8. 	Palouse Mall Landscape Presentation - Gary J. Riedner
In the mid-1970s, the buffer strip on the north side of Highway 9 in front 
of Palouse Mall was created as a condition of the rezoning of the property. 
 In November of 2000, approximately 114 shrubs were removed illegally from 
the buffer strip.  Those responsible for the illegal removal apologized and 
paid restitution.  Because the Mall and the University of Idaho have a 
continuing responsibility for the maintenance of the Mall's buffer strip, 
clarification is sought regarding conditions required to maintain the strip 
to meet conditions of the rezoning.

ACTION:  Receive request and any related proposal, and refer the plan to 
the appropriate staff, including the Community Forestry Administrator.  The 
Plan, along with any such staff recommendations, will be considered by 
Council at a later date.
