MINUT~S <br />CTTY COUNCIL <br />iVIAY 29,1998 <br />Fahey noted that it would not be in Mr. Olson's best interests to remove <br />all the trees, since that will make the site less attractive. <br />Olson indicated that he would remove the trees he has to in the area of <br />construction. Olson again pointed out that there will be no construction in <br />the south portion of the site, and that area will be left in its natural state. <br />Pardo pointed out that the plan shows a proposed fence. Olson replied that <br />if the townhome association wants a fence, it would be their privilege to <br />have one. Morelan noted that the property could be fenced regardless of <br />whether the townhome development is constructed. <br />Pardo asl<ed what Olson planned to do on her property. Olson replied that <br />he would not be allowed to do anytl~ing on the Pardo property, and all <br />activity will be eonfined to his site. Exc~vation will occur for the building <br />and the utility seivices. <br />Pardo asked for a guarantee that the trees behind her house would not be <br />removed. Olson again indicated that he had i~o plans to do anything with <br />the property south of the sanitary sewer easement. <br />Ivtorelan noted that the owner of the property could remove trees from the <br />site now if they wanted. However, there is no reason to remove trees <br />unnecessarily since that would make the property less attractive. <br />Fahey suggested that a condition of the Conditional Use Permit could be <br />that no additional construction on tl~e site would be allowed other than the <br />4-unit townhome building. <br />Olson pointed out that there would be a townhome association. The <br />townhome units would be owned individually, while the remainder of the <br />site will be in common ownership. <br />Fahey suggested that placing a restriction on building on the portion of the <br />parcel south of the sewer easement would make it clear for the record. <br />Pardo indicated tliat slie does not want her backyard ruined. <br />Olson i~~dicated tl~at he does not want to touch any trees other than what is <br />necessa~y for construction and for the finished grade around the <br />townhomes. Olson pointed out thlt he is preparing a landscape plan for <br />tl~e site in response to tl~e City's tree replacement ordinance. <br />Pardo informed Olson that she would be watching the construction to <br />e~~sure that the stltements made by Olson are correct. Olson ~ave Pardo <br />his card and asked her to call him if she had any concerns. <br />
