The applicant has agreed to remove the boxwood hedgerow from plans at the front of 930 King but would like to put a flower bed in its place. Original permit approval included a flower bed in front of a fence near the property line. With the removal of the fence and its associated flower bed, and the disapproval of the hedgerow at the front of the historic resource, the applicant is looking to put a flower bed with a similar plant schedule, as previously approved, closer to the historic resource (green area in below clip). I’ve included the original plant schedule clipped below as well. The plant schedule for this new flower bed won’t include as many plants as previously proposed but will have the same variety. Personally, I would prefer lawn to the rock border to keep the landscape simple per the hp design guidelines, but I do think a flower bed provides a nice compromise and is much preferred to the hedgerow. 2 Please let me know what your thoughts are and what you would like to see. And do let me know if you need any more information. 3 Thanks!

I can understand them screening the lightwell, but think sparser plantings at the street are more in keeping with our guidelines. 6 Thanks!

I didn't see a spatial presentation from the building but that being said if it was satisfactory then those low plantings to me aren't a 7 problem. Again this is not my long suit so if Kara has an opinion based on some historic decisions that we've made I would be interested to hear.

It was good to meet you both in person finally. Regarding the boxwood shrubs we discussed at 930 King, below is a snapshot of the areas we would like to plant Dwarf Boxwoods that grow approximately 18”‐24” tall maximum. We intend to keep them trimmed to 18” tall. Please let me know what the monitors think.
