ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING MARCH 30, 2005 <br /> <br />O’Connell recommended that instead of the phrase “or other shade trees,” put <br />“and other shade trees.” <br /> <br />Grundhofer indicated that for #3 reference to “planter islands” they should also <br />add the phrase, “include native plantings.” In addition, paragraph #5 referencing <br />site features, she questioned who was strongly encouraging these items. Asleson <br />responded that it was an acceptable cultural expression. <br /> <br />Grundhofer inquired about the “lighted planting beds.” Asleson assured her that <br />it would not have a lot of light pollution. <br /> <br />Bor suggested at a future meeting the City Lighting Ordinance be reviewed, so <br />when plans are reviewed we discuss lighting in accordance to the Ordinance. <br />Asleson stated lighting could be inviting and improve the safety of the patrons. <br /> <br />Kukonen questioned if in the reference to landscaping standards, should natives <br />be suggested. <br /> <br />Grundhofer inquired about various specific species. <br /> <br />Kukonen stated there were a few fixtures still to be identified. <br /> <br />Grundhofer referred to section B4, stating “dramatic effect,” and recommended <br />changing it to “artistic effect.” <br /> <br />Chair O’Dea inquired about the meaning of the term bollard. Asleson stated that <br />it meant post. <br /> <br />O’Connell questioned if the lighting on the sidewalks had downward focused <br />lights on bollards. Grundhofer responded that the picture had shields. <br /> <br />Asleson stated the lighting would still need to meet City requirements. <br /> <br />O’Connell asked for clarification for page 5, part F. Since the hotel would be <br />open 24 hours a day, would it address other businesses. Asleson confirmed that it <br />concerned other businesses on site. <br /> <br />Kukonen inquired about section C. Asleson responded that he was unsure of the <br />specified height, but the light candles had specifications in the Lighting <br />Ordinance. He added that it should be clarified. <br /> <br />Kukonen asked how “Exhibit T” could shine on the wall. Asleson answered that <br />there was a dark cover on the front of the fixture so it would only illuminate the <br />wall. <br /> <br />4 APPROVED MINUTES
