C. Board Discussion and Action:
o Speaker indicated concern about safety of children ' s
play island (Phase I) . Specifically, the ability of
the proposed berm and landscaping to prevent children
from running into the street.
o Kline (applicant) felt the site was safe with its
present landscaping, but indicated that he would be
open and receptive to any modifications proposed.
o McMonagle also questioned the safety of the play
island and felt the incorporation of fire thorns in
the berm plantings would create a natural barrier and
would stop children from running into the street.
o Olson questioned the use of fire thorns and felt some
other plantings might be more effective.
o McMonagle asked other board members to specify size
and type of planting.
o Olson proposed the use of a general terminology "thorny
plant barrier" with the specific planting left to the
discretion of the landscape architect and then to be
approved by Planning Department.
o Speaker and McMonagle agreed with general terminology.
o McMonagle moved to approve phase one contingent upon
the incorporation of the staff report recommendations
and the modification of the play island ' s landscaping.
Specifically, a thorny plant barrier on the end radii
of the play island as well as the side bordering
Morning Hill Dirve.
o Olson seconded the motion.
Motion passed unanimously.
o Chase asked about the feasibility of having the future
phase developments approved by the planning staff?
o Olson, Speaker and McMonagle felt this was a fair
request and accepted the idea, as long as , the quality
of development was comparable to Phase I .
o McMonagle moved that the planning staff would review
all subsequent phases of development for approval.
o Olson seconded the motion, motion passed unanimously.
o McMonagle requested that the minutes be forwarded to
Cook for approval.
