MINUTES CITY COUNCIL October 11, 1989 Hyland pointed out that the berm was part of the original approval. Hyland was concerned that the landscapinq proposed would not hide the view of the trailer parking area from the homes on Centerville Road. Fahey stated that he was not in favor of requirinq the trailer-parking area to be screened from the homes on Centerville Road pointing out that these homes are in an industrial area and are non-conforming uses. However, Fahey felt the parking area should be screened from the residential area to the east. Fahey asked when the landscaping would be installed. Kaufman replied that the landscaping would not be done until spring, however, Slumberland would put up a bond to guarantee that the work was done. Fahey felt that requiring a landscaped berm along the east property line and around the south side of the building was not unreasonable. Fahey also felt that a bond should be required for the landscaping. Fahey indicated that the berm should extend as far north as the last residential home to the east of the Slumberland building. Kaufman pointed out that if a berm is required, a double row of trees would not be feasible, however, the length of the berm could be extended and the line of trees spread out further. Fahey agreed, and suggested that the City Planner work with Slumberland on the landscaping plan. Fahey asked if the City could require larger trees than 5 to 7 feet. The City Planner replied that most nurseries do not have much larqer stock than 5 to 7 foot evergreens. Hyland asked about clean up of the site. Vitale reported that the majority of the debris has been cleaned up and only the concrete is on the site along with a dump truck. Kaufman replied that the dump truck belongs to Larry Lee, and he will contract Lee about removal of the truck. The concrete will be broken down and used for sub-base under the parking lot. Page 8
