Final Project Improvements: <br />The landscape elements consist of the planting of a mix of Swamp White Oak, River Birch, Tamarack, 109 shrubs <br />(two species), 80 cubic yards of landscape mulch, 20 cubic yards of soil amendments; and the installation of <br />basic irrigation for the two large medians within the parking lot. The first attachment highlights the planting <br />palette which was selected for hardiness for the site as well as visual appeal throughout the seasons. The <br />fast-growing River Birch and Tamarack will also provide valuable shade for the parking stalls on the north side of <br />both medians. <br />Notification: <br />Notifications are not required with this case. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Staff has developed a project estimate to complete this project at approximately $45,000 for all the landscape <br />work, and $10,000 for the required irrigation components, including a new controller to be installed in the <br />warming house with wires and four valves to be installed near the pickleball courts.
