Stephenson stated the neighbors are <br /> supportive of this project since it will eliminate the steep slope,and that his intentions are to plant <br /> native grasses and trees in this area to help restore the area back to its natural state. <br /> Mabusth suggested the Applicant discuss the financial guarantee with the contractor. <br /> Weinberger stated the work is not expected to start until mid December, and if the ground is frozen by <br /> then,the hauling of the fill will not be as big of a concern. <br /> Stephenson indicated he has no control over when the fill will be brought in,with the project expecting <br /> to take between five and six days. <br /> Smith inquired whether the impact on the wetland over time would be better or worse with this project. <br /> Weinberger stated the City Engineer has indicated that the rate of water runoff will slow down by <br /> changing the grade in this area. In addition, vegetation will be planted in the areas where currently <br /> there is just dirt,which should help prevent erosion. <br /> Hawn recommended a deadline of May 30, 2002 be required for the landscaping and planting. <br /> Stephenson stated he does not have a problem with that requirement. <br /> Smith inquired whether the Applicant would be planting the same number of trees that will be <br /> removed. <br /> PAGE 8 <br />
