There would <br />not be tree loss directly related to storm water ponding. He pointed out that the proposed lot <br />sizes are approximately a quarter of an acre and each site would get two front yard trees. He <br />stated that a concern raised by adjacent residents that they would like to see more of a buffer has <br />been addressed with the plan. He spoke about reforestation standards and their interpretations. <br />Board Member Lewis asked about the area between phase one and two. <br />City Planner Anderson replied that it may be ponding for the site. <br />Board Member Lewis asked if it was a ponding area or swale. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated his assumption that it is needed for storm <br />water purposes. <br />Environmental Policy Board / March 30, 2015 <br />Page 2 of 9 <br />
