<br />City Council Minutes <br />May 17,1999 <br /> <br />Page 9 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The Council, staff, and the developer discussed alternatives for saving trees along <br />the trail, including reducing the width of the trail, and/or meandering through the <br />trees and slightly into the right-of-way. <br /> <br />Further discussion followed regarding replacing trees based on the caliper of the <br />tree that is lost (example, replacing a 12" caliper tree with six 2" caliper trees). Mr. <br />Caswell stated that the problem with this plan is there is no place to put that <br />many trees. A citizen in the audience spoke to say that it is not realistic to <br />replace trees in this manner and they need to look how large the replacement <br />trees will be at maturity. Councilmember Motin suggested that excess trees <br />could be placed on other property, such as city parks. <br /> <br />There being no further public comment Mayor Klinzing closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER FARBER MOVED TO APPROVE THE REQUEST BY MEADOWV ALE <br />BUILDERS FOR A REZONING FROM R1C (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) TO PUD <br />(PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT), PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO.
