talked to the City Manager and said what can I do, we've screwed up. I didn't hear that from the city. I didn't hear that, when all of these people .... We've gotten a building permit, and we've got a PUD, and we've got all of these other things that said, no, the city .... no we've made a mutual mistake. It's not our intent to come in here and sell homes or to build homes that weren't intended on the plat. We've screwed up. Do you understand? I've said it over and over again. People make mistakes. Davidson stated that equal mistakes were made. Mayer: Ail I can say is that the city official responsible for this is no longer here. I he were here, we would deal with that. I really feel that this is inadequate dealing with the situation. Mayer proposed that a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees be done, perhaps on the city's space, the open land down below, that would eventually screen the area and would not so directly impact the people buying the homes there. Sheffield stated that he would like for Council to direct Sheffield Homes, with City staff, to work things out and bring an acceptable plan to Council. Annette Brand, City Administrator, Sheffield to attend this meeting, Council felt about this. stated that she had asked Mr. because she knew how deeply Howard wanted more mature trees planted, so they didn't have to wait 20 years for the screening. Sheffield stated that the landscape architects thought that 12' of evergreen may be the maximum that can be planted and live this time of year. He preferred that the trees be planted on both sides of the fences. He commented that, if there is an imposing view at all, it's when you drive off of U.S. 36 onto McCaslin. He didn't feel that there should be a meeting with the Enclave, as he didn't feel that they would be impacted at all. Howard wondered if Sheffield intended the city to give that first year of care to the trees planted. 15
