In our judgement the revised plan carries out the intent of the Commission's motion of approval at its meeting of February 18, 1969, as long as: (1) The selection of "red Barberry" for the STH 24 hedge treatment is made a permanent part of the plan. (2) The selection of actual plant types for the "evergreen trees" along the west and north property lines is noted permanently on the drawing. Cedar is acceptable to us. (3) The city receives an easement on its standard form from the owner promising to remove at the ownerls expense any improve- ments, such as the hedges, being made in the future public right of way. The better way to avoid this problem is to move the hedges out of the future right of way, on to the permanent part of the property, so that widening will not disturb them.
