W4 — curbside checkdams setup has been added to West Lake Street to intercept any silt deposits that get to the street. 3. There is no detail for the temporary sediment basin. A note is on the plan which states: "Contractor may build detention basin retaining wall and outlet works to use as a temporary sediment trap while site is under construction. Place rock filter media for sediment trap (1/2" to 3/4" course aggregate) a minimum of V thick and U high in front of well screen on pond outlet structure. Rock filter media & any silt deposits shall be removed prior to seeding and final acceptance of finish graded detention basin." This is thought to be self explanatory. 4-Side Question The Storm Water Management Plan is meant to be a guide for the contractor. The contractor may choose to implement different means and methods to comply with protecting downstream areas from any onsite contaminants. The contractor may therefore update the Storm Water Management Plan from that which was provided to suit his needs accordingly. Page 6 of 6 LOCKWOOD ARCHITECTS, INC., 415 E.

The trash enclosure has been moved approximately 37' further to the north. Has any further consideration been given to the design of the operable gate?..... The gate design has been included as a detail on the site plan. 3. Signs indicating Mosque Only or No Public Parking should be installed in the parking lot south of the gate. "No Public Parking" signs have been indicated on the site plan and in the civil drawings set. 4. On the Landscape Plan, it is unclear whether or not any significant trees are to be removed. Staff is concerned about the removal of the 24-inch Walnut. If so, please indicate and then also indicate how and where these trees are to be mitigated per Section 3.2.1(F). Per an on -site meeting with the City Forester it was determined that three existing Walnut trees should be removed and mitigated. Mitigation is to include upsizing 4 trees for the removal of the 24" Walnut tree, and upsizing 1.5 trees for each of the two 16" Walnut trees the City Forester has determined may not survive the installation of new parking lot curb and gutter. The total mitigation is 7 trees and is indicated on the Landscape Plan. 5. On the Landscape Plan, the note indicates that nuisance trees are to be removed at the owner's option. Shouldn't these trees be removed as a matter of course? There are a lot of existing trees on site. It is the Owner's intent to clear underbrush, clean up the area, and save as many trees as possible. Much of this work will be completed by the Islamic Center community members on a voluntary basis. The initial clean up would occur immediately. Any removal of nuisance trees by these volunteers may occur over time at the Owner's option and to the availability of those volunteers. Page I of 6 LOCKWOOD ARCHITECTS, INC., 415 E. Pitkin Street.
