January 7, 1987 Park Board Minutes <br />Page 7 <br />An additional item we are thinking about as part of <br />Arbor Day is designating a tree as a City Tree. For <br />instance we could designate a spruce for 1987 and get <br />some 2" spruce trees donated and we would give them <br />away to any resident who wanted one. <br />Eichers said you could probably get the trees from <br />the University of Minnesota. <br />Anderson asked for comments on the landscape plan. <br />Johnson said he didn't like the line of spruces <br />along the parking lot. <br />Anderson said they block the view of the parking lot. <br />Johnson said he didn't the parking lot needed to be <br />blocked because it sits below the embankment. <br />Olson and Carlson said they liked the spruce.. <br />Anderson said he will talk to Bill Midness about the <br />spruces. <br />Johnson said he heard that you should never plant in <br />even numbers in case something doesn't grow or dies, <br />it will not look conspicuous. <br />Williams agreed with Johnson that the screening of <br />the parking lot may not be necessary. People looking <br />far it may have a hard time seeing it. .The entrance <br />should be accentuated. The danger in planting like <br />that is the question of what happens if something <br />dies. <br />Eichers asked if the plan was shown with .mature <br />plantings. <br />Anderson said good size stock will be used in <br />planting. About 15-16' trees. <br />VI. Old Business <br />None <br />VII. Announcements <br />An invitation to the Park Board's Christmas Party was <br />handed out. <br />
