Vinnie's Pizza Landscaping
Ted,
As we discussed a few weeks ago I believe there are some serious concerns regarding the planting of
trees at Vinnie' Pizza at 204 W. Prospect. The plan calls for 3 trees to be planted between the curb and
sidewalk. I believe that if even 1 tree is planted a serious visibility problem is created. When I met with
the landscape contractor and the owner, they agreed that it was a bad situation. In an effort to see if a
tree could be "squeezed" in I asked Eric Bracke to assess the situation. His recommendation to me was
to not plant any trees or tall shrubs in the parkway.
Given the evidence and having collected other opinions, my recommendation continues to be that the City
should not require any tree to be planted in the parkway strip at Vinnie's Pizza.
Thanks Ted; my extension is -6302.
