The root ball of <br /> the tree is backed up to the property line, and every foot gains height. You stagger for <br /> sunlight, so more sides of the tree receive light, with the existing buffer of trees. <br /> Mr. Oakley asked if there would be a retaining wall behind the Evergreen trees. He was <br /> thinking about bank stabilization. What is the root system and will they help stabilize the <br /> bank? <br /> Mr. Dibb reiterated the slope being 3:1, and the trees are on the level spot, then it slopes to <br /> the retaining wall where there is a minimal slope. It will help with stability. <br /> Mr. Buccino added he is not concerned with a 3:1 slope, which translates to 3 feet of <br /> horizontal distance for every 1 foot of vertical drop. There is a max slope for planting and <br /> having a viable condition. The trees are far enough back from the wall where there will be no <br /> conflict. <br /> Ms. Christy reminded the applicant of their previous discussion requiring that slope area be <br /> stabilized with an erosion control mat, and that is still applicable. <br /> Mr. Tobin thanked them for putting in the wall of taller trees, particularly along the building <br /> where abutters reside. In future years their view will look more like a forest and not an <br /> industrial rooftop. He inquired about ability to ensure healthy long-term trees. <br /> Mr. Buccino stated trees will get ample sunlight, which is what they need. The morning sun <br /> will be on the trees until 1:OOPM, with shade from the hot afternoon sun. They do not want to <br /> be enduring the hottest time of day, but just enough to promote growth and good health. <br /> Mr. Tobin asked about the dripline for those species. <br /> Mr. Buccino answered once the trees are established there will be no supplemental irrigation. <br /> There is a minimum requirement of one year with water installed on those trees to establish <br /> them. Deer Crossing will be delivering water each rainstorm to the back side of those trees. <br /> They will need to have that temporary initial irrigation. <br /> Mr. Kirrane will insert a survivability condition as seen in many conservation decisions. <br /> Ms. Waygan pointed out the infiltration basin along Shellback Way, and the land taking plan <br /> shows trees. <br /> 5 <br />
