Old Business Hy-Vee North Funds The committee reviewed the pros and cons of the four remaining city-owned properties that are candidates for future tree planting projects. Corrow presented another potential site located at the northeast intersection of County Road 30 and Upland Lane. Gleason park would also be considered as a site for a public tree planting event. Henke suggested prioritizing the sites and spreading out the tree plantings in future years. The committee ranked the sites as follows: 1. County Road 30/Upland Lane 2. Maple Grove Pkwy/Bass Lake Road (Site #5) 3. Vicksburg Lane/Elm Road (Site #3) 4. Vicksburg Lane/Nottingham Pkwy (Site #7)  Corrow will find out if Gleason Park can become a T-Zone district if Arbor Committee trees are planted there and if Parks department is able to dig the holes needed for a tree planting event. Arbor Day Planning The Arbor Committee reviewed the “to do” list and each member discussed the progress that has been made so far. The list will continue to be updated leading up to the event. Henke suggested a large T-zone map and ordinance information should be added to a booth. The 2023 Arbor Day event will be held on Saturday, April 29 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Maple Grove Community Center. New Business T-Zone Notifications Committee members discussed publishing an article in the city newsletter as an effective way notify residents if they live in a T-Zone. The article can be published several times each year and will include a link to the neighborhood information website in order to determine if a specific address is in a t-zone. The city’s zoning map with T-zone overlay will be used because it is easier to read than the T- zone map. Social media posts would also be an effective way to get this information out. Lamsal will forward a T-zone map to the Eagle Lake homeowners association since there is a lot of T-zone areas around that lake. Area Reports Parenteau mentioned that a few Arbor Committee members attended a winter tree identification course put on by the University of Minnesota. She also provided an update of the Buckthorn Eradication Group. Adjournment Motion Piket, second Lensing to adjourn the meeting at 8:40 p.m. Vote all ayes. Motion carried.
