ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—APRIL 25, 2016 14 Councilmember Holmes recommended only one new tree be planted on the property at the previously requested sign location. All other trees will not be required, but instead the City will require additional perennial plantings on the site. Mr. Commers supported this recommendation. Councilmember Holden suggested another tree species be selected in order to keep more trees on the site. She supported the applicant further working on the landscaping plan with staff. Senior Planner Bachler believed that staff had enough direction from the City Council regarding this matter to work through the landscaping plan with the applicant. He noted the plan could be modified and would then be reviewed by the Council in the PUD Amendment Agreement. AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holmes and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion requiring the applicant to amend the landscaping plan to accommodate the change in the monument sign location. The amendment carried (5-0). Mayor Grant called the question for the original motion with the amendments. The amended motion carried (5-0). C.
