MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION APRIL 10, 1997 in the road. Because of this jog it is likely there will be a couple less townhomes on the site. Frattalone reported that Mrs. Schroeder owns the two parcels north of his land and south of the Slumberland property. Frattalone reported that he is negotiating with her to purchase this property. He has her permission to do soil tests and a wetland evaluation on the property. Frattalone estimated that about one -third to one -half of the property is wetland; therefore, it may be possible to develop another eight buildings or 16 units on this land.

The City "Planner asked if Frattalone had done a wetland evaluation of his parcel. Frattalone replied that he did some testing.

Frattalone reported that there are portions of the Slumberland berm which he believes have been cut down and there are no plantings on. If Slumberland does not intend to fix the berm, Frattalone reported that he would purchase some plantings to add to the berm. Frattalone felt the addition of some pine trees to the berm would make a great buffer. Keis pointed out that screening is required between Residential and Industrial property. Since the proposal is to rezone to R -2, Keis asked who would be responsible for the screening. The Planner indicated that Slumberland abuts Industrial property.

Frattalone pointed out that he would offer to pay for the addition of plantings on the existing berm. Frattalone also reported that the wetland area on the Schroeder property is wooded and will provide a great buffer for the area.
