[6/ 13/07) Per Gary Lopez's (Zoning)comment (#2) about the requirement for trees in
the landscape strip and island along the railroad tracks to the south, what is the
applicant's solution to this requirement? It is understood that the Platte River Power
Authority (PRPA) has stated (in a letter to Don Tiller dated 5/7/07) that: One such
acquired right is the restriction regarding planting of trees in their easement. PRPA
has the right to remove trees and will do so as safety for the public and safe operation
of the electrical system is of utmost concern. Also, there is a strip of land between
this property line and the PRPA easement (in essence, outside of the easement) or
parking lot line that varies from 5' to 10' in width. Why can trees not be planted in
this area?
Additional detail has been provided for the PRPA easements. There is not a
gap between the parking lot line and the south property border. Our solution,
for alternative compliance, is to use shrubs that will shield Timberline Road
tra, ff'ic from the headlights from cars in the parking lot in place of the trees
that are typically planted adjacent to parking spaces. In discussions with
Tom McCormick, PRPA system design engineer, he discouraged the planting of
any trees within their easement, stating that the trees would be removed if
planted within this easement. This restriction includes canopy as well as
ornamental trees.
