The mulch beds in the parkways will have foot traffic as people parking along the street will traverse the parkways to get to the sidewalk. Be sure to specify a mulch product that will not break down easily and applied to a sufficient depth to withstand foot traffic. The soil should be amended to ensure that the trees receive moisture. Please add a note to the Landscape Plan indicating the purpose, function and design of the two mulch beds. Response: The parkway mulch beds are being used to best protect the existing tree in the parkway at the direction of the City Forester. Similar treatments have been used at the nearby Library project, so we are designing these to match a similar neighborhood character. The mulch has been indicated on the plans as 4" depth wood mulch. This increased depth will help with foot traffic, and we have provided stepping stones in locations immediately adjacent to building doors that would most likely be used for cut -through paths. Soil amendment notes are included on the plans. Comment Number: 11 Comment Originated: 06/10/2014 06/10/2014: Along both frontages, there seems to be a deliberate attempt to not plant shrubs over the storm sewer line. While trees are discouraged over storm sewers, shrubs present no such similar issues. Please consider spreading the shrubs out accordingly to take full advantage of the width that is available. Perhaps by doing so, additional plant material can be added. Response: The plants are being held away from the building foundation based on the recommendations from the soils report, not to avoid the storm sewer lines. The locations of the plants provide a simple but ornamental 'front yard' landscape treatment in this narrow area, but using low-water, drip -irrigated plantings set as far from the foundation as possible. Comment Number: 12 Comment Originated: 06/10/2014 06/10/2014: Of the 34 Deciduous Shrubs, 28 are a variety of Spirea. It seems the plant palette could be expanded to create more interest and variety.
