Hi Julia:
The site plans you sent can be seen on-line but a er half an hour with tech guru at FedEx she says won't
print, seems to be a corrup on issue. I truly thank you for trying - can you ask LaBella to send extra hard
copies?
I was able to open and print out large format bio-swale plan ngs. (Again, Rhom Enterprises ... Is that
actual applicant?
Reading the Stormwater Manual 2024 re bio-swale landscaping, there was a comment that some form
of irriga on plan should be part of the proposal - plants are liable to fail without a bit of early TLC
assistance. I don't see this addressed.
Comments also say that most plants won't really start to grow for two years - so should larger trees be
planted? Generally 10 to 12 foot tall trees seem skimpy in rela on to what they are supposed to
accomplish.
I don't see anything on the plan re exactly how these trees are supposed to be planted - I sent this issue
in earlier e/mails. Stormwater manual has tree plan ng requirements that look a bit complex.
I researched the proposed plants - some might not be suitable due to exis ng plant diseases that now
specifically a ack certain trees. (Sent separately).
Could you please pass along this informa on to the planning board before the workshop? Also, has my
le er to planning board been distributed?
