POLICY AGENDA <br />AUTHORIZATION TO REMOVE A TREE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AT 1607 <br />MAPLE KNOLL DRIVE <br />Administrator Hoyt explained that the property owner, Mr. Betz, is requesting the <br />city to remove a tree from his property because it was damaged and died as a <br />result of a retaining wall that was put in during the 1991 street project. <br />Administrator Hoyt said that this would be a clear exception to city policy <br />because the tree was so severely damaged during the street project which the <br />forester documented. Cost of removal is $800.00. Councilmember Jacobs <br />moved approval and motion passed unanimously. <br />UPDATE ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />Administrator Hoyt reviewed the key criteria to be updated in the city's <br />comprehensive plan. These included readdressing the designation of the future <br />uses in the agricultural research fields north of Larpenteur Avenue to provide for <br />more flexibility for future planning. It also will include the possible increase in <br />housing density at Commonwealth Terrace and tree development of the <br />wetlands to the east of this area as open space as noted in the U of M draft <br />Master Plan. No formal action was required. <br />Items 3 and 4 on the agenda were delayed due to the absence of <br />Councilmember Hustad and Aslesen. <br />ADJOURN <br />Meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. <br />Susan L. Gehrz, Mayor <br />Susan Hoyt, Acting Recording Secretary <br /> <br />~s ~~ <br />
