Mr. Sue noted particûl- arly that both of the site plans strongly reflected consideration of soil sUbsidence conditions as to placement of facilities, i.e. facilitìes- should be placed on one ~~ the other soil sUbsidence areas and not be straddled from one to another. ~ l~~!,~~~ -~. Sue,presented d~sign for pa~~ planti~ noting that large trees will create a continuous wind barrier - - - throughout the community and that the use of massive tole~ant materials will promote easy maintenance: that due to narrowness of site plans, little shrUbbery is planned, and all plants must be tolerant to~take the soil and wind conditionsl part of the planting will pass the major entrance to ,the planned shopping center. ~ . It was noted that the above projects are at district expense, but that maintenance cos~s are born by the entire city. Commissioners~expressed their enthusiasm over the outstanding presentation made by Mr. Sue and congratulated him over the inno- vation of design which he had presented. It , .
