ir " 4A. Mr. Reiter advised Mr. Bob Adsera, landscape architect of the DMJM Staff had prepared plans for the landscaping and advised there were to be not only a large number of plants and trees used but some very large specimens, in addition to the other features as described by City Manager. In reply to question on ownership of parkway proposed for such landscaping, City Manager advised property owned by the District and dedicated to the City. Councilman Henderson expressed her concern in two areas: (1) if response of Marine World to landscaping equalled that planned by the City; (2) concern for costs of maintenance. City Manager assured Council that corrections were to be made to proposed landscaping plans by Marine World and that Staff was in complete support of recommendations made by the Architectural Review Committee for better landscaping. City Manager advised it was not any more possible at this point to estimate in advance, costs of maintenance for parks and parkways in Redwood Shores than to estimate maintenance costs resulting from com- pleted improvement projects under the GID -1,2, 3-65.
