Commissioner Fischer stated she would like to see some type of landscaping or trees in there to soften the appearance of the parking area. Commissioner Cole stated she would not be in favor of street trees in this area, in that she does quite a bit of walking downtown and the street trees planted in the large tubs take up a lot of the sidewalk area. Also, people tend to throw rubbish in them; they are filled with cans, broken glass, etc. Commissioner Sebastian stated he would like to see the potted trees in that area, but he didn't feel it should be the responsibility of this type of project. Mr. Sullivan advised, in his opinion, this is a matter that the Commission could recommend as a whole to the Parks and Recreation Commission for their review and consideration. He further stated that they most likely would want to wait until this whole area re- develops as opposed to just a single lot being redeveloped.

She further stated that something should be done about the problem that is growing within the Village area and that there should be some notice of this situation and maybe get it now before it gets out of hand. Planner Sullivan advised that if the Commission chooses to take action on this matter, that a report of their concerns could be forwarded to the City Council, but that the Commission should not correspond with the Merchants' Association on their own. After a brief discussion, on motion by Commissioner Cole, seconded by Commissioner Moots, and unanimously carried, recommending to the City Council that they give some consideration to the need for cleaning of the commercial area's sidewalks and maintenance of the Village area.
