Mr. Feltz noted a problem could develop if the original developer
sold the property before the landscaping was completed.
Mr. Mahoney stated a tree size could be three inches or three feet
and that we require separate architectural drawings to determine suit-
ability of landscaping. He said that if finances are tight, landscaping
Is one of the first things ignored by the developer.
Mr. Wilson stated they could obtain suitable landscape plans .
Mr. Mahoney noted that a landscaping berm should also be provided
between the parking lot and buildings . He said we wanted protection for
people so that cars pulling into driveways do not shine lights into
windows and also in shielding dumpsters .
It was determined that the landscaping plans should include:
1 ) name of tree 2) diameter of tree 3) number of trees 4) positioning
of trees and 5) location and size of berms.
Mr. Langland then moved that we recommend to the city council
approval of the final plat and engineering drawings pending approval
by the city engineer and pending submission of landscaping plans to the
plan commission drawn by a landscape architect or professional landscaper.
Seconded by Mr. Woodworth.
Dr. Coleman asked for discussion. It was noted that if the city
recommends approval, Dr. Coleman could sign the final plat after the
landscape plans had been reviewed, to be followed by the mayor' s
signature .
A voice vote was taken with all plan commission members voting aye.
Motion carried .
79 .8 Application for Subdivision - Horton Subdivision - Van Emmon Street

was to satisfy the plat act of the city. He said that Lbt 1 contained
12,000 square feet and that there was already in existence on the
property a one story frame building. The property could not be sold
now as it does not meet the requirements of the plat act.
Mr. Langland then moved to recommend to the city council that the
Subdivision Plat be accepted for purposes of satief,ying the plat act.
