City Council Minutes -3- July 17, 2006
Councilmember Sanger understood the reason for the variance for landscaping in the
parking lot because of the polluted land, but was concerned about the visibility and
aesthetics from the trail. Can additional landscaping be added in pots? Mr. Walther
replied the applicant had considered that. Paul Hyde, Real Estate Recycling responded
landscaping requires irrigation and drainage, both require clean soils according to their
clean up plan with the Pollution Control Agency. They only had so much space above
the groundwater and below the building to do that and the volume on the back of the site
was very limited. If they are able to, they will landscape the first row of islands.

Mayor Jacobs thanked Real Estate Recycling for their collaboration and clean up of the site.
