also directed Staff to research what some of Ramsey's peer communities require for landscaping in industrial areas <br />and bring this information forward at a future meeting to review and possibly consider amendments to the <br />landscaping requirements in the Employment Districts. <br />Alternatives <br />Alternative 1: Adopt Resolution #19-281 approving the revised Landscape Plan. While the revised Landscape Plan <br />does reduce the overall number of plantings on the Subject Property, those reductions primarily occur along the <br />boundaries where future industrial development will occur. There was a conscious effort not to alter the appearance <br />from the public street and not to reduce the plantings within the buffer area abutting the existing residential parcel <br />to the west. Staff supports this alternative. <br />Alternative 2: Do not approve the revised Landscape Plan. If the City Council does not support the request to <br />reduce the plantings as proposed, the project will need to proceed with the previously approved Landscape Plan. <br />The approved Landscape Plan will likely result in the need to remove plantings in the future as trees/shrubs grow. <br />Furthermore, there may also be some conflict with various winter maintenance activities (e.g. snow plowing/snow <br />storage). The EPB noted a concern about possible precedence but were confident that would be addressed as the <br />City reviews its current landscape requirements and contemplates potential amendments to those requirements. <br />Staff does not support this alternative. <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with this request are the Applicant's responsibility. <br />Recommendation: <br />The EPB recommends approving the revised Landscape Plan. <br />Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #19-281 approving the revised Landscape Plan for Delta ModTech. <br />Attachments <br />Site Location Map <br />Approved Landscape Plan <br />Proposed Revised Landscape Plan <br />Comparison of the Two Plans <br />DRAFT EPB Meeting Minutes Dated November 18, 2019 <br />Resolution #19-281: Revised Landscape Plan <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Tim Gladhill Tim Gladhill 12/05/2019 09:07 AM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 12/05/2019 09:46 AM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 11/19/2019 09:18 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 12/05/2019 <br />
