Item # 8.D.1. <br /> iik - _ <br /> River <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Park& Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Michele McPherson, Director of Planning <br /> DATE: February 13, 2002 <br /> SUBJECT: Landscaping— Oak Savannah Park <br /> Request <br /> The Commission requested that the landscaping along the property line at Oak Savannah <br /> Park be discussed further at the February meeting. <br /> • Attachments <br /> • Location Map <br /> • October Park and Recreation Meeting Minutes <br /> • Photographs <br /> • Concept Plan <br /> Analysis <br /> At the October meeting,two residents spoke regarding the need for additional buffering and <br /> screening along the common property line of Oak Savannah Park with the adjacent <br /> residential properties. As can be seen in the digital photographs, there are gaps in the <br /> screening that allows visual intrusion from the park to the adjacent residential properties. <br /> Staff can pursue additional plantings of evergreens and/or shrubs such as hazelnut or <br /> dogwood,which will achieve a height to provide screening,specifically during the summer <br /> when residents are most likely to be enjoying their backyards. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff requests further direction from the Commission regarding additional landscaping for <br /> Oak Savannah Park. <br /> • <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PARKNREC\OakSavannah2.doc <br />
