Mr. Oberlee said that while it was not a requirement for the project, they |
|
met with the Hidden Hills folks several weeks ago, and told them they |
|
would be planting trees along the southern boundary. They were in the |
|
process of getting the trees from a place in Fenton and would have 70-80 |
|
trees delivered soon. They would work with the Hidden Hills folks as to |
|
where to locate the trees. The Hidden Hills residents had agreed to |

provide watering for the trees because Crittenton’s irrigation did not go to |

Mr. Herzog showed a rendering of the exterior elevation looking north |

There were no trees, and they were told Crittenton would add pine trees, |
|
which they did, but they were so far apart they did not do anything for the |
|
