MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 27, 1999 TERRACE of the plat subject to compliance with the recommendations of the THIRD ADD. the City Planner and City Engineer, subject to submission of satisfactory grading and landscaping plans, and subject to the insta(lation of additional landscaping on the eastern edge of the berm in conjunction with the expansion of the Slumberland parking lot, but no later than August 1, 2001 if the parking (ot expansion does not occur. Fahey pointed out that the City Engineer has indicated that easements around the perimeter of the plat have not been shown, and asked if that has been resolved. Fahey also expressed concern with the landscaping issue and asked how the City could ensure that the landscaping is completed no later than August 1, 2001. Frank Frattalone, the developer, indicated that he would be willing to post a bond relative to the landscaping issue. Frattalone pointed out that the majority of the berm is already landscaped. The landscaping on the eastern end of the berm has not been done at the request of Slumberland. Slumberland informed him that they are thinking about expanding their parking lot, and asked that the trees not be planted at this time since if the parking lot expansion proceeds, the trees would have to be relocated. Fahey felt that the landscaping issue would need to be addressed in the Development Agreement with a bond requirement. Morelan asked on whose property the berm is located. Frattalone reported that originally the berm was on the Slumberland property. As part of the Pitrina Park development, he made the berm higher and sloped it onto the Pitrina Park property. Frattalone acknowledged that Slumberland existed prior to Pitrina Park, therefore, the burden of providing a buffer was his. Frattalone pointed out, however, that if Slumberland makes changes on their property, then they should have some responsibility for buffering as well. Scalze was concerned that the buffering is on the Slumberland property without any agreement from Slumberland allowing for the maintenance of this buffering. Frattalone pointed out that he has agreed to install the buffering, and felt that Slumberland should not have the ability to remove it.
