Mr. Gentile pointed out on the plan the oak tree which would be relocated to the parking island, and where other trees would be relocated. Boardmember Parker requested a plant bed in the corner. During discussion, Boardmember Parker agreed that a double hedge was unnecessary along the property line, and suggested that more plants and trees be placed in the front planting islands, with understory material in the islands instead of grass . Vice Chair Strahan suggested that trees along the property line under the power lines be trimmed to allow them to thicken. Boardmember Dalack suggested hedge material be placed around trees rather than in a straight line, to which Mr. Gentile responded that cocoplum could be intermixed with the wax myrtle hedge. Mr. Gentile verified that plantings at the side of the building would be irrigated. Boardmember Parker made a motion to accept the landscape plans and waiver requests for the Bridge Road Shoppes with the following comments: 1. The cocoplum hedge in the back shall be eliminated because of the existing hedge provided by the Public Works Facility. In lieu of the hedge, shrubs shall be added into the parking islands in front. 2. Break up the wax myrtle hedge in front with sections of cocoplum hedge. 3. Add a planting bed at the front eastern corner. During discussion of the motion, Mr. Gentile verified that the cocoplum hedge would be curved around the trees.
