Re: Ordinance 60-23 through 62-23 – Authorizing the City Manager to Execute
Easements along the Indian Run Meadows Planned Use Development Corridor
for Landscape Maintenance – Follow-Up Information
Background
As a follow up to the November 27, 2023 meeting regarding Ordinance 60-23 through 62-23 -
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Easements along the Indian Run Meadows Planned Use
Development Corridor for Landscape Maintenance, Council inquired about the removal of invasive
honeysuckle along the corridor and what species would be planted in its place.
Per City Code, the removal of invasive trees and shrubs such as honeysuckle is not a requirement.
However, to be consistent with the buffer requirements honeysuckle alone is not considered
appropriate screening and must be removed in order to plant the required number of appropriate
trees and shrub species. During the first phase of the buffer planting plan, there are several
properties where honeysuckle has been removed and replaced with new trees and shrubs to meet
the required screening for the buffer program. In these situations, many species were included as
replacements including evergreens and deciduous trees and shrubs depending on the conditions
that existed. A list of species that have been planted along the corridor thus far is attached for
reference.
In situations where both honeysuckle and other appropriate species exist, and where these
conditions meet the screening requirements, staff has encouraged property owners to have the
honeysuckle removed and replaced with desired species of columnar evergreens such as
arborvitae and junipers. On property easements where this condition remains, staff will continue to
encourage property owners to have the honeysuckle removed and replaced with these species.
Some property owners have chosen to accept this practice, to which staff has responded with an
updated planting plan for these easements.

Re: Ordinance 60-23 through 62-23 – Authorizing the City Manager to Execute
Easements along the Indian Run Meadows Planned Use Development Corridor
for Landscape Maintenance
Background
Ordinances 60-23 through 62-23 are to continue securing landscape maintenance easements
associated with the Greenway Corridor Program that was initiated by City Council in 2020 for the
properties adjoining Avery-Muirfield Drive in the Indian Run Meadows subdivision. This program
includes securing landscape maintenance easements from property owners along the corridor for
the City to take over the responsibility to maintain the appropriate tree and shrub screening as
reflected in the development text. Documents from previous Council meetings related to the
implementation of this program, as well as additional details about the required screening are
attached for reference.
Staff has completed the first phase of the replanting plan along the corridor, which included the
removal of 84 trees/shrubs that were in poor or dead condition and the planting of 123 new
trees/shrubs for 22 properties to achieve the minimum screening requirements. This phase of
improvements was completed on June 1, 2023. The landscape easements included in the subject
ordinances include three additional property owners who have submitted documents affirming
their desire to participate in the program. A map of the property locations is also attached.
Property Owner Address Auditor Parcel ID Number
Tyler & Elizabeth Stafford 6933 Fallen Timbers Drive 273-002195-00
Heather Properties LLC 6973 Fallen Timbers Drive 273-003024-00
Jason & Megan Miller 6981 Fallen Timbers Drive 273-003025-00
The improvements required on these additional properties are estimated to cost approximately
$2,000, which will be funded using existing operating budget allocations. Of the 31 total properties
along this corridor, 25 properties will now be included in the program. The remaining six property
owners have decided not to participate. These six properties are currently in compliance with the
required screening and will be responsible to continue to meet the minimum requirements at their
own expense going forward.
Recommendation
In accordance with City Council’s direction to implement the Greenway Corridor Program, staff
recommends approval of Ordinances 60-23 through 62-23, authorizing the City Manager to
execute easements along the Indian Run Meadows Planned Use Development Corridor for
landscape maintenance.
