West Hill-N-Park, 3rd Filing, Landscaping Requirement
Subject ._ -.-_ _
The resubdivision of West Hill-N-Park, 3rd Filing, was approved by the Board on
July 26, 1989. One of the conditions of approval was that the following note
shall appear on the recorded plat:
1. Prior to November 1, 1989, a row of Russian Olive trees shall be
planted by the applicant and maintained by the applicant until such
time as the Homeowner's Association is prescribed to take over
maintenance. The trees shall run the entire length of West Hill-N-
Park, Third Filing, as it abuts Weld County Road 52 and Weld County
Road 33. The trees shall be spaced a maximum of five feet apart and
be a minimum of three feet in height at the time of planting.
Attached are letters from Highland Nurseries, Inc. , and Roy Lundvall, Developer,
in which they explain that the planting has been attempted and has failed several
times. They are submitting a new proposal of Austrian Pines and Cottonless
Cottonwoods for the landscape buffer area. Mr. Lundvall has also submitted a
sketch showing the proposed location of the trees (attached) .
The Department of Planning Services' staff recommends the Board approve this
change and allow the replacement of the Russian Olives with Austrian Pines, 6-7
feet in height, and Cottonless Cottonwoods, approximately 18 feet in height, in
the landscape buffer area.

Dear Mr. Lundvall:
Thank you for your letter of April 9. The Board of County Commissioners has
considered your request to allow the substitution of Austrian Pines and
Cottonless Cottonwood trees for the Russian Olives as approved in the
resubdivision of West Hill-N-Park, 3rd Filing, approved by the Board on July 26,
1989, and has approved the substitution of the trees. The trees will be placed
in the landscape buffer area along Weld County Roads 52 and 33, as shown in the
sketch you have submitted to us.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely yours,

Gentlemen:
We at Highland Nurseries have planteda Russianolive screen for the
developer, Roy Lundvall, at the division of Hill 'n Park and the new
Baessler subdivision. Though the planting has been done several times
and watering has been performed with a watering truck, the results
have not been satisfactory. We have now proposed to plant larger
trees in the hopes that the larger watering bowls and larger root
system will sustain plants better through the heat of the summer
season and also during the often dry winter months. We are proposing
to plant 16 Austrian Pine, 6-7 feet in height and 7 Cottonless
Cottonwood, each approximately 18 feet in height, in this designated
screening area.
Yours truly,
Roy Lundvall
