Page SP-3
1.Any removal of existing trees should be discouraged; if trees are to be removed, they should either be
relocated or replaced in a different location.
2.Staff recommends that the brush to be removed along the south line be limited to the eastern half of
what is proposed as full clearing will expose refuse area associated with Lumberjack Pass Amusements.
3.Per §179-6-020C, sidewalks and bikeways horizontal illuminance not to exceed 1.0 foot-candles.
Proposal has illuminance approaching 4 foot-candles.
Additional comments:
1.Have lighted pedestrian bollards been considered in place of 15 foot light poles?
