[2/28/07] A landscape plan showing a planned streetlight on Birch St. has been sent
to the landscape architect (Eastpoint Studio). It appears that one or more street
trees will need to be relocated or eliminated to meet the clearance requirements
between streetlights and trees.
Topic: Utility plan
Number: 2 Created: 2/28/2007
[2/28/07] It is suggested that the new electric line to cross Birch St. be located 10 ft.
west of the fire line shown on the utility plan. This way the developer only has to
make one patch of the street.
Number: 4 Created: 2/28/2007
[2/28/07] The electric transformer will need to be a minimum of 1.5 ft. north of the
location shown on the utility plan to provide the minimum of 2 ft. between the back of
the sidewalk and the edge of the transformer. It is assumed, but not obvious, that
this relocation will still provide the required 3 ft. of clearance between the back of the
transformer and the edge of the building. Also, please not that the transformer
cannot be located under a building overhang or eve.
Number: 5 Created: 2/28/2007
[2/28/07] In order to confirm the dimensions of the transformer, Light & Power will
need a completed Commercial Service Information (C-1) form for both building's

not further than 300 feet to the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter; residential
within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further
than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter; residential outside
Urban Growth Area, 500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than
400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter.
These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire
sprinkler systems.

personal/business service shops are permitted in this zone district, subject to
Planning and Zoning Board approval, not Administrative approval. If you still intend
