They propose to add these details. Mr. Janisch noted that the roadway trees should be off the boulevard, on the private property. They propose these trees to be four to six inch Red Maples, planted fifty feet on center. This would produce an immediate asesthetic imgact of some magnitude. We discu�sed the trails location, expressing some concern regarding the ability to police the trails by the public and/or the public and the Police Depa�tment, inasmuch as a substantial portion of the trails are not contiguous to a public right-of-way. The trails will be six feet w�de, and designed primarily for hikers a�d runner�. Dave noted the importance of connecting the trail system to the public street system at certain points.

Mr. Frank� also revi�wEd their proposed landscape plan for the Corpprate Center site at the northwest corner of C and Long �a�� Road. There h�ve been slight r�visions in the foot- print of the building, which cQnstitut�s consid�rable improvement inasmuch as it �llows for better p�destri$n c�rculat�on, and creat�on of g�tio areas in t�� se of th� bu��dinq at the southwest corner of the site. � We compar�d the new la�dscape plan with the o�e previously approved by the Planning Commission and Council, noting som� dif£erences.
