The applicant is proposing to plant a total of 25 Spruce and Russian Olive trees around the <br />perimeter of the site. Since the facility will be highly visible from the future 143~d Avenue, Staff <br />is recommending a more detailed landscape plan which shows more variety and additional plant <br />material. Any variety of Dogwood should be considered as a substitute for the Russian Olive. In <br />addition, turfed areas need to be designated; or if native (mowed) vegetation is to be used, this <br />will need to be specified. <br /> <br />There is a similar conditional use in the City on the south side of 153rd Avenue, just west of <br />Germanium Street. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />City Staff recommends approval of the request including delaying the paving and curbing <br />improvements until I43rd Avenue is improved, but requiring a more intensive landscape plan and <br />verification of legal access easements. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council adopt findings of fact relating to Connexus' request for <br />a conditional use permit for an electrical substation. <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council approve Connexus' request for a conditional use permit <br />for an electrical substation and adopt a resolution declaring terms of same, contingent upon <br />modifying the Landscape Plan. <br /> <br />-or- <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that City Council deny the request for a conditional use permit for an <br />electrical substation from Connexus based on the findings of fact. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />Community Development Director <br />City Engineer <br />Parks and Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />PC: 09/07/99 <br /> <br />Copies To: <br />City Attorney <br />Public Works Director/Fire Chief <br /> <br /> <br />
