and Site Plan for Carlson Real Estate Co. for Property located at the Southwest Corner of
Cheshire Lane and Carlson Parkway (Twin Realty Investment Co. — 95008)
Planning Manager Thomson reported the applicant is requesting removal of a condition requiring
a hedge in front of the building and replacing it with mulch and grass. Several of the applicant's
tenants have complained that the hedge blocks view of the building, there are visibility issues at
both entrance points, and the hedge attracts nuisance behavior in the late night/early morning
hours. She noted when this development was originally approved, the homes across the street
were about five years old and there was not mature landscaping. Since that time, the landscaping
in the area has matured, and the adjacent berm also helps to provide screening to the residential
development.

Manager Thomson provided the following information:
There have been no incidents reported to the Police Department regarding
nuisance behavior occurring behind the hedge.
The current trees would remain. The applicant is only requesting removal of the
hedge to replace with grass and mulch.
A member of the Council stated that there should be some type of screening here, even if it is a
lower growth shrub.
In response to further questions from the Council, Planning Manager Thomson provided the
following information:
There currently isn't any development signage placed on the site notifying
homeowners that there may be changes.
The homeowners weren't informed of this request as there is no requirement to do
SO.
The placement of the current hedge was a requirement of staff, not the
homeowners.
Todd Schachtman, applicant, stated that the tenants of this property look at this as an opportunity
for improved visibility and security.
A member of the Council inquired if there have been abandoned and stolen car reports at this
site. Staff replied no.
