rticle, Section, or Page umber action 6.8 Landscaping, ...[etc.] Perhaps there should be some introductory sentence to indicate that (A) (1) and (2) are definitions, rather 1. Page 6 -60 and 6 -61 than standing alone as incomplete sentences. You could employ the approach used on Page 6 -63 Basic Plant Types where there is an introductory sentence, before stating the different trees are "defined as follows:" Be consistent with whichever approach is chosen. Under (B) Protective Measures, consider switching the order of (1) and (2). The measures required in (2) 2. Page 6 -61 seem to be overarching and take precedent over what is required in (1). Under (B) Protective Measures, (1) and (2) appear to contradict one another. While (2) prohibits the cutting 3. Page 6-61 of trees any in the primary tree protection area, (1) allows certain existing trees (< V dbh) to be cut if they are shown in an approved plan. One way to remedy the contradiction would be to deleting the word "primary" from 1 if that meets the intent. Under (B) Protection Measures, (4) states ;,Iftat all "Heritage" trees shall be surveyed and protected, but 4. Page 6-61 there is no definition of "Heritage Trees" in'.the Definitions Section 10.1. Please add definition. 5. Page 6 -61 Under (B) Protection Measures, (5) the second word "Tree" should be spelled in lower case. Under (B) Protection Measures, there are a number of tree protection measures that are intended to protect 6. Page 6 -61 "critical root zones." We are supportive of those measures. Please note, however, that (6) references "areas where critical root zones may be disturbed during construction. ", but does not define or describe where those areas are located. On the other hand, (8) and (11) describe those areas (critical root zones) being within the drip line of trees. For clarity and consistency, we recommend adding a brief description to (6), such as "within the drip line of trees," and including a definition of "critical root zones" in Section 10.1. 7. Page 6-62 Consider including a diagram. Under (C) Mitigation, we recommend the same thing for (2), (5) and (6). Maybe (2) could be changed as follows: "Root prune a tree several months prior to any cuts within the critical root zone (within the drip line of a tree);" On the other hand, (4) describes the critical root zone by referring to "the drip line of the tree." Again, we are supportive of these important measures, but perhaps some better consistency would 8. Page 6 -62 be helpful. Under (C) Mitigation, we recommend clarifying what is intended by (6). Is it better to bore than to trench, but if you trench it should be shared? It may be helpful to include a diagram. Under (A) General Design Guidelines, (1) there is a recommendation to use gray water collection systems. 9. Page 6 -62 Is the use of gray water allowed by the State and local/county health department? Check that. Under (A) General Design Guidelines, (3) we recommend clarifying what is intended by "...should be 10. Page 6 -62 clustered to provide a look." Under (A) General Design Guidelines, (4) the word "mono- cultures" should be monocultures (No hyphen) 11.
