Planning Commission Page 6 <br /> March 10,2020 <br /> Mr. Carpenter stated he would be willing to prepare a landscaping plan to present to III <br /> the City Council meeting and noted it's his preference to ensure adequate screening. <br /> Mr. Leeseberg asked the Planning Commission if they would like to include a <br /> condition requiring a landscape plan be presented to the City Council for their <br /> review. <br /> Commissioner Thiel agreed with Mr. Leeseberg's proposal and stated this is a <br /> common concern for development,noting individual property owners can also <br /> provide their own screening. He stated if the builder was willing, he would prefer to <br /> have natural landscaping placed as fencing can be a maintenance nightmare. <br /> Mr. Carpenter stated he is currently working with the adjacent property owner to <br /> propose landscaping that would straddle the property line to ensure the trees that are <br /> planted survive. <br /> Chair Johnson stated he would prefer a vegetative landscaping plan. <br /> The Planning Commission added Condition 8 to provide a landscaping plan to the <br /> City Council that includes vegetative screening to the west and south. <br /> Mike Monhanan,who spoke at the February 25, 2020,Planning Commission <br /> meeting on behalf of the property owner who lives south of the proposed III <br /> development, again expressed his concerns with the drainage area needing fencing to <br /> protect children living in the area. He asked that if a fence isn't proposed that the <br /> applicant take the same considering to the neighbor to the south and provide <br /> landscaping to prevent encroachment. <br /> Mr. Carpenter explained he would provide some landscaping to the south due to <br /> disrepair of the detached garage on that adjacent property. He explained the <br /> screening he was proposing will focus on lots 4-6 as there is a shallow grassy <br /> drainage swale. He indicated the lot sales will be targeted to someone who doesn't <br /> want to move into a townhome but still wants to have a boat and mow their own <br /> grass on a smaller sized property, noting there probably wouldn't be smaller children <br /> living there. <br /> There being no one else to speak, Chair Johnson closed the public hearing. <br /> Moved by Commissioner Larson-Vito and seconded by Commissioner Beise <br /> to recommend approval for a request by Jethro Carpenter for a Zone Change <br /> from Ric to Planned Unit Development (PUD) with the condition that a PUD <br /> agreement must be approved by the City Council prior to recording the Zone <br /> Change. <br /> Motion carried 5-0.
