POLICY RECOMMENDER: FISCAL IMPACT: Cost of 3 pine trees.
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff has received a complaint relating to 8085 Hill Trail North. The building official has inspected the property and the owner of the property has agreed to mitigate life safety issues by removing all non-personal tires from his property. His inspection shows required screening of other materials and equipment. There remains a step
van which has been the source of a complaint. It is parked on the owners property and the building official has confirmed that it is tabbed and operates. The right of way adjacent to it is wide enough to allow routine planting of conifers by the City. The staff proposes to add conifers in the City right of way to add additional screening. Cost will not exceed $700.00 RECOMMENDATION: Based on the aforementioned, the staff recommends the planting of 3 trees in the right of way at 8085 Hill Trail.
