The Hennepin County application was approved. <br />Mabusth reported that at the August 12, 2002 Council meeting, Attorney Galatz, for <br />Stephenson's neighbor, brought in a sample of the size tree being planted on the slope. Which, <br />in fact, seemed quite adequate to many of the Council members. The City Council incorporated <br />some of the language from the Attorney's original document and approved the application. <br />Gaffron added that the Stephenson's were required to plant 35 trees, including maples. The <br />slope had settled enough by this point, that the slope was no longer an issue. <br />Mabusth reported that Landform was directed to work with staff to resolve outstanding issues, <br />draft a resolution, which approves their concept plans. <br />PAGE 26 of28
