Environmental Board <br />April 26, 2023 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson, Environmental Coordinator, presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson clarified that there was a mistake on the Tree Survey presented in the packet. <br />The applicant will have to resubmit a map showing the Tree Survey to match to Tree <br />Inventory. This update may affect the amount of mitigation trees to plant. <br /> <br />Mr. Schwartz asked if the placement of the trees so close to pavement would impact the <br />overall health of these trees in the future. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson responded that more credit is given for canopy cover if the trees are within 7 <br />feet of the pavement, noting that as long as there is sufficient soil volume the trees should <br />do well. <br /> <br />Chair Sullivan recommended that the facility establish a compost site since they will have <br />a commercial-size kitchen. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson responded that adding an organics bin to the site could be added to the <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson stated that he would send the Board an updated staff report and tree survey <br />once the applicant makes the updates. <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes made a MOTION to accept the recommendations. <br />Mr. Parsons seconded. Motion carried 7 – 0. <br /> <br />7. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />A. Recycling Program Overview, Tori Philippi <br /> <br />Tori Philippi, Recycling Intern, presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Mr. Schwartz revisited the idea that the Board should look into proposing an ordinance <br />amendment to the City Council that would require weekly residential recycling service <br />rather than the biweekly service that currently appears in the ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson answered that staff would gather background information for a discussion <br />item at the next Environmental Board meeting. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
