Re: Coppell Old Town DRAFT (90%) Planting Plan
Dwight,
Here's some comments for the 90% review plans:
sheet LP-2.
1. Remove the two indian hawthorn's in all the 5 x 9 cut-outs, just use a CE or SVH and GLR.
2. Indian Hawthorn is over used in the center median (138 units). Please add Dwarf Spirea 'Anthony
Waterer" and Knock Out Roses 'Double red' to the median. Call to discuss.
sheet LP-4.
1. Southern Live Oak & Shumard Red Oak trees need to be 65 gallon.
2. Cedar Elm Trees will need to be 4" B.B., field tagged by John Elias.
3. The Crape Myrtles & Tree Yaupon Hollies need to be 30 gallon.
4. 'Little Gem' Magnolias need to be 45 gallon.
5. Indian Hawthorn's need to be 'Pinkie'.
Thank You

Keith and John,
Attached is a draft review set of planting plans for Old Town Coppell. The plans are based on input
received in our recent meetings with you, other City of Coppell staff and the developer. We would like to
get your comments on these draft plans as soon as possible so that we can incorporate them in our 90%
submittal on April 12.
Key changes in the planting plans since our last submittal include:
* Use of Savannah Holly as the small tree in all sidewalk tree wells along storefronts
* Use of Live Oak as predominant tree in parking islands
* Use of Green Liriope for groundcover in all locations
* Use of a single meandering line of Little Gem Magnolia in the entry median
* Use of very low shrubs/ornamental grasses in the vicinity of intersections and crosswalks for
vehicular and pedestrian safety
* Coordination with Parks Department for other plant preferences
(10/24/2011) Keith Marvin - Re: Coppell Old Town DRAFT (90%) Planting PlanPage 2
* Elimination of sidewalk decorative paving bands
The upcoming 90% submittal will provide technical specifications and detailed design of the back-of-curb
root barrier system.
Please let me or Trish know if you have a question or need any other information to help with your review
of this draft submittal. We look forward to getting your input.
Thanks,
Dwight
