I DEC 19 197BOOK �Z PAGE340 MR. SWENSON STATED THERE ARE 36 LOTS AFFECTED BY THE PRO- POSED LANDSCAPING OF WHICH THE COMPANY OWNS 13. OF THE REMAINING, 4 ARE UNIMPROVED AND 19 ARE DEVELOPED. COMMISSIONER SOY FELT THEY COULD OBTAIN A PLANTING EASEMENT FROM THESE HOMEOWNERS, BUT MR. SWENSON STATED THAT THERE IS VERY LITTLE SPACE BETWEEN THEIR FRONT DOORS AND THE STREET AND GOING INTO IT FURTHER WOULD SHRINK THEIR YARDS.

SWENSON STATED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED WITH THEIR DEVELOP- MENT PLAN AND IF THE BOARD DESIRED, THEY WOULD BE GLAD TO REDRAW THE LANDSCAPING PLAN. THE BUILDING IS NOT AT ISSUE, STRICTLY THE PAVING. HE CONTINUED THAT THEY WILL NEED 5' FROM THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ON EACH SIDE OF THE STREET AS THE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM, AND HE BELIEVED THE RIGHT- OF-WAY IS 20', COMMISSIONER SOY STATED THAT SHE WAS NOT ABOUT TO APPROVE ANYTHING TODAY BASED ON SOMETHING VAGUE AND INDEFINITE.

SWENSON ASKED IF THE BOARD FELT THIS CONCEPT WAS A REASONABLE APPROACH IF MAINTENANCE CAN BE ASSURED AND IF THEY HAVE VERY SPECIFIC DRAWINGS, AND THE BOARD AGREED THEY DID.
