SCREENING OF The Planning Commission recommended that a policy GENERAL MILLS be adopted requiring a twenty -foot screening ease - FROM RESI- ment for the erection of a chain-link fence and the DENTIAL AREA planting of evergreens for future development.of land adjacent to the west line of the General Mills property and north of a proposed subdivision being developed by John F. Capell. Mr. Capell and General Mills have reached agreement for the exchange of property (which will square off the industrial area) and for the screening of the proposed residential area from the industrial area by the subdivider who will provide a twenty -foot easement in which he will erect a chain link fence adjacent to the industrial area and plant evergreens. The problem of enforcement was discussed in the event an indi- vidual property owner would remove any trees at the rear of his property, it being a question of whether it should be the responsibility of the City or of the property owners. If the planted strip were a tract restriction, the City would not be concerned. Mr. John Capell said that he and General Mills - 1 - 137, Minutes of January 16, 1963, continued wanted to be assured that the planting strip would be continued as a divider strip northerly along the west line of the General Mills property and desired the Council to establish a policy to that effect. The City Attorney stated that they were asking for an amendment to the subdivision ordinance requiring a subdivider to provide screening between incompatible uses. The City Manager said this would have to be a general requirement. Mr. Mike Tracy of General Mills gave a brief report on the negoti- ations between Mr. Capell and General Mills. He said it was just a matter of time before the balance of the area was developed and that a buffer strip was needed between the industrial and residential areas which would protect the industry and beautify the area. He said it would be a good thing if it were required by ordinance. The City Manager said the present question was whether the screening area be a dedicated easement to the City or be handled as a tract restriction. Some members of the Council felt it should not be the City's responsibility. Councilman Dow moved that the Council go on record as approving the proposed screening area around General Mills in principle and refer the method of continuing the screening to the north to the City Manager, City Attorney and Planning Director for study. The motion was seconded by Councilman Culbertson and carried. BEAUTIFICATION Councilman Culbertson said it was time to do some COMMITTEE work towards forming a City Beautification Committee.
