Hi Nel -
 
Overall the landscape plan works for this site.  To meet City landscape standards the
proposed 'Green Pillar' Oak should be 2" caliper vs 1.5".  They could use "Regal Prince'
variety of upright Oak also for the same effect with perhaps a better cultivar.
 
The sidewalk tree cut out should be rectangular in shape with a minimum width of
3.5' depending on ADA sidewalk requirements between back of sidewalk and the tree.
Ideally we would like to see 4' width tree pit; the length should be roughly 7'.  
 
Proposed landscape work in or near the Adams School "Park / Playground" can be reviewed
as suggested in the Plan Notes.  We like the native Little Bluestem grasses over the Switchgrass
as a start.
