Jean -
 
In review of the proposed 31 Fore Street project offer the following recommendations:
 
Street trees -  The two new street trees proposed for Waterville Street should be
'Autumn Gold' Ginkgo 2" caliper, planted in 4 x 7' tree cut outs in the walk.  Exact tree
locations should match the 'in-between' spaces for any on-street parking to help avoid
door openings into the tree trunk.
 
The street tree along Fore Street should be protected during construction, any broken
branches damaged should be pruned as part of the project.
 
Landscape area -  The area North or uphill of the project between the existing residential
unit should receive landscape treatment.  This should be in the form of trees / shrubs
and ground treatment options of 'lawn' or 'groundcover'.  The same for the space between
the building and the next door unit on Fore Street.  Vegetated buffer similar to existing should
be considered for the proposed project.  

Rain Garden -  Specific details on the rain garden are requested, if the project is to qualify 
for 'Stormwater' credits the project should follow Portland Water Resources 'rain garden'
guidelines.
 
Thanks,

Jeff Tarling
