MINUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />AUGUST 13, 1992 <br />Herkenhoff stated that he recalled that neighbors of <br />the site had been complaining that the area needed to <br />be cleaned up. <br />The City Planner replied that there were some <br />complaints two or three years ago, but these had been <br />addressed by Slumberland. <br />Nina Costa, resident of the area, asked about <br />screening. Costa reported that she did not want to <br />look out her windows and see semi - trailers. Costa <br />reported that three years ago when Slumberland first <br />approached the City about semi - trailer parking, she <br />requested screening. Slumberland put up 5 -foot high <br />evergreen trees, which provide no screening. <br />Hagemen reported that Slumberland is proposing to <br />relocate the existing plantings to screen the expanded <br />semi - trailer parking. Hageman suggested that some ash <br />trees could be added to the evergreens. <br />Owen Hyland indicated he represents the property to the <br />south. Hyland reported that the Slumberland site is a <br />mess. Some of the semi - trailers that are there now are <br />in a state of disrepair, and he did not want to see <br />some more junky trailers brought in. <br />Drabik asked if the landscaping approved three years <br />ago was to have included a berm. <br />The Planner recalled that a berm was discussed, but was <br />not made a condition of the landscaping. The Planner <br />pointed out that Slumberland is proposing to move the <br />existing plantings further west to continue the <br />screening. The Planner agreed that the evergreen trees <br />were small and do not provide 100% screening at this <br />time. <br />Costa again stated that she did not want to see <br />semi - trailers from her windows. <br />DeLonais reported that he visited the Slumberland site, <br />and agreed that it is junky. <br />Herkenhoff asked if screening could be provided to <br />satisfy Ms. Costa. <br />Page 2 <br />
