Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 24,2015 Page 38 According to Mr. Paschke's drawing, Councilmember McGehee opined that it seemed to provide even distribution and an aesthetic second barrier without creat- ing a solid windbreak. Councilmember McGehee noted her recollection of a noise attenuation stated at some point, with Mayor Roe clarifying that it may have been requested,but had not been included as a condition of IU approval. Councilmember Wilimus agreed that noise had been referenced by a member of the Planning Commission, but not included in the IU; or as confirmed by Mayor Roe that it was part of their discussion, but not a recommendation to the City Council. Councilmember Etten agreed with the aesthetic purpose, allowing staff to make a determination on the exact number of trees. Mayor Roe advised Mr. Bilotta that the City Council agreed with staff's percep- tion regarding an aesthetic purpose for tree plantings.
