Fr- I <br />OCT 101979 nu, 41 Fact�� <br />4. Parking for the Commissioners and other Senior County <br />Officials will be provided close to the new Commission <br />Chambers with a direct access from 26th Street. <br />5. To control the use of the main parking lots better, <br />access from 17th Avenue, as shown in previous plan, <br />has been eliminated. <br />Following is a commentary of our discussion on trees and shrubs: <br />The existing trees will remain with some exceptions of <br />removal in the "pine family. "Also, on the northeast <br />corner, there are approximately 40 transplantable cabbage <br />palms, varying in height from 20 ft. to 28 ft., which will <br />be used in the new landscape plans. <br />As far as the existing shrubs, many of them will not be <br />used in the new plan. In most cases, the shrubs are: <br />1. High maintenance type. <br />2. Diseased and lack care (fertilizing, etc.). <br />3. Too mature: Cut back and root damage incurred -in <br />transplanting would not be practical, and most plants <br />would not fit into new plans. <br />4.
