Subject: Seven Questions about the "Landscape Design with Species Detail" Submitted July 12, 2006
  1. Are the species indicated on the landscape drawing for the SOUTH embankment of the detention suitable/viable for the deep shade under the remaining walnut trees?
  2. What is the landscape design for the EAST embankment of the detention pond facing Carpenter Street?
  3. What is the landscape plan for the INSIDE of the detention pond?
  4. Will there be plantings ON the face of the detention pond wall, or just a blank wall surface?
  5. Will seeding/sodding of the detention pond be required as part of the initial infrastructure construction as a soil conservation measure?  (We want to avoid a repeat of the situation at Banchory Woods where one half of the detention pond was left unseeded/unsodded for over a year while home construction was allowed to proceed on other lots.)
  6. What is the timeline for FINAL landscaping of the detention pond embankments (per the submitted drawings)?
  7. Where and when will trees be planted on the public parkways adjacent to the detention pond easement?

Respectfully submitted,
