Board Member Bentz asked if there may be an interest in considering recommendations for <br />planting certain species near drain fields and recommendations for certain species based on lot <br />size. <br /> <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that he thought it may make <br />sense for a recommendation to not plant any tree(s) within a certain distance of a drain field, <br />regardless of species, to avoid potential conflicts between roots and the system. <br /> <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator discouraged identifying certain species for certain <br />lot sizes. If there was something that could be done to limit potential impacts to adjacent <br />properties, maybe a recommendation that trees be planted a certain distance from a property line, <br />which would help limit potential future conflicts as trees grow in size. <br /> <br />Board Member Bentz stated that one time last month he and his family were at central park in the <br />afternoon and the irrigation system was on and he questioned why it would be running in the <br />middle of the day. <br /> <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that he did not know why it was <br />on but was sure that there must have been a logical reason for it. He stated he would follow up <br />with the Parks Division regarding this. <br /> <br />Board Member Bentz suggested creating a seasonal check list for irrigation system owners that <br />could be included in a newsletter or on the website. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Enstrom and seconded by Board Member Carlson to adjourn the <br />meeting. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:11 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />________________________________ <br />Chris Anderson <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator <br />Environmental Policy Board / October 3, 2011 <br />Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br />
