Planning Commission Minutes January 23, 1996 Page 8 . Dale Elliott, 626 8th Street, secretary/treasurer for the Sf. Andrew's Catholic Cemetery, expressed concern for the litter that is generated from some types of businesses such as fast food or convenience store. Harold Gramstad, 19342 King Circle, expressed his opposition to the commercial zoning and would like it to remain residential. There being no other comments from the public, Chair Dillon closed the public hearing. Commissioner Kuester suggested that the City plant an additional tree line next to the existing trees, in case something would happen to the existing trees in the future.

Other members of the Commission expressed their agreement that a commercial zoning designation is appropriate for this area, but that the C3 zoning may be too intense. The Commissioners also were in agreement that every effort be made to preserve the existing trees on the site, as well as establishing an additional tree line as a buffer for the residential property.
