Mr. Winges stated that as the process moves forward, he would try to use the access point off of TH 61 <br />as much as possible. <br />McRoberts asked if the access off of TH 61 could be constructed sooner so the site could be accessed <br />from 127tH <br />Bear stated that there is a likelihood that the entire site would be constructed at the same time. <br />Mr. Winges went back to the landscape plan and stated that he is very sensitive to providing a buffer for <br />the neighborhood and has been working with staff on the plan. He directed Leitz to discuss this further. <br />Leitz stated that the trees on the east side of the property will likely all have to come down with the <br />proposed grading plan. She stated that to accommodate this, staff and the applicant had been working <br />on providing a landscape buffer to properties to the east and to the south. She named the number and <br />variety of trees proposed on the back (east) side of the property and stated that the applicant had made <br />significant changes to the grading plan, which has helped save many trees to the north. <br />Jeff Lutz, 12760 Ferrara Ave., approached the podium. He asked for clarification that all of the trees <br />from 127th St. to the end of the proposed structure would likely be taken down. <br />Leitz stated that those trees will most likely all be taken down, unless some sort of accommodating of <br />grading can happen when site construction occurs. <br />Mr. Lutz asked if the grading would be brought up to the level of the back yards. <br />Leitz stated that was correct and that she recalled that the grade would be brought up around 2-3 feet. <br />Mr. Lutz asked about the size of the trees that would be planted. He stated that the trees that are <br />currently on site provide a huge buffer for the Beaver Ponds neighborhood and the landscape buffer is <br />one of the biggest concerns for the residents along that east property line. <br />McRoberts asked if Leitz could repeat the number and species of trees proposed in the back (east) of the <br />site. <br />Leitz stated that there were 5 Black Hill Spruce, 4 White Pine Birch, 5 Autumn Purple Ash, 2 River <br />Birch, and 2 Hackberries. <br />McRoberts encouraged that the applicant go a little heavier on conifers, particularly the Black Hill <br />Spruce, as these trees do not lose leaves in the fall and winter and can still provide a good screen. <br />Mr. Winges approached the podium and said that the trees were 6-8 foot trees. <br />Leitz then began to answer other questions from residents. She stated that the City requires approved <br />construction and landscape plans. Approved construction plans are given to the building official and <br />when inspections occur on properties, the building inspector makes sure the plans are being followed. <br />Leitz also described that she is required to go to the site and make sure every bush and tree is planted <br />according to the landscape plan. She stated that no certificate of occupancy will be granted until the site <br />matches the plans. <br />Mr. Lutz asked if those are the requirements, what happened to the development to the south. <br />
