Environmental <br />Memo <br />To: Katie Larsen <br />From: Andy Nelson <br />Date: May 29, 2020 <br />Re: Environmental Board Comments/ May 27t" 2020 / Laborers Training Center <br />Environmental provided the following comments about the Laborers Training <br />Center Conditional Use Permit at the May 27t", 2020 Environmental Board Meeting: <br />1. Trees in the proposed west pond will have to be surveyed and accounted for in the <br />Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards. Surface water detention ponds are <br />not considered part of the basic use area, and thus are not exempt from surveys or <br />mitigation standards. Clarification is needed on numbers of trees not in basic use <br />area that are to be removed and thus potentially requiring mitigation. <br />2. Buffer and screen standards can be met on the eastern perimeter by planting a <br />triangulated double row of coniferous trees that curves west to meet with the <br />northeast edge of the east pond. It is recommended that two or three species <br />suitable for the site conditions are alternated to make this screen more resistant to <br />pests and pathogens than it would be if it were comprised of a single species. <br />3. Tree protection zones should extend 5ft. farther from the trunk than the dripline. <br />Tree protection fence should be installed prior to any construction activities <br />taking place on the site. <br />4. Install tree protection fence at the construction limits east of the East Pond to limit <br />tree removals in that area. <br />5. Foundation plantings should be irrigated. <br />0 Page 1 <br />
