further height and design requirements for fences. The hedge plant materials shall not be less than two feet in height at time of planting, planted no greater than 2 ft. on- center. 2) Tree count. The total tree count requirement within the front perimeter landscape area shall be determined by using a ratio of one tree for each 25 linear feet of lot frontage or major portion thereof, with 50 percent of such trees being shade trees. Such required front perimeter tree count shall be separate from, and in addition to, the required tree count for side and rear perimeter and interior landscape area requirements. Required trees shall be spaced to provide a continuous tree line, planted approximately 25 feet on- center within all perimeter landscaped areas. Additional trees may be added as desired and practical to attain a desired landscape effect. 3) Ground cover. Grass sod, no sprigs or seeded grasses, or other ground cover shall be placed on all areas within the front or other landscape area not occupied by other landscape  material. Not more than 50 percent of all landscaped or pervious shrubs, except for public recreational parks and playgrounds or similar uses. 4) Side and rear landscape areas. a. The perimeter of vehicular use areas shall provide, at a minimum, a five ( 5) feet wide landscaped strip between the vehicular use area and a side/ rear property line, except when abutting an alley. The perimeter of the vehicular use area shall also be screened with a fence, wall or hedge or other durable landscape barrier. The height of the fence, wall or hedge shall not be greater than six feet for residential development and as provided in section 12. 731. 04( 2) for commercial development. The hedge plant material shall not be less than two feet at time of planting. All side and rear perimeter landscape areas along the perimeter of the vehicular use areas shall provide one tree for every 25 linear feet of property relating to an abutting property. Fifty percent of these required trees shall be shade trees. ( See Illustration # 1). b. The required five feet wide rear/ side perimeter landscape area shall not exempt any from a required buffer strip pursuant to sec. providing 12.415. 06; however, development such rear/ side perimeter landscape area may be included within the required buffer width, provided all requirements ( tree count, hedge or wall, irrigation system, etc.) have been satisfied. c. Abutting properties may combine the required rear/side perimeter landscape area for each development by providing a two and one- half foot wide rear or side perimeter landscape strip, provided no vehicular overhang( s) or other encroachment( s) into such area shall be permitted. 5) Interior landscape requirements. Within the interior of any vehicular use area ( total area less required perimeter landscape areas) which is designed for off-street parking purposes, the following shall be required: ( See Illustration # 2) a. Terminal islands: Contiguous rows of parking spaces shall be terminated on both ends with landscaped islands a minimum of one hundred square feet each in area and not less than five feet in width ( excluding curbing). The ends of such islands may be tapered to accommodate vehicular circulation. Such islands shall extend the entire length of the parking space and at least one tree with a clear trunk of six feet at the time of planting shall be planted for every 100 square feet, or portion thereof, of said island. The remainder of the terminal island shall be landscaped with grass or living ground cover. b. Interior islands: Landscaped interior islands shall be a minimum of five feet in width and excluding curbing) and not less than one hundred ( 100) square feet each in area that there is not shall be placed within individual rows of contiguous parking spaces so less than one island for every fifteen contiguous parking spaces, or portion thereof, and shall continue the full length of the contiguous parking space. At least one tree with a clear trunk of at least six feet at the time of planting shall be planted in every interior island and the remainder of the island shall be landscaped with grass or living ground cover. to abut c. Divider medians: Where any row of contiguous parking spaces is located so as a landscaped an interior driveway rather than another row of contiguous parking spaces, divider median of not less than five feet ( excluding curbing) in width shall be required At least tree with a clear trunk of at between said row and the abutting driveway. one in divider median for every least six ( 6) feet at the time of planting shall be planted every island shall be 25 linear feet, or fraction thereof, of said median and the remainder of the landscaped with grass or living ground cover. Message Page 1 of 1 EXHIBIT 11 Peggy Fowler From: Michael Bryant Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 11 : 56 AM To: Peggy Fowler Cc: Thomas Murray; Jeff Glassburn Subject: Downtown Parking Lot (AKA Tringas Parking Lot) Peggy, In regards to the Tringas Parking Lot, all available data indicates that there is a gap between the City owned parcel and the Tringas owned parcel. Some of our old maps refer to this gap as Point Place. Unfortunately there has never been a survey done showing both the City and the Tringas property on one survey. That type of survey would clearly indicate a hiatus if indeed one exists. Regarding ownership of the hiatus, since there is no subdivision plat covering that property, there is no way a right~of-way was dedicated to the City on a plat. Also, to the best of my knowledge there is no deed conveying that property to the City. The bottom line is that we believe there is a gap between the City property and the Tringas property. Establishing ownership of that property would be a matter for the City attorney in my opinion.
