Subject: Seven Questions about the "Landscape Design with Species Detail" Submitted July 12, 2006
- 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?
- What is the landscape design for the EAST embankment of the detention pond facing Carpenter Street?
- What is the landscape plan for the INSIDE of the detention pond?
- Will there be plantings ON the face of the detention pond wall, or just a blank wall surface?
- 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.)
- What is the timeline for FINAL landscaping of the detention pond embankments (per the submitted drawings)?
- Where and when will trees be planted on the public parkways adjacent to the detention pond easement?
Respectfully submitted,
