Jindra noted the 25 Commission highly recommends to the City Council the addition of such a lighting system. 26 Koehntop stated, with regard to plantings, the autumn blaze maple proposed along 33rd Avenue 27 are a hybrid of 2 types of maple, and the garden center he contacted was very pleased with them. 28 He added that Jay Hartman had approved this selection, although he would wait until fall to plant 29 the trees. The Commission expressed its agreement of the proposed plantings. 30 Wolff stated the shrub roses proposed around the peripheral wall are not a good choice for that 31 location as people will sit on the walls and may have scratches or cuts from the thorns. She 32 suggested another shrub might be more appropriate. 33 Louiselle stated the shrub roses will be aesthetically pleasing and have a nice smell, and will be above the retaining wall. Jensen stated the issue is not important in his opinion. Jindra stated the shrub roses are hardy and attractive, and will continue to bloom all summer.
