Mr. Brixius also suggested addition of a 14th condition, being that a solid row of conifer trees along the south edge of the buffer yard, as well as irrigation system, and maintenance plan be provided.

Mr. Johnson requested that Section 1.B. of the ordinance amendment be changed to reflect inclusion of the buffer yard within the minimum setback area.
