precautions. So I would suggest having a plan in place for the construction and for the materials that are used to make sure we give the tree every opportunity, and there is no guarantee that the tree will survive, but working with the landscape architect here at the City and with the professional from the applicant's side, I think we can come up with a plan that gives both trees the best chance of surviving. Commissioner Balch: And I also want to mention I'll bring it up that Condition 93 gives the discretion of the City Engineer to require water meters for each lot and we're going to make that mandatory and not discretionary to the direction of the City Engineer. Chair Ritter: Don't we normally use that? Commissioner Balch: We do but it gives discretion and you take it away. Okay, so how do we condition that the story poles will be added before it goes to Council for their consent or approval? Weinstein: Just add the condition. We have a month before Council so it seems like that's sufficient for story poles? Carey: We also had the discussion about the photo montage that we did before that that was another option; it's the virtual flyover. Commissioner Balch: I think though at this point, I will speak for me, but for me it sounds like there's enough interest from neighbors that the story poles will be something that we should do. Chair Ritter: It helps the neighbors. Commissioner Balch: I'll start with that and before I make the motion, I want to say that the conversation about keeping the house that was on the lot versus not, that conversation was held during a workshop pretty extensively and that's probably why it wasn't mentioned here so much. I will tell you from my quick read, the house is in disrepair and I personally, based on the reports that were generated, you know, I apologize that this is a turning page in the City's history as something of personal significance to you, but the report shows it has no citywide historical value. I hate to say that. Commissioner Nagler: It's on a personal level, but not citywide. Commissioner Balch: Yeah, so that was discussed and I saw it from my notes here as a comment for the speaker. So I just wanted to mention. Beaudin: We'd like to make the story poles a recommendation from the Commission rather than conditional approval because it's not the project per se, it's a procedural issue. So what we'd like to suggest is that the Commission make that strong request to the applicant to install those story poles prior to the City Council so that they have that information and then the conditions would be the other things we've already talked about.
