He stated that with the existing trees, proposed trees, stormwater pond, and additional plantings <br />there would be sufficient screening. <br />Board Member Fetterley asked if there another pond towards the railroad tracks on the southern <br />portion of the property. <br />Senior Planner Anderson replied that would be an infiltration basin. <br />Motion by Board Member Bernard and seconded by Board Member Salami to recommend <br />approval of the natural resources aspects of the proposed plat and site plan, contingent upon <br />compliance with staff s review comments. <br />Motion carried.

BOARD / STAFF INPUT <br />® Update: COR Tree Clearing <br />Senior Planner Anderson stated that one goal of the Council is to get more land within the COR <br />shovel ready for development. He noted that a tree inventory was completed as many of the trees <br />will need to be removed in order to bring in fill to bring those sites up to grade. He also provided <br />some details on the streetscaping that will occur. <br />Chairperson Moore asked if those trees could be moved to other locations in Ramsey. <br />Senior Planner Anderson stated that he could ask about that but was unsure that the quality of the <br />trees would warrant that. He was also unsure about staff resources to relocate trees <br />• Small Scale Recycling Center Possibilities <br />Senior Planner Anderson provided an update on the potential opportunity for a small-scale <br />recycling center. He noted that they would need to think of items that would not require much in <br />terms of staffing, and it would take time to implement. He stated that perhaps they could begin <br />with oil collection as that would be something utilized by the community and could also decrease <br />waiting at the recycling events. He encouraged the Board to start thinking about this as he will do <br />the same. <br />Board Member Heffner suggested the possibility of corporate sponsorship for this type of effort. <br />7.
