He noted that the outlot is designated as mixed use-development and they would be looking at a retail center and office space. Councilmember Strommen inquired if there were some guarantees that density transition and landscaping issues are being addressed. Associate Planner Wald replied that those issues were addressed as part of preliminary plat approval. Councilmember Strommen inquired if the City was using the most cUrrent tree list when reviewing landscaping plans. Associate Planner Wald explained that staff had not used the list currently drafted by the' Environmental Policy Task Force, but all the species being proposed are included on that list. Councilmember Kurak inquired if the extension of Ramsey BoUlevard will encroach on the County property.
