He invited the Commissioners to visit the site. /'_ r'` Commissioner Fox noted the proximity of the homes of Lots 6 and 7 to the water tank and suggested that trees be planted in front of the fence to screen the fence. Mr. Jost noted that the City planned to plant well-established oaks on the west and east side of the tank, and that staff was very sensitive to the neighbors' needs. He noted that the location of the tank was fairly inflexible. Chairperson Arkin suggested that the tank area be staked when the PUD is brought before the Commission. Mr. Jost believed there were stakes at the site already. Ms. Decker requested Commission feedback regazding stockpiling.
