Hi Alexia,
We would like to comment that the city should require (not just strongly recommend) LEED or equivalent
buildings for all new taxpayer paid construction.
We also would like to see them beef up the section about retaining existing trees (especially mature trees) and
natural areas which happen to exist in an area slated for development. It takes no special skills or vision to mow
down everything on a parcel of land and build all anew, including landscaping. However, it does take leadership
to insist that, at least when there is taxpayer money involved, we don’t use tax dollars to pay for placing NEW
trees onto a cleared lot if there are already mature trees on the property that could be saved.
Thanks for passing these comments along to the appropriate place.
