Commissioner Iglesias agreed he also wanted to see a landscaping plan,but he was prepared to vote based on the fact that a landscaping plan must be provided to staff and have to meet with their approval. Mayor Samson repeatedly asked to see a landscaping plan before voting. Commissioner Edelcup recommended deferral, but suggested that when the request comes back, it be modified to provide landscaping by eliminating the 3 parallel parking spaces along Collins Avenue, and therefore request #4 would become a non-issue if the landscaping was put in the front; regarding installation of a wall, he suggested landscaping instead of a concrete wall, and agreed with Mr. Luft regarding moving the trash bin over to where parking space #1 is so the bin would be away from the back of the property. City Manager Russo suggested having Jorge Vera, Bill O'Leary and the applicant meet to discuss landscaping.
