Note that the original plan appears to propose additional trees (honeylocust, red maple, red oak) within and around the parking lot area.It is not clear whether these are proposd at this time,but they will help to soften the view of the parking lot,and will be more in keeping with the existing school property trees along the west side of Old Crystal Bay Road. I recommend approval of the revision, subject to the placement of the 12 or so deciduous trees proposed around the parking lot in the original plan. The original resolution referenced the original plan, but did not specify species. It is my opinion that as long as the original planting layout is generally followed,this does not require Council review. Please give me your thoughts so we can advise Schroeder Tuesday morning how to proceed. Gary Schroeder Orono Ice Arena, Inc. 1025 Old Crystal Bay Rd. Long Lake, MN 55356 August 22, 1997 Mike Gaffron/City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono, MN 55356 Dear Mike: Following is our proposal for the changes earlier discussed over the phone outlining the substitutions to the original plan which we believe to further enhance the total arena package. The proposed changes are the direct result of our arena being offered a number (approx. 50) beautiful mature white spruce and pine trees which the school district needs to thin out to prevent crowding. These trees are much larger in size than originally planned and have been extremely well taken care of by the school personnel. The replacement of the hardwoods in the original plan will provide the public with year around aesthetic beauty versus trees which would have provided cover for only that period of time when the leaves were on the trees. The plan will also be more consistent with what the neighbors have currently in place. The changes proposed will also save the arena approximately$19,000.00. Enclosed, please find for your review, a listing of the trees to be substituted as well as a copy of the original plan which has been color coded to make it easier to visualize the proposed changes. Thank you for your consideration in these matters and your continued support of our project! Sincerely, -2av Gary Schroeder Operations Manager/Orono Ice Arena Enclosure 2 PROPOSED SUBSTITUTIONS ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION KEY NEW PLAN COLOR Sugar Maple AS 1 White Pine Green Quaking Aspen P1 White Spruce Yellow Red Oak QR1,2 White Spruce Yellow Red Oak QR3 Blue Spruce Yellow Basswood TA1,2 White Spruce Yellow Also, the 11 White Spruce (8 ft. high) designated PG on the original plan will be replaced with 6 of the much larger(15-25 ft.) White Spruce available to us. More than that are available but I believe it may cause an overcrowding condition if too many are placed here. All other plant materials will remain the same as the original site plan. 0-4G)DCrm-I z C: U) Z C i?1 C SnDD�?'mD (/) 0 p z -< Z om�0QQ2 D -0 --1Z c D TI=rn= --lzN DDC)D=--im �pm(nm�Z mz�-:�?0= o�o���o >. mn m�Dm�G)o D -< D Dv0ZDpD Z(A m Z D � SCD- C) L/) -< Q 2 C7 z�Q=Qmm mZ-H(1)(n(nD .UQQQ-I�=J X n M C r- n (nmC)D.r- O-� oZO Om DZ G?ZZ� -o (A z D Q z vao>z D r- K 0' :;oD i I / I r � � r 1 t 1 li 1 S t 1 t i t 1 1 ! 1 1 I ` 1 i t i 1 i i fJ %n c CD CL 0 Q c o c Z cr i f i0 `M --Ci 8`�--�»_ I 1 I 1 I I 7 ) J 1 1 1 / / Oma` t J C� � � r iV o m 0 4c n 1 , i IN12 _ - - t 0 1 co rTl CO r w Z co c m -* I r a Aj rrlr rrI i y ZIOI '_� 9� "I a o D a1 _-- c ^_ 00 .^• •.w^ �� _-_ .-____-_ ..ice• •4 r .r, L4_Q ����\\j .. •,- L4 0 (U )(1) S -J CL rL) c ro _17 gOO�y (U m I T i l ! f S 1 1 ,Y ' t ► i ! i t Cr) CO r(D O f i 1 i (D O o ' t a c� I I w cn I j O (D O J�'O, P !
