Staff did a comprehensive review of the site to check compliance with the original PUD and determined Otten Bros, landscaping and the uses on the property arc in compliance with the past PUD approvals. Staff docs agree that the area of the site visible from Dickey I ake Drive, especially near the parking lot and north of the rock bins, needs attcnl ’on in order to provide more effective screening. Lot 2 is fairly well screened to both the lots to the north and I lighwny 12. However, a significant amount of the screening of the Walvatnc property (710 Dickey Lake Drive) is by vegetation on the adjacent property vs. the evergreens initially planted by Otten.
