RE: Warren Farm P.U.D. Streetscape
The City will take over maintenance of the streetscape along Warren Farm
after a minimum establishment period of two years. The following landscape
standards need to be communicated to the developer:
1. The developer needs to submit an irrigation plan to Chuck Ainsworth in the
Parks and Recreation Department for his review prior to construction.
Chuck indicated that "mini sprays" in the shrub beds would be preferable to
drip irrigation.
2. The seed mix indicated on the site plan should be changed to 50% tall
fescue and 50% Fairway crested wheat grass.
3. An 18 inch wide concrete mow strip is required along the fence adjacent to
turf areas. See standard detail included in the attached landscape standards
packet.
4. Landscape berming should not exceed a 4:1 slope.
5. All shrub beds shall be mulched with 3-4 inches of pole peelings over an
approved weed barrier. Typar or equivalent is recommended.
6. Shrub beds shall be edged with 1/8 " x 4" steel strap bolted or welded at
joints. Edging shall be installed true to line as indicated on the drawings.
Top of edging shall be set flush with adjacent paving and 1 inch above sod
grade.
