46 <br />Mr. Craig Benedict <br />November. 17, 2000 <br />Page 4 <br />Directly south of the proposed subdivision is the interchange <br />with I-40. A photograph taken from the bridge crossing I-40 facing. <br />north into the boundary of the subdivision depicts clearly the <br />substantially dense foliage presently in place (Fig. 3). In a <br />further effort to provide buffer coverage, Dr. Diehl has agreed to <br />add plantings of loblolly pines and Eastern red cedar along this <br />boundary (see Landscape and Buffer Planting Plan, page C-5). The <br />buffer area on the southern boundary of the tract adjacent to 1-40 <br />will remain heavily treed. Moreover, Dr. Diehl has caused to be <br />constructed a significant berm adjacent to the I-40 boundary, and <br />has caused Leland cypress to be planted throughout the length of <br />the berm. These trees, in the normal course, should grow to a <br />height of 20 to 25 feet. (See Figs.. 4, 5, 6 and 7 below.) <br />Fig. 3: view of the southern boundary of the property adjoining <br />I--40
