PLANT Council reviewed the request of Viking Drive residents PARTNERSHIP for participation in the Minnesota Department of PROGRAM Transportation's Plant Partnership Program. This program allows for the planting of trees and shrubs on highway right-of-way provided the City sponsors the maintenance of the plant materials. The Viking Drive residents have agreed to provide this maintenance. The City Administrator suggested if the project proves successful, the City may want to promote it to other neighborhoods in the City which abut freeways. One of the Viking Drive residents asked if it would be their responsibility to remove any trees which may be blown down in a storm or tornado. Fahey replied that the language of the agreement would require residents to provide maintenance and replacement, if necessary. It was the consensus of the Council that should such a catastrophe occur the City would be willing to discuss the options with the property owners. Another resident asked if enterinq into this agreement would preclude the construction of a sound barrier if funding becomes available in the future. Council agreed that was a possibility, but pointed out it has been many years since a sound barrier was constructed in Little Canada. The Viking Drive residents indicated they would like to participate in the program and asked for the City's endorsement. Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 96-8-201 - AUTHORIZING APPLICATION BY 8
