LANDSCAPE ADVISORY GROUP

Everyone has surely noticed the damage sustained by the landscaping at Coronado Shores, a consequence of the mid-January storms. To put the situation in perspective, these were the worst storms in almost anyone’s memory. In fact, the lowest barometric pressure ever
experienced in San Diego was registered during these storms, and winds exceeding 50 knots were recorded at North Island Naval Air Station. Coronado Shores is not alone.  Our nearest neighbors, the Hotel Del Coronado and the Village Center complex across the street and at Coronado Cays along the Strand, also suffered. In short, it was bad. The main culprits were high winds and salt spray, but the damage was highly selective. Areas that were well shielded from the Pacific were hardly affected, and, some plants that were heavily exposed to the elements were not affected at all.  The L&R Manager, the landscape contractor, and members of the Landscape Advisory Group (LAG) have held discussions and have spent time walking around the community surveying the damage, and recording the plants most afflicted and the plants relatively unscathed. We have learned from this experience, and it will serve us well in choosing new or replacement plants in the future. Our landscape contractor has recommended that we allow 2-3 months of recovery time before undertaking any major landscape remediation as he believes many plants will recover. Meanwhile, he is taking proactive steps now to maximize the potential for recovery and minimize the expense. So, do not despair. Beauty will be restored to Coronado Shores.

The LAG welcomes your comments and suggestions.  Please address them to: smithdonevelyn@gmail.com.
