f OROHO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 13, 1990 Mayor Grabek asked Bellows what specific concerns the Planning Commission has regarding the recent request. Bellows replied, "We were assured that all trees that were to be pres Lved would be clearly marked before work began on the site. Th it is not being done. The Planning Commission is concerned because trees cannot be replaced after-the-fact.’’ Mayor Grabek asked staff tc review the concerns raised by Bellows. He asked if the retention pond had been constructed in a manner other than what the developer had proposed. Zoning Administrator Mabusth replied, "The final seeding is lacking from the retention pond area. However, the City did not request the developer to provide plantings. The developer did not provide much detail on the actual retention pond because it was located within the commercial outlet set aside for future development. The City did not expect the pond to be as large as it is. The final plat approval only specified that the developer provide ground cover around the retention pond. In fact. City staff would discourage the use of plantings along one side because of a sighting problem that may be created." Gerhardson added, "The City has not completed its project along the west end of the pond and that is contributing to the unsightliness of the area."
