3 ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED IF IT COULD BE STATED THAT THIS ORDINANCE WILL APPLY TO ALL OFF STREET PARKING EXCEPT SINGLE FAMILY AND DUPLEXES, MR. BERG FELT THAT IS THE INTENT. HE POINTED OUT THAT PEOPLE WANT A STRONG LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE, AND HE BELIEVED IT SHOULD APPLY TO ALL AREAS WHERE ANY ALTERATION, ETC., AFFECTS OFF STREET PARKING, ATTORNEY COLLINS INQUIRED ABOUT THE SITUATION WHERE NO SITE PLAN APPROVAL IS REQUIRED. MR. BERG STATED THAT A LANDSCAPE PLAN WOULD HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED AND BE PROCESSED THE SAME AS.SITE PLAN APPROVAL, CHAIRMAN V'IODTKE FELT THIS COULD PLACE A TREMENDOUS BURDEN ON THE SITE PLAN REVIEW COMMITTEE. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER AGREED AND SUGGESTED THAT THIS BE HANDLED THROUGH THE PLANNING OR ZONING DEPARTMENTS INSTEAD SO THAT IT DOESN'T BECOME THE INVOLVED PROCEDURE ALREADY REQUIRED JUST TO GET APPROVAL OF A FENCE. MR, BERG FELT THERE COULD BE RECOt4MENDATIONS MADE AS TO WHETHER A SPECIFIC PROJECT HAD TO GO BEFORE SITE PLAN APPROVAL. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THE CATEGORIES REQUIRED TO HAVE SITE PLAN APPROVAL, SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AND THINGS PERMITTED WITHOUT SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS. CHAIRMAN VIODTKE ASKED IF A MINING OPERATION WOULD HAVE TO BE LANDSCAPED, AND MR. BERG STATED ONLY THE OFF STREET PARKING. MR. BERG NOTED THAT YOU HAVE SOME RESIDENTIAL ZONES ABUTTING USES THAT ARE MORE COMMERCIAL IN NATURE, AND THIS WOULD AT LEAST SCREEN THE PARKING AREA AND MAKE IT LESS UNSATISFACTORY. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT OUR BASIC CONCERN IS THE PARKING AREAS AND HE FELT THE ORDINANCE MUST BE SET UP TO CONVEY THAT CLEARLY IN ORDER -TO ELIMINATE CONFUSION. MR. BERG STATED THAT MOST LANDSCAPE ORDINANCES ARE KEPT WITH- IN THE OFFSTREET PARKING AREAS, HE NOTED WHEN A BUILDING IS ENLARGED, YOU GENERALLY HAVE TO ENLARGE THE PARKING AREA, BUT POINTED OUT THAT YOU COULD MAKE THE ORDINANCE APPLY ONLY TO NEW CONSTRUCTION. URBAN FORESTER CLARK DID NOT FEEL THE ORDINANCE WAS INTENDED TO BE RETROACTIVE. 17 JAN 18 All BOX 113 PAcE�`��
