SUBJECTS TO DISCUSS: GREAT SKY ESTATES: Representative of the subdivision/Mike Miller The subdivision will be designed with walls on the State Street side of the project and street entry ways. Those walls will be covered with a climbing, flowering vine. The covenants require 2 trees per lot. The trees in the common/park areas and entrance to the subdivision will be 2 inch caliper and will be one or more of the following variety: Autumn Purple Ash, Emerald Queen Maple, Patmore Ash or Scarlet Oak. Any of those varieties are acceptable to the Committee. The project will include a low granite sign with the subdivision name on it, the entrance will include underground lighting. The entrance island will contain annual flowers and the median island landscaping will include: Ornamental Plum with flowers. The tree landscaping will run down the island. The i!:~Jand is approximately 8 ft wide and 60 to 70 ft long. The Austrian pine will be on both sides of the landscaped entrance alQng with dogwood and miscellaneous low flowering ~hrubs. The State Street frontage will include Ash shade trees and Hawthorne, completing the ornamental line of trees. -- RICKS RIVER RIDGE: Representative of the subdivision/Rick Roe This subdivision will also include a granite sign (both sides) complete with the subdivision name, and will incorporate flowers on each side. The trees planned for the area are Crimson King Maple. All pine trees planned for the area will be 7 to 8 ft tall. The Committee wanted at least 7 more deciduous trees added to the plans for the walkway to the playground instead of so many shrubs. The shrubs will get lost in such a big area. The Committee also asked for additional screening along the fence line on the south side of the property. TREASURE VALLEY FEED AND SEED (EAGLE FEED AND SEED) Rocky Towle from Design Resources presented the project to the Committee This is a retail and wholesale business. The Committee found the plan to be incomplete. There needs to be more screening along the State Street side. Mr. Towle agreed to have a final plan by Friday. Members will look at the plan Monday in order to make a final decision before the Council on Dec. 14. There was a brief discussion on the arboretum. The Committee discussed the possibility of incorporating the Design Review Committee and the Landscaping Committee since they do overlap. The unanimous decision was to work toward incorporated the two with the understanding there would be portions of the Design Review that would be staff and/or Council approval only. The Cowman property trees were discussed. Pete Cinerino would like to have some basis to declare the trees historical. We will contact the Cowman's for information. The meeting concluded at 9:20 p.m. Member
