The Landscaping Recommendations Guidelines were prepared with the help of Kathy Widen, City of Stillwater Forester. The discussion covered the use of naturalistic plantings and native plants, blending into the residential landscaping and use of screening where appropriate. The Incorporation of rest stops and the existing terrain was also discussed. Ms. Fitzgerald explained that this is a"Conceptual Guideline" and expressed the need for this to be accepted and established for quidelines to be available for any future builders who may be developing any land in the future. Mr. Johnson expressed strong support for trees as screening where possible. Mr. Zoller requested who would be paying for such a landscaping endeavor. Ms. Fitzgerald explained that the builders would be responsible for establishing a trail along the roadway and allowing for berming and trees where appropriate. 06/01 /2006 The question of trails along already owned property was discussed. It was thought that a bike path along the road would leave room for going around existing property that does not have to comply at this time because of existing property lines now being used. Any new landscaping will have to be approved by the City once the Greenway Corridor is established and approved Ms. Fitzgerald said. Mr. Johnson said that some residents are sensitive to the view that houses are showing currently because the houses seem or appear closer to the road than what the residents envisioned and again stated that trees were important. It was mentioned that trees do provide a screen for six months of the year. Ms. Fitzgerald requested an approval for the guidelines and it was agreed that there should be quidelines for a Greenway Corridor by unanimous agreement.

Request for Annexation: ANN/01-01 at 8528 Neal Avenue North. As presented to the Joint Board by Mr. Steve Russell, Community Development Director. Stillwater Township/City Joint Board January 17, 2001 The property in question was included in the overall Comprehensive Plan for development. The questions raised concerning the development of Phase II through IV without an overall developmental plan was discussed as it relates to utilities and design. The City Engineer and staff have been extremely busy with the issues of addressing the developmental issue according to Mr. RusselL Mr. Johnson questioned if a review of the developmental plan would make sense at this time to allow for the Comprehensive Plan to allow for personal rights of the property owners while allowing for a developmental plan that would consider utilities and traffic concerns as the City holds the responsibility for these issues. The question of allowing the annexation request at this time is in the phase of filing the request only as the specifics have not been addressed at this time explained Mr. Russell. The request will have to be addressed by the Planning Commission and this is an introduction to that request as allowed in the overall Comprehensive Plan. Motion to Adjourn. A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Mr. David Johnson at 8:27 p.m. All were in favor of adjournment. Respectfully Submitted Diane R. Martinek Recording Secretary 06/01 /2006
