Area Board of Zoning Appeals—December 5, 2012 <br /> MS. NAYDER: Can I ask a question about the landscaping. You said like they may be in the parkway so <br /> does that mean you will be working with the Board of Public Works locating them if they're technically on <br /> the site? <br /> MR. DANCH: And I work with the forester all the time,the City forester. And over on Hill Street there's a <br /> set of trees that are to the south of us and also to the north where the St. Joe High School has their other <br /> parking lot and there are no utilities at that location so I can put trees at those locations and on St. Louis in <br /> the parking lot area, we'll just rip up some of the cross hatched areas where they have some asphalt and we'l l <br /> put some trees there as well. <br /> MR. URBANSKI: I'd like to compliment you and St. Joe High School, design committee, I guess is the <br /> word I want to say, and who put this all together because I think it's fantastic looking and it's a great <br /> addition to our city. <br /> MR. DANCH: It's amazing the campus they have. <br /> MR. URBANSKI: And the other thing is in knowing some of the people involved is that area south of the <br /> parking lot their goal eventually is to acquire to encompass everything all the way to the intersection of Hill <br /> and LaSalle. <br /> MR. DANCH: That was my understanding also. I think they were working with some of the property <br /> owners down there. <br /> MR. PHIPPS: You say that you were going to be putting some interior trees into the parking lot? <br /> MR. DANCH: Because Jerry, on the west side of St. Louis usually we'll put perimeter trees in that parkway <br /> area, there is two street lights with overhead wires. So AEP doesn't let me do that. So what I'll do is I'll <br /> move those perimeter trees into the parking lot area. You can see right at the southeast corner of the parking <br /> lot and right on the north side of the entrance drive that is on St. Louis and then up at the corner of Madison <br /> and St. Louis I can put trees there. <br /> MR. PHIPPS: Did we in earlier variances give a variance on interior trees in that parking lot to the ...? <br /> MR. DANCH: We did. And we allowed that to happen. Actually what happens is when count the trees <br /> here on the rest of the campus we had asked for variance from spacing to 80' for the trees. With the number <br /> that I'd be adding here, with 8 trees, we would be technically at a spacing of like 85'. So we're pretty close <br /> to what was done with the rest of the campus. <br /> MR. PHIPPS: It doesn't look like you've got much room along Hill Street with any trees... <br /> 31 <br />
