HomeMy WebLinkAboutROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL EXPANSION SITE PLAN ADVISORY REVIEW - 48 93 - CORRESPONDENCE - LANDSCAPE PLANRobb. Brenner and Brelig, Inc. 7. The City has planted and is currently irrigating the area between the sidewalk and Shield Street. Tim Buchanan indicated the City will continue to maintain this area since it has already got a contract to maintain similar areas on the east side of Shields as well as the large detention area farther south. Tim emphasized that the grass in these areas may be a slightly different color than the Low Maintenance Mix that Bob is recommending for planting on the rest of the 6 acre site. 8. We discussed landscaping in the remaining court area between existing Buildings A and C. Jerry Garretson believes there is a well and a pump in .that area and will try to find information on it for us. 9. Bob Hendrickson will require a 1" new water tap from Science Area "E" to provide irrigation for that court area. The existing irrigation lines that run under the opening between existing Buildings "A" and "B" can be abandoned. 10. Tim Buchanan will provide for Bob Hendrickson and us lists of plant material the City finds most appropriate for our climate. This will help in determining the kinds of plant material to be used along the front of the building and at the main entry. 11. We discussed the use of trees and shrubs in most areas. Jerry would prefer to stay with trees since shrubs get pretty well beaten up by students. 12. At the main entrance shrubs may be appropriate. We discussed the pros and cons of using some Aspen, rock and ground cover as an appropriate symbol for Rocky Mountain High. 13. Ralph Zentz will complete redmarking the trees by Wednesday, September 8th and RB+B should be able to readjust their parking plan after that time. cc: Ron Daggett .Keith Dixon Bob Hendrickson Jerry Garretson Tim Buchanan Robb.

Place: Rocky Mountain High School Present: Bob Hendrickson Jerry Garretson Tim Buchanan Ralph Zentz Bill Brenner Purpose: Landscaping and Irrigation Issues 1. Bob Hendrickson recommends using a Low Maintenance Mix in place of the fescue grass that we show on the plans. He has used this at the hospital with good success. It needs the same amount of irrigation as fescue grass, but does not clump as fescue grass does. Bob Hendrickson will provide specifications for this mix. 2. Jerry Garretson asked if the 6 acres was going to be fenced. Our plans do not call for fencing. 3. Will there be fencing around the private residence that remains? Our plans do not call for fencing. 4. Discussed kids shortcutting and driving over grassed areas. Jerry indicated that if we have a high curb around the parking area he doesn't think this will be a problem. It hasn't been in the existing parking lots. 5. Existing trees on 6 acre site: Ralph Zentz of the City will mark with a red painted spot on the north side those trees that should be removed. RB+B will re -look at parking layouts on the basis of those trees that can be retained. Once the parking plan is finalized Bob Hendrickson will take that plan, complete a landscaping and irrigation plan. 6. If the trees to be retained can be identified, Jerry Garretson can contract out to have them pruned and the rest of the trees removed. This may provide a positive statement to the neighbors that we are working to retain good existing landscaping. [.v e- "^ e t 4-- , -E L., �.
