Committee approves 53 Green Street planting plan; contractor to water through acceptance
Summary
Project landscape architect Vicky Martell described planting details for 53 Green Street—two street trees (2.5–3-inch, ball-and-burlap) and structural soil details—while the developer's contractor agreed to water through final acceptance; the committee voted to approve the plan.
The committee approved a landscape plan for 53 Green Street after a presentation from project landscape architect Vicky Martell. Martell said the two street trees proposed are 2.5–3 inch caliper and will be ball-and-burlap; she said structural soils and a tree garden detail were included on the engineering plans.
Martell told the committee that the general contractor (Schindberg) will be responsible for watering the trees through final acceptance and that the contractor will coordinate with the city on right-of-way plantings. Committee members asked about burlap and wire-cage removal and Martell confirmed those would be removed at planting. After brief discussion, a member moved to approve the planting plan and the committee voted in favor.
Martell said she will be involved in construction inspections and will coordinate with city staff to ensure proper planting and watering through the acceptance period.
