1.
Zuercher
Presentation by Peggy Zuercher. This item was presented for
design review only, as landscape plans are not yet available.
Design Review application was approved as presented. The
landscaping application was continued until such time as the plans
are made available - Peggy anticipated it would be toward the end
of the summer or early fall.
2.
Swanson
This is a revisitation of the conditions of approval attached
to the original application.
*
Mr. Swanson obtained permission to place the western line
of shrubs on the church property, but he decided he would
put them on his property anyway. This is what the
committee had originally preferred. The shrubs will be
inside the fence, and will be junipers as stated in the
conditions of approval.
*
Mr. Swanson was hesitant to grass and maintain the area
from the property line to the pavement, and said he "will
do it when Circle H puts it right, II referring to the
damage apparently done by their trucks. The committee
reminded Mr. Swanson that whether or not Circle H was a
*
good neighbor, he was required to maintain that area as
a part of his project, and that the committee required
seeding, watering and mowing in the area in question.
Mr. Swanson agreed to obtain an encroachment permit and
perform the necessary maintenance.
The distance from the new entrance to the existing road
was questioned. Mr. Swanson stated that it was 25 feet,
which is within legal requirements.
3.
Idaho Power
Presented a plan for the substation on State Street across
from City Hall. Discussion: extensive use of gravel as ground
cover may not be appropriate - investigate availability of water
and maintenance options and consider using grass¡ noted 30 feet
height restriction on trees due to overhead lines¡ wood-slatted
chain link fence in front for screening. This committee stated
that "low maintenance" landscaping was acceptable, but 50 yards of
gravel is not.
Idaho Power will obtain additional information and will submit
a new landscaping plan at the regularly scheduled June meeting.
4.
Bob's Trolley
We have had no response from Mr. Copeland to our requests that
he complete the agreed-upon landscaping. The committee authorized
a letter be sent to the property owner (Harlan Jensen?) stating the
problem and requesting his assistance in moving things along, with
a copy of the letter to be sent to Mr. Copeland.
5.
Golf Magic
No response to letters. They have indicated in the past that
there have been problems with plants being stolen. The committee
requested members perform a physical review of the proj ect to check
for signs that the owners are trying to comply with the landscaping
plan. If it appears they are not, the Chairman is authorized to
send a demand letter to them.
6.
General Discussion
Add to next Agenda - additional landscape codes from other
cities: Boise, Coeur d'Alene, etc.
Respectfully submitted:
Kelli G. Blair, Secretary
Eagle city Landscaping committee
Approved:
Laura Markham, Chairman
