2. Areas adjacent to new parking lots on the west will be native seeded. These areas are
currently dirt with no plantings. These areas will not be irrigated, but in the future,
when additional buildings are built to the west, they will probably be converted to sod
with irrigation.
3. Main entrance to the detention facility -a planter will be constructed on the north wall of
the Detention Facility, approximately Y deep. The planter will contain Vinca Minor,
which will have drip irrigation. The planter is intended to prevent pedestrians from
walking directly to the wall of the building, and attempting to vandalize or damage the
building, per security objective number two above. A low ground cover was selected to
prevent the creation of hiding places. The planting bed will continue on the west side
of the building, to the point where the sallyport drive enters the building.
4. Cell areas -adjacent to the cell exterior wall is a gravel strip, designed to match the
existing gravel strip around cell areas. Sod areas will occur beyond the gravel, and will
extend to the nearest road or walkway. All sod areas will be irrigated. Metal edging
will occur between sod and gravel. A PVC coated chain link fence, to match the
existing fence, will be constructed around the cell areas, to prevent pedestrian access to
the cell windows or exercise yard openings.
5. All existing plantings not in the way of new construction are to remain.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the landscape plan or the written statement.
Sincerely,
u, &"-�

Re: Larimer County Detention Facility Expansion
Final Development Plan
Landscape Plan -Written Statement
Dear Ted:
The following is the written statement for the landscape plan for the Larimer County Detention Facility
Expansion.
The landscape plan for the Larimer County Detention Facility Expansion has primarily been influenced
by the security requirements of the facility. The landscaping can not be in conflict with the security
requirements of the facility, otherwise a potentially dangerous situation could be created. The most
important security issues which affect the landscaping are:
1. The need to be able to view the entire site from closed circuit television cameras, which
are mounted on the building and on poles throughout the site. It is extremely important
that the central control room shall be able to monitor the entire site, including parking
areas, adjacent roads, and areas around buildings, to prevent undesirable access onto the
site. Also, the site must be monitored to prevent the hiding of people or contraband. In
order to satisfy this security objective, new bushes and trees have been held to a
minimum.
2. The need to keep people away from the exterior walls of the building, to prevent attack
or vandalism to the building. Because cell windows, and other windows and doors are
located on the fast floor and are susceptible to attack, it is important that the landscape
help to keep people away from the buildings.
The landscape plan has been designed to enhance the security requirements listed above, while at the
same time providing an aesthetically pleasing environment for visitors and staff. The primary elements
of the landscape plan are the following:
1. The existing sod areas of the site have been extended to Midpoint Drive, where the new
entrance road is relocated. This will continue the sodded appearance of the Detention
Facility as it is viewed from Midpoint Drive. The sodded areas will be irrigated. There
are no bushes or trees planned for this area, in conformance with security objective
number one above.
