• • PLANNING AND ZONING MINUTES JULY 13, 1988 for 214 vehicles would be provided in two bituminous, curbed parking lots. The parking lots would be screened with two rows of conifers planted along Lilac Street. A preliminary review of the plan was completed by the Planning and Zoning Board at its June 8 meeting. The unapproved minutes of that meeting state: "The Planning and Zoning Board commented that the site plans were acceptable. They want additional screening at the sides of the property and in front of the parking lots." Bob Bauman the architect for the VFW, was present to discuss the VFW site plan. MOTION: Prokop moved the site plan approval for Lino Lakes VFW Post 6583 Application 88 -13 be recommended for approval to the City Council as presented with the following changes: Trees serving as screens on the west and east sides shall be planted with conifers 24 inches high. One row on each side. The trees screening the parking lot adjacent to Lilac Street shall be 24 inch Austrian Pines and in 2 rows planted as diagramed in the site plan. The two additional islands located as Planner mentioned be included. A Russian Olive shall be planted in each island. Any parking lot lights should be hooded to prevent glare onto adjacent property. The sidewalk and curb areas leading from the driveway to the parking area (the things that look like golf clubs) shall have a sign indicating "parking" or they should have some vegetation. (This is a traffic control device to keep people from driving over the curb.) Crohn seconded the motion and the motion was carried with Averbeck and Nelson voting no. These members felt the landscaping was inadequate.
