Aufust Grosslein, 13554 Tungsten appeared to ask for a <br /> variance to the setback requirements. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox asked Mr. Grosslein about plantin~ of shrubs. <br /> <br />Mr. Grosslein said he has been adding onto the building and if <br />he keeps adding on he doesn't think he would want to put in <br />shrubs, because he would have to keep moving them. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox said he could put in a few shrubs and trees near the <br />outer area of his lot to improve the appearance out of proper <br />respect to the people that live across the street. He said this <br />was discussed at length before. It was agreed by to him before <br />Council and Plannin~ & Zoning at an earlier meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Grosslein said he did a~ree. All the building he has been <br />doing has made it hard to consider landscaping. If this is <br />the concern, he could plant some lombardies. <br /> <br />Councilman Gorham stated that it was agreed that Mr. Grosslein <br />would level off and plant a buffer. <br /> <br />Mayor Cox thinks in fairness he should live up to his agreement. <br /> <br />Mr. Grosslein said this spring he would have it leveled off <br />and get somethina planted. <br /> <br /> <br />
