MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 26, 1990 money was spent concealing and screening the block exteriors. Those exteriors visible from the public right-of-ways are brick. Bachmeier reported that this is the same concept that he is proposing for the Little Canada project. Bachmeier reported that the impact of the project will be that the buildings are constructed of brick. Bachmeier reviewed the facades of each of the proposed buildings showing how the brick relates to the public's view and the block is screened. Scalze stated that she assumed that all exteriors would be brick and stated that she will have to wait and see the first phase. Scalze pointed out that the Planner's report in referencing the Landscape Ordinance does not include the necessity for tree replacement for those areas covered by parking lot. The City Planner stated that trees lost due to parlcing lots are calculated back into the replacement figures. Scalze asked who would be responsible for enforcement of the Landscape Ordinance. The Planner reported that the developer has had a tree survey done for the property. The Building Inspector will use this survey in enforcing the Landscape Ordinance. Scalze suggested that the City Planner assist the Building Inspector in enforcing the Landscape Ordinance for this project. Scalze pointed out the problems that arose in the Rice at C development and hoped there are no misconceptions on the issue of tree replacement for this project. Scalze pointed out that this is a showcase project for the City, and pointed out the intentions of providing TIF assistance. Scalze stated that she wanted to see as many trees remain on the site as possible. Bachmeier reported that he has been informed many times about the City's Landscape Ordinance. Bachmeier felt that the City would be proud of his project. Upon motion by Blesener, seconded by LaValle, the public hearing was closed. Page 6
