RENT BY:PHONE5106443701 ; 4- 8-32 ; 6:32AM KINKO'S UNIVERSITY, 7 <br /> Muick 4/8/92 COInments on Buckeye Ranch EIR <br /> 4.7-26 Landscaping species: Assuming that the <br /> concern here is a biological one, it seems <br /> unreasonable and unenforceable to prohibit a <br /> homeowner from planting roses, marigolds and <br /> Petunias next to his;her home or to keep them <br /> from growing tomatoes, corn and zucchini in the <br /> garden. Are there any areas with this kind of <br /> restrictions in the county? More importantly, <br /> C135 <br /> most domesticated plants do not compete with <br /> native vegetation. <br /> Dr. Elizabeth McCIintock, a distinguished botanist, <br /> has assembled a list of the most invasive of the <br /> landscaping/gardening species - those with a <br /> tendency to "jump the garden fence". The <br /> Management Plan prohibits theseplants fr , <br /> ranch. If these plants are avoided (prohibited in e <br /> CC and R) then the likelihood of a negative impact <br /> of landscaping vegetation on the native flora will <br /> be avoided. See BRMP p. 59. <br /> A more serious biological concern regards genetic <br /> Pollution of native populations. The introduction <br /> of non-local populations of important native plants <br /> C136 such as oaks and buckeyes could have a negative <br /> impact on the native flora. This concern is <br /> incorporated into Table 8, p 59: Plants restricted <br /> from Buckeye Ranch landscapes and natural areas. <br /> In addition local seed will be used exclusively for <br /> restoration plantings of outcrossing species in <br /> order to maintain the genetic architecture of <br /> native populations. See BRMP p. 60. <br /> III-1L <br />
