Mr. Otto replied that there has been an ongoing issue between Zone 7 and the City <br />regarding the maintenance of those trees. He added that he believes Zone 7 would <br />not have an issue about the removal of the trees because Zone 7 did not want that <br />maintenance responsibility. <br />Mr. Dolan stated that the fact that the public trail was added as a requirement after <br />the Commission’s discussion had factored into the discussion. He noted that in an <br />attempt to address the community’s concerns, staff tried to balance some of the <br />concerns in order to resolve them. <br />Commissioner Blank stated that he has always been concerned about removing <br />trees, especially if they are not being replaced or if payment for their removal is not <br />being required. <br />Commissioner Narum referred to the language in Condition 22 regarding other <br />trail-related improvements and requested staff to elaborate on what this might <br />include. <br />Mr. Otto explained that the Class C trail is a simple, compacted, graded earth trail <br />that is eight feet wide.

He added that the PUD conditions actually identify the applicant’s <br />responsibilities, including grading, landscaping, fencing, and signage. <br />Commissioner Narum inquired if the condition was added to the PUD after Council <br />approved the project. <br />Mr. Otto said yes. <br />Commissioner Blank inquired which would take precedence if there were any conflict <br />between the Conditions of Approval and the Vesting Tentative Map and what is in <br />the PUD. <br />Mr. Dolan replied that theoretically, there would not be any conflict between the two. <br />Ms. Seto replied that it would depend upon the issue. She stated that many of the <br />things in the Vesting Tentative Maps deal with utility and grading plans and that if <br />they are any over-arching or general issues, then staff would typically look at the <br />PUD condition.
