The Board and Mr. Booth discussed the types of ~ees and shrubs
indicated in his plan. 8oa~d Membe~ Schilling questioned the scotch
pine, M~. Booth answered that they have a marginal life span, perhaps
2 to ) yea~s unde~ the right conditions. 8oa~d Membe~ Cale~ suggested
blue spruce, M~. 8ooth answered that the blue was heartie~ but still
marginal. M~. Booth stated that the Moocks had suggested picnic tables
in ~he f~on[ of the building on the g~ass. The 8oa~d discussed the
fact tha~ the lot is surrounded by open a~ea subject ~o strong winds
without a break and suggested the addition of trees fo~ a windbreak
esp. in view of picnic tables. M~. 8ooth s~ated that the t~ees
indicated on the plan were 11' tall by 1 1/4"~ the che~ry t~ees being
about 10' tall which is a good survival factor.
The Board returned to discussion ~ega~ding the f~ont three existing
t~ees ~equesting ~hat a lette~ go to ~he owne~ specifying tha~ those
three t~ees remain. The 8oa~d asked Mr. 8oo~h if the~e was a dolla~
figure specified fo~ the plan, Mr. 8oo~h answered yes. The 8oa~d
suggested working with M~. 8ooth to stay within ~he designated budget
and accomplish ~he wishes of ~he Board and the owners. The discussion
turned to trading some of the shrubs and small trees on ~he ~ea~ of
the lot in the inside island and close ~o the building fo~ t~ees to
