Findines of Fact and Conclusions of Law for DR-OS-04 - Parkine Lot and Bus Lanes for Eaele Hills Elementary School - Meridian Joint School District: Meridian Joint School District, represented by Doug Russell with The Land Group, is requesting design review approval to construct a parking lot and bus lanes for Eagle Hills Elementary School.

Stanger moves to amend the findings of fact and conclusions of law for DR-OS-04 - Parking Lot and Bus Lanes for Eagle Hills Elementary School, under the conclusions of law, adding #4 to read as follows: Eagle City Code requires plant replacements on a per inch basis, however many of the trees removed on this project are of the Juniper species which have a relatively low landscape value and can be considered an oversized shrub. The Design Review Board feels the additional trees required on the existing school grounds improves the landscape of the school and creates continuity throughout the site of existing grounds to the parking lot. This improvement supersedes the requirement for replacement on a per inch basis. Seconded by McCullough. Discussion. ALL A YE...MOTION CARRIES. A.

United States r` "y Department of Agriculture Forest Service State and Private Forestry Northeastern Area alertNA-PR-07-02 Revised December 2002 Emerald Ash Borer A new exotic beetle from Asia was discovered feeding on ash (Fraxinus spp.) trees in . • 14*11 southeastern Michigan. It was identified in July 2002 as Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire r°• (Coleoptera: Buprestidae). Larvae feed in the phloem and outer sapwood, producing galleries that eventually girdle and kill branches and entire trees. Evidence suggests that A.planipennis has been established in Michigan for at least five years.Surveys to determine the extent of the infested area are underway. Ae Identification E {s, Adults are larger and a brighter green than any of the native North American species of Agrilus(Figure 1).The slender,elongate adults are 7.5 to 13.5 mm long,and females Figure 1. Adult beetle are larger than males. The adult body is brassy or golden green overall, with darker, metallic, emerald green wing covers, or elytra. The top of the abdomen under the elytra is metallic coppery red (seen only when the wings are spread).The prothorax, to which the first pair of legs is attached, is slightly wider than the head but the same width as the base of the elytra. The back edges of the covering on the prothorax 1114.1.1110110111.11 are sinuate or wavy, and the top is sculptured with tiny, transverse wavy ridges. The surfaces of the elytra are granularly roughened. Tips of the elytra are rounded with small teeth along the edge. Figure 2. Late stage larva Larvae reach a length of 26 to 32 mm,are cream-colored and dorso-ventrally flattened (Figure 2).The brown head is mostly retracted into the prothorax and only the mouth- parts are visible externally. The 10-segmented abdomen has a pair of brown, pincer- °111111111111114110 like appendages on the last segment. Biology The emerald ash borer appears to have a one year life cycle in southern Michigan but could require two years to complete a generation in colder regions.Adult emergence • begins in mid to late May, peaks in early to mid June, and continues into late June ps' (Figure 3). The adults are active during the day, particularly when conditions are ,"_ warm and sunny. Most beetles remain in protected locations in bark crevices or on r ` foliage during rain, heavy cloud cover,high winds,or temperatures above 32°C(90°F). • Chinese literature indicates that beetles usually fly within 2 meters of the ground.The likelihood of long distance flights is not known.Adults,which are present into August, Figure 3. Newly emerged emerald ash borer feed on up to 0.45 cm' of foliage per day, leaving irregularly-shaped patches of leaf tissue with jagged edges. • • Information from China indicates that male adults live an average of 13 days and - ,y females live about 21 to 22 days. Females can mate multiple times and oviposition ikith begins 7 to 9 days after the initial mating. Females lay 65 to 90 eggs during their lifetime. Eggs are deposited individually on the bark surface or in bark crevices on the trunk or branches.In southeastern Michigan,the ovipositionperiod likelyextends into g p mid to late July. ;� _-* al Eggs hatch in 7 to 10 days.After hatching,first instar larvae chew through the bark and Figure 4. Larval gallery • into the cambial region. Larvae feed on phloem and the outer sapwood for several weeks. The S-shaped feeding gallery winds back and forth, becoming progressively wider as the larva grows (Figure 4). Galleries are packed with fine frass. Individual galleries usually extend over an area that is 20 to 30 cm in length, though the length of the affected area can range from 10 to 50 cm. In some areas, woodpeckers feed ' Ai heavily on larvae. The insect overwinters as a full-grown larva in a shallow chamber excavated in the r „, f# ' • sapwood.Pupation begins in late April or early May.Newly eclosed adults may remain in the pupal chamber for 1 to 2 weeks before emerging head-first through a D-shaped exit hole that is 3-4 mm in diameter(Figure 5). Figure 5. D-shaped exit hole Distribution and Hosts P The emerald ash borer is indigenous to Asia and is known to occur in China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, the Russian Far East, and Taiwan. A Chinese report indicates high • ' populations of the borer occur primarily in Fraxinus chinensis and F. rhynchophylla I t, - forests. Other reported hosts in Asia include F. mandshurica var.japonica, Ulmus ` davidiana var. japonica, Juglans mandshurica var. sieboldiana, and Pterocarya rhoifolia. In Michigan, this borer has been observed only on ash trees. It has killed i ,k green ash (F. pennsylvanica), white ash (F. americana), and black ash (F. nigra), as -.Ai well as several horticultural varieties of ash. r � Symptoms Infestations of emerald ash borer can be difficult to detect until canopy dieback begins. • R Evidence of infestation includes D-shaped exit holes on branches and the trunk. `- ' , , ; Callus tissue produced by the tree in response to larval feeding may cause vertical tr, %, splits 5-10 cm in length to occur in the bark above the gallery (Figure 6). Distinct, ►. `" 444, - frass-filled larval tunnels etch the outer sapwood and phloem of the trunk and branches ' (Figure 7).An elliptical area of discolored sapwood,likely a result of secondary infection by fungal pathogens, sometimes surrounds larval feeding galleries in live trees. Infested branches in the canopy die when they are girdled by the serpentine tunnels Figure 6. Vertical split in the bark above excavated by feeding larvae. Many trees appear to lose about 30 to 50 percent of the larval gallery canopy in one year and the tree is often killed after 2-3 years of infestation(Figure 8). *-- g Frequently a profusion of epicormic shoots arises at the margin of live and dead tissue .. ,m '"': ',, I on the trunk. When trees die, dense root sprouting occurs. o' Emerald ash borer killed trees of various size and condition in Michigan. Larvae '� t A successfully developed on trees as small as 5 cm in diameter, but pole-sized and sawtimber-sized trees were also killed. Stress likely contributes to vulnerability of ash trees and recent summer droughts may have contributed to high emerald ash borer t * u_. populations in southeastern Michigan. However, emerald ash borer attacked and t killed apparently vigorous trees in woodlots and urban trees under regular irrigation E' and fertilization regimes. `' Sources -k ,1 , Yu, Chengming. 1992.Agrilus marcopoli Obenberger.
