06-22-1978 Regular MeetingMEETING NOTES OF THE COMMUNITY APPEARANCE STANDARDS COMMITTEE June 22, 1978 Present was Chairman Meginley, City Manager Tiffany, Mrs, Caok, and Messrs. Jones and Blackburn. The meeting began at 3:15 P.M. Landscape plan as revised was introduced by creator Joe Knight as the final draft. He stated that the graphics of the plan would need some refining before the plan was ready to be presented. Mr. Tiffany suggested the committee decide on the next step for proceeding with plan presentation, implementation, and revision work on the present land- scape ordinance. In reviewing the plan, there was some discussion of placing more control on visibility requirements by requiring the level of unobstructed view be measured from the existing curb and sidewalk. A suggestion of having in the plan places where soil can be tested was made. Another suggestion was to place in the plan a typical diagram showing the street, right of way, sidewalk, and where trees could be placed. Result of discussion that followed was a realization that streets would have to be planned separately to include future possibilities of expansion. After review by the P&Z Board, the plan will go to the City Council for adoption. If adopted, "Greenscape" will serve as the basis for implementation of city landscaping. The plan will also be advertised and circulated through the city for private use. This will be achieved hopefully with the help of the Garden Club. Vote was taken for sending the plan to the next P&Z meeting. Ayes were unanimous. Before the meeting was adjourned, a last suggestion was made to supplement the plan with a bibliography of books and references of plant standards. The meeting was adjourned at 4:15 P.M.
