a <br /> E.I. Ordinance,. EDC Comments <br /> • <br /> March 22, 1989 <br /> Page 4 <br /> • <br /> Section 2.2.7 (b). Sites listed in inventories. We question <br /> the legal status of these inventories, especially when value <br /> judgements are involved, and we question whether this could <br /> or should apply to both public and private land. <br /> Section 2.2.7 (c) "Land with slopes in excess of 25%, etc." <br /> What is the reason for this? Site plans and erosion control <br /> measures are already required. <br /> Section 2.2.7 (Last Paragraph) "...the Planning Department <br /> shall issue a finding of no significant impact (FONSI)." <br /> When? Needs a deadline; we suggest two weeks is sufficient. <br /> Section 2.3 Environmental Impact Statement. <br /> Section 2.3.4: "Disturbs any site identified in an inventory <br /> of sites, etc." We believe this should apply only to items in <br /> the public domain. What does "disturb" mean? If an historic <br /> site shows 150 acres on its deed and the adjacent site is 150 <br /> acres also, a development on the adjacent site is compelled <br /> to have an Environmental Impact Statement even if it is 3/4 <br /> mile away from the historic focal point. It would be better <br /> to specify a linear distance from the historic focal point. <br />
