M Choitz: Yeah, from the street. That is the street side... Brown: This is Riverside, and this is Lafayette, this is the parking lot Choitz: OI; I'm sorry, I had it turned around. No, I thought that you couldn't see in therefrom along Lafayette Street. Brown: Yes, these are all there... Choitz: I see why I was wrong, I read it wrong. Brown: When Brent and I talked about the new ones, we talked about a 2 inch minimum, but it depends on budget and what the city can afford. The Park Department will be buying it out of their own budget, but I know that with Brent watching and planting them he's going to baby them along, but I'm sure that they're going to try to get the biggest plants possible. Klusczinski: Any other questions? I open the public hearing. Anyone in the public wishing to speak in support of the current petition? Hearing none, is there anyone wishing to speak in opposition? Also hearing none, I close public hearing. Any other final comments? Sporleder: I don't know if the C ofA needs to be amended because we're goingfrom 17 evergreen trees to 12 and S others? Hostetler: It should be amended because it is a landscape landmark. Sporleder: I'll offer the amendment that changes the trees from 17 evergreens to 12 bald cypress and the listed deciduous trees. Brown: Here is the email that I got from Brent that lists the trees. Klusczinski: Yes, that's important. Brown: Well, he picked them out, and I think that he looked at the existing trees on the north side and is looking for some younger trees to replace some, that will eventually have to be removed. Klusczinski: There's a motion on the floor. Sporleder: Which hasn't been seconded, it's a motion to amend. Klusczinski: Yes, a motion to amend to include 12 cypress in place of those 17 evergreens and to allow for the 5 deciduous that Brent Thompson chose. Zeiger: Second. Klusczinski: All in favor?
