a. Review of Landscaping Plan: Lots9 & 12, Aleyeska S/D - Kambe
........... ~__Theat. er .... r_~ Mr., ..... Douq .... S.ale:s ................................................ ' ........... ~m~mL~ ~ .............................
Mr. Sales p~esented a drawing which depicted 12.7% of the total square
footage of the p~operty landscaped. Mr. Sales wished to dec,ease that
amount as he had not had a chance to ~eview the plans before submittal
to the City. M~. Sales and the owners desire to begin construction/
~enovation of ~he building tomorrow as the weathe~ is mild enough to
allow an early start.
The east and west bo~ders of the p~operty show an unbroken line of
t~ees, the Board and M~. Sales agreed to cluste~ the t~ees in g.~oups
of 2 and ) eliminating the line. The west bo~der o~ lot 9 has a la~ge
sign which would be hidden, therefore the tree cluste~ will be at the
no~th end of the median strip. The north side of the p~ope~ty lies on
a public utility easement and at one time was used fo~ an alley fo~
the old post office. Since traffic has used this alley, any trees
would have a ha~d time surviving.. M~. Sales p~oposes to cluste~ }
t~ees on the west corne~ of lot 9.

BOARD QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
Howard Hackney ~efe~red to a new section of the o~dinance which
~equires deveIopers to come before the Board when a building permit
involves $10,000. An example is Don Aase who came before ~he Board in
November. M~. Aase obtained a pe~mi~ fo~ the foundation oniy and now
wilI come back fo~ a permit fo~ the ~est of the building which wili
exceed the $10,000. While it is another permit, it is a continuation
of the same buiiding already ~eviewed by the Board. The code does no~
define situations such as ~his.
It was the consensus of the Board that the plan had already been
reviewed and approved, therefore to ensure no confusion in the matter,
the .plat was again sign and dated 2/11/86.
?. AD3OURNMENT
