Hello Judi. Could you forward this to the committee members for tonite? And perhaps another copy of the
Abrahamsons drawing that was shared at the last meeting? Thx.
Per the note below, the Veterans Memorial Committee proposes that a low -height planting from the original plan for
Lilleskogen — prairie dropseed — replace the grass "lawn" contained in the June, 2017 drawing from Abrahamsons. We'd
like to give Abrahamsons the authority to add accent plantings from the list such as butterfly weed in that same area.
We also propose the elimination of the shade tree that is closest to the parking lot and possibly one other tree. We can
discuss this tonite. Thank you.

Terry,
Thanks for your follow up on this. We are going with what Neil came up with. This is a good recommendation
that seems to meet all of the interests and complies with the park plant design. Prairie dropseed would cover the
area in front of and to the side of the memorial patio. Butterfly weed would also be used to accent the
area. The tree located in the front area will not be used.
I like this and hope that all other parties will agree so we can move on. This provides a good look for the
memorial and park entrance and complies with the park plan for plantings. These plants were taken right off of
the park drawing and fit the area that they were called for. These are also low maintenance so another plus.
Here is the picture again that Neil provided. It's a good representation of the finished look.
