Minutes - 1993 - Design Review - 10/27/1993 - Regular EAGLE CITY LANDSCAPING REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES October 27, 1993 Those in attendance: Tal Trautman, Kelli Blair, Carol West, Barbara Montgomery, Pete Centorino, and Meg Roberts, (representing The Land Group. Absent: Meredith Carnahan, Laura Markham SUBJECTS TO DISCUSS: KINGS DEPARTMENT STORE - REVIEW OF PROJECT: The Committee members and Tom King discussed the landscaping portion of the Kings Dept. Store project. The arborvitae on the west side of the project will be kept trimmed, and may be removed once the site is built out in that location. On the E boundary, the residential area, Mr. King will plant a total of 39 or 40 additional arborvitae, like kind and size, for screening. Mr. King will review the planting area where the sign will be placed, after the sign has been installed. Mr. King suggested he would plant shrubs in that area. The committee suggested the area should have shrubs but should also have color. Bulbs would add color in the spring and should be planted now. After the bulbs are finished blooming, annuals should be planted for summer and fall colors. Mr. King agreed with that arrangement. Bob's Trolley Restaurant: Bob Copeland graveled the entire lot over the grass area, between the existing parking lot and State Street. ITD will permit an encroachment on the area only if the City agrees with the plan. Mr. Copeland agreed that the gravel W9~ld not work, but will be coming in next spring with a plan for ßxpansion of the restaurant, parking lot and a new landscaping plan. The Committee explained to him that it would be necessary to have planting areas along with the expansion of the restaurant and parking lot he plans. He agreed to begin the plans and be ready for submittal of the plans by April 1, 1994. He will follow up with a letter to the City advising us of the expansion after this meeting. He was told he would need to submit plans to the City Council for Design Review consideration. ASBELL PROJECT: The Committee continued this plan until the owner, Don Asbell finalized the plans and submitted them to the Committee. The final plans were presented at this meeting and approved as presented. Mr. Asbell was complimented on the landscaping within the project. REDWOOD CREEK SUBDIVISION-PHASE 1: The entrance to the subdivision was reviewed. As the project progresses it will be necessary for the Committee to review additional plans for common areas and park sites. The entrance includes a 6 ft berm along the S border of phase 1. The subdivision does include a pressurized irrigation system including the common areas. The deciduous trees will be a 2 inch caliper and 6 ft. pines, the berm will have a "meandering" design. (see plans for specifics) EDGEWOOD SUBDIVISION-PHASE 1: The entrance only. The Committee questioned the entrance design as it includes a small island in the middle of the road entrance, but no landscaping areas on each side with the exception of 2 building lots on each side. Since those lots would be owned by property owners there was concern about planting in that area now as though it was a common area. Those concerns were expressed to the landscaper, Far West Landscaping, representing Ron Leslie tonight. Other conditions of approval were: 1. All deciduous trees adjacent to sidewalk areas must have an approved root control barrier. 2. All landscape areas sq. footage are to remain as shown on the plan except the landscaping of common areas to the N side of the entrance to be increased to the same width as the S side. 3. Must have an approved irrigation system for all common areas. 4. A new plan must be submitted including all common areas, park sites as well as the entrances for the Committee approval. (see plan for specifics) The Committee agreed to add a new member to the Committee. The Land Group will have a representative of their firm as a Committee representative. There are 3 members of the Land Group. They will take turns attending the meetings. Those members are: Dave Koga, Meg Roberts and Phil Hull. ARBORETUM: Some of the trees will be planted tomorrow. The tree portion of the project will be completed in about 2 weeks. It will be necessary to arrange for watering at least 3 times this fall. Carol West agreed to call a boy scout troop to water when needed. They should be watered when planted, again in 2 weeks and finally around Thanksgiving. The Committee agreed that the report should be regarded as minutes and maintained in the same manner.
