MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION August 12, 1993 landscaping moved to the top of the berm. Kaufman suggested that someone from the City come out and make a determination of where the best location for the berm would be and Slumberland will construct a berm in that location. Carson asked the size trees that are required by City ordinance. The City Planner replied that evergreens must be a minimum of 6 feet in height, and deciduous trees must be a minimum of 2 inches in caliper. Owen Hyland reported that the trees planted by Slumberland have not grown a foot in the last two years. Hyland stated that he wanted to see screening of the property. DeLonais again described the plan for continuing the berm and raising up the landscaping. Hyland felt that the promises made by Slumberland were a lot different from reality. Kaufman suggested that he and Mr. Hyland meet after the meeting to discuss his concerns. Kaufman stated that, to his knowledge, Slumberland has addressed all Mr. Hyland's past concerns. Garske suggested that Slumberland plant some decent landscaping and be done with it. Garske did not believe the existing landscaping was that good. Garske also suggested that the piles of dirt be removed from the site. The Administrative Assistant reported that the City Administrator has viewed the site and feels it to be well maintained in comparison with other properties in the area. The Administrator also has been impressed with the integrity of the officials he has dealt with at Slumberland, and feels Slumberland has been a good corporate citizen of the City. Knudsen did not believe it would take a lot to clean up the site. Keis suggested that the City work with Slumberland on their landscaping plan. The City Planner suggested that he and the Building Official would work with Slumberland to coordinate ,plant materials and location. This is what was done in the past. Page 14
