He asked if there will be ample <br />plantings put in the place of the trees that will be removed. <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby said they will lose a lot of trees with this project; <br />however, most of them are low quality trees. He shared that they are making sure to save the high- <br />quality trees but they do not have much room on the site for any significant plantings. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if this is designed so that there will be standing water or if it is <br />meant to filter and drain away water. <br /> <br />City Council / September 24, 2024 <br />Page 9 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
