135 N ACCESS RD
Reviewing Landscape Plan for 135 North Access Road
Senior Planner Carlson presented the staff report.
Vice Chairperson Teglia questioned if the fence had been moved back ten feet or if the trees were
being placed behind the fence. Senior Planner Carlson noted that the trees are behind the fence and
that there would be 10 feet of depth between the sidewalk and fence.
Vice Chairperson Teglia and Senior Planner Carlson discussed the tree size being proposed for the
site as well as maintenance Conditions of Approval.
Bill Fee, Landscape Architect with Cartuchi and Associates, clarified that they are proposing 36 inch
box size trees which will be staked and maintained.
Commissioner Oborne recalled discussing that the plants would be larger and was concerned that they
would remain the same size. Mr. Fee explained that horitculturally aplant is more adaptable if it is
planted at a younger stage. He further noted that, taking into consideration that the site was a salt
marsh and there is a slough next to it, it is best to use small adaptable plants because large plants may
go into shock and not grow.
Senior Planner Carlson informed the Commission that the Conditions of Approval were restructured
to require mature shrubs and specimen size trees.
Motion--Commissioner Prouty !Second--Commissioner Oborne to accept the revised landscape
plan for 135 North Access Road. Approved by unanimous voice vote. Commissioner Sim -absent

such as the ones presented at this meeting. He requested that staff communicate with future
applicants that the Commission is looking for better projects to avoid having the application continued
to another meeting for further review.
Fairfield Development trees -Commissioner Prouty also commented on the dilapidated state of the

ongoing maintenance agreement that the site needs to adhere to.

material on the corners to cover the conduits but only installed the material on the outer edge
