<br />Project Proposal 2 <br />The professional site and landscape design work of this project proposal is being <br /> <br /> <br />contracted with Ryan McAlpine of Bachman's Landscaping. Ryan has bachelor degrees in <br /> <br /> <br />Landscape Architecture and Environmental Design from North Dakota State University, has <br /> <br /> <br />supervised numerous installation crews for Bachman's and is a proven effective designer and <br /> <br /> <br />project manager. Proposed project specifications and landscape design services provided by <br /> <br /> <br />Ryan are included in these documents as Attachment B. <br /> <br />SITE FEATURES <br /> <br />The proposed garden area will include newly planted landscaped gardens, enhanced natural <br /> <br /> <br />wetland prairies, a memorial tree, boulder, paver walkways and reflection benches. Attachment <br /> <br /> <br />A provides specific plant and tree recommendations. Attachment B provides site design specifics <br />adherent to both site locations, respectively. <br /> <br />SITE LOCATION <br /> <br />There are two proposed sites recommended for this project. <br /> <br />Site # 1 - located on the northwest parcel of land at Sun wood Drive and Junkite Street. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment A provides a photograph of this site. This site is the preferred site for this project for <br /> <br />several reasons; 1) site # 1 is in within direct proximity to the Junkite neighborhood and <br /> <br /> <br />community individuals most strongly impacted by the tragic loss of Luke Crotteau, 2) site #1 is <br /> <br />currently being misused by neighboring properties, such as dirt bike tracking and snowmobile <br /> <br /> <br />jumps, and is in a constant state ofunaestheticness along the high trafficked Sunwood Drive, 3) <br /> <br />forecasted budget dollars would allow for greater enhancements due to smaller site size and <br /> <br /> <br />require less ground grading for ADA compliancy (approximately 80 yards of clean fill), 4) <br /> <br />maintenance of the site would be more easily facilitated by project supporters, and 5) the existing <br /> <br /> <br />natural wetlands in the surrounding site area would benefit from the land renovations as <br /> <br /> <br />proposed project plans include work to be performed by Prairie Restorations, Inc. <br />
