MINUTES CITY COUNCIL December 27, 1989 The Planner replied that his education is in landscape architecture, and his office does this type of review for other cities. Scalze asked about the City's landscape ordinance. The Planner replied that the Ordinance does not require too much, and agreed that it should be more substantial. Scalze felt that Sanders could review the ordinance and make a recommendation on needed changes. Scalze stated that she would like to see Sanders do the landscape reviews, and suggested that the Council take time and think this suggestion over. The Council discussed follow up reviews, and the Planner pointed out that longer term follow up will mean holding security for a longer period of time, and suggested that developers will have difficulty getting bonds for longer than one year periods. However, if a conditional use permit is based on landscaping, the matter can be enforced in that manner. Fahey agreed with Blesener that the suggestion was one more hoop for developers to jump through, and asked the City Planner his feelings. The Planner replied that his office is qualified to do landscapinq reviews. Blesener agreed that the landscaping ordinance needed to be looked at, and suggested that the City Planner review the Ordinance and make recommendations for improving it. Blesener felt Sanders should review the ordinance as well. Fahey agreed that the Planner and Sanders should review the ordinance and make recommendations for its improvement.
