Zisla said that the applicant should waive the sixty-day rule if they ask for an extension. Zisla stated that Teague’s report mentioned there is some issue about the tree plan on the Interstate side. Zisla said that the Highway 8 Task Force discussed the appearance of New Brighton as from I-35W. Zisla said he was curious about the status of the operation that is bringing in cars for storage. Is there a landscape plan? Teague responded Freeway Towing has a landscape plan. They are required to plant a row of pine trees along the freeway. There are so many cars on the site currently because Freeway Towing has a contract with the State. Apparently, the State has been storing cars up at the old Arsenal site. There is some work going on at the Arsenal that required all the cars to be removed and were put on the Freeway Towing site. Freeway Towing is in the process of building the facility and the surface has not be paved yet. Therefore, Freeway Towing is having a difficult time due to these extra cars. Zisla said he was concerned that the City had made a mistake in not requiring landscaping. Teague said the City will require a landscape plan.
