Sackett also voiced concerns regarding the landscape screening of the center, especially along the east side. Sackett preferred a wooden barrier (fence) plus landscaping at, least part of the way down the east side of the center as it would provide immediate visual screening, whereas plantings will take time to grow and fill in. "We don't know what's going to be on the east side and I am concerned about the view that people are going to have in the residential area....I think it is a good use for the property and it looks like it is professionally done,. But I want to make sure that we save the integrity of the neighborhood at the same time." Sackett moved that the Resolution be approved with the amendment that :From the north side of the storage yard to the point at which that storage yard meets the building, both a wooden fence and landscaping would be done. Mayor Fauson questioned the need to use both a wooden fence on one side and chain link on the remainder of the sides. Mohr stated that this proposal seems to be consis- tent with the guidelines adopted regarding stan- dards for buildings, fences, sites, etc. and doesn't understand l3ackett's reasoning regarding the wooden fence and what it would accomplish that the living screen couldn't provide if appro- priately done. "It seems to me we have put these gentlemen's feet to the fire to the point where they've got the mes:~age that we expect a living screen to be appropriately done and I hear a commitment coming from them in that regard...." Sackett stated that he feels the living screen will work, however, it wall work better 10 years from now. In the meantirne, a wooden fence would screen the area and provide a nice backdrop for the landscaping outlined. Mayor Fauson seconded the motion Sackett proposed.
