David Martine stated due to the absence of the other applicants, agenda item #7 will be heard first.

SP-2006-15: Review the landscape plans for the Cornerstone entry monument sites located at the intersections of Cornerstone Parkway and Andover Road & Cornerstone Parkway and 21^st Street in the Cornerstone Addition.

From Les Mangus Memo: As requested by the Committee at the last meeting, a landscaping plan has been submitted for review for the proposed entry monuments for the Cornerstone Addition on 21^st St. and Andover Rd. The monument on 21^st Street is limited to a maximum height of 10 feet in the B-2 Neighborhood Business District, whereas the Andover Rd. monument is limited to 15 feet. I have contacted the designer about the matter, and a variance has been applied for, but not yet granted to rectify the issue. Otherwise Staff has no objection to the plan as submitted.

Monica Palyash from MKEC presented this landscape plan for the applicant. She said the landscape plans have been submitted which show plants with assorted textures and colors to accent the signs. There will be berms behind the signs to help raise the pine trees to be more visible. The Coppercrest and Whispering Pines will be the subdivision names on the interior monument signs.

David Martine asked if this is a masonry or concrete wall. Monica said it will be concrete block with a stone façade to it.

David Martine asked if the signs would be illuminated. Monica said they will have ground lights.

Don Kimble asked if the planting areas are irrigated. Monica said it is not noted on the plans but all plantings will be irrigated. Don stated the final plans submitted to Les for building permits need to have the documentation of irrigation on it.

David Martine asked if the Andover Road and 21^st Street monuments are identical. Monica said yes they are with the logo feature being visible from both sides.

David Martine asked if there are any concrete walls on the site along Andover Road or 21^st Street. Monica said no there are none.

Don Kimble made a motion to approve the landscape plan as presented with the condition of the irrigation notation being added to the final plan submitted for building permits. Clark Nelson seconded the motion. Motion carried 4/0.

SP-2006-11: Review the revised grading and lighting plans for the Andover Vet Clinic located at 517 W. Central.

David Martine asked if there was an applicant for the vet clinic. Les said there are not enough voting members present to take any action because Don Kimble is the representative for the applicant and he removed himself from the committee. Les reminded the committee the bylaws require 4 affirmative votes for approval of any case.

David Martine said he has a question even though the applicant is not present. He asked if the approved plan included a 6 foot good-neighbor fence instead of a dog-eared fence.

Les said several plantings are missing on the site and on the west side of the inn is a vegetable garden in place of the approved screening trees. Don Kimble said there are several dead trees and bushes on the site.

General discussion continued about this site requirement to comply with the approved landscape plan which includes irrigation. No action was taken.
