| | |
| | PLEASE RESPOND TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN FORMAT. |
| | |
| | 1. ON SHEET LS-01, THE LIVE OAK IN THE PLANTER (WEST |
| | SIDE OF LIBRARY ENTRANCE) SHOWS IT AS HAVING BEEN |
| | RELOCATED BUT THERE IS NO REFERENCE TO ACTUALLY MOVING |
| | THE TREE. THE TREE SHOULD BE MOVED TO LINE UP WITH THE |
| | OTHERS. |
| | |
| | 2. THERE WAS DISCUSSION CONCERNING THE LACK OF A |
| | LANDSCAPE ISLAND AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CLEMATIS |
| | AND DIXIE HIGHWAY. AN ISLAND SHOULD BE CUT OUT AND |
| | LANDSCAPED WITH MEDJOOLS AND UNDERPLANTING TO MATCH THE |
| | ISLAND AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER. THIS WOULD HIGHLIGHT |
| | THE PROMINENT INTERSECTION. |
| | |
| | 3. THE PLANTING DETAIL ON SHEET LS-03 SHOWS A THREE |
| | INCH LAYER OF MULCH PLACED OVER THE ROOT BALL OF THE |
| | SHRUBS. THE SHRUBS SHALL BE PLANTED AT 1 1/2 INCHES |
| | ABOVE GRADE WITH THE THREE INCH LAYER OF MULCH BEING |
| | PLACED OUTSIDE OF THE ROOT BALL AND ONLY A FINE LAYER |
| | OF MULCH BEING PLACED DIRECTLY OVER THE ROOT BALL. |
| | |
| | 4. PINE BARK 'MINI NUGGETS' IS PROPOSED. PINE BARK |
| | TENDS TO FLOAT DURING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL. PLEASE |
| | CONSIDER A MORE ECO-FRIENDLY TYPE OF MULCH THAT DOES |
| | NOT FLOAT. |
| | |
| | 5. THE GRADE HAS BEEN BUILT UP AROUND THE BASE OF THE |
| | EXISTING OAK TREES. THIS SITUATION WILL CAUSE A SLOW |
| | DECLINE IN THE HEALTH OF THE LIVE OAKS. LIVE OAKS |
| | REQUIRE A WELL DRAINED AREA WITH NO CHANGE OF |
| | ELEVATION. THE GRADE IN THE EXISTING PLANTERS SHOULD BE |
| | BROUGHT DOWN TO THE ORIGINAL GRADE WHEN THE OAKS WERE |
| | PLANTED. |
| | |
| | IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ROBERT |
| | KUSSNER @ (561) 822-1462. |
