Home My WebLink AboutARB201600138 Correspondence 2017-01-10 Margaret Maliszewski From: Maria Tiegs <mtiegs@sehinc.com> Sent: Tuesday,January 10, 2017 1:59 PM To: Margaret Maliszewski Subject: ARB-2016-138: Crozet WTP Finished Water Pump Station Attachments: 20170110124249032.pdf Margaret, Paty had emailed me that it appears that our proposed landscape plan may not address the comments form the ARB From my understanding the ARB is concerned with visibility of the condensers, generator and transformer. I also understand that they are concerned about this visibility from the maintenance clearing. We are not able to move the transformer very far but it has been shifted so that it is completely behind the trees that will be left in place The attached document shows the sight lines from the maintenance clearing The Holly will grow to 10'wide and the Red Cedar will grow 10 to 20 feet wide. I have marked these diameters on the attached document. As the document shows the Holly and the Cedar intersect all of the site lines. The Cedar along the drive and the cedars that will be added to the existing trees and brush will provide additional screening to the generator and building I think that the landscape plan addresses the ARB comments and concerns If I am missing something please let me know Thanks, Maria Tiegs I Graduate Engineer SEH 111 Civic Center Plaza, Suite 200 I Mankato, MN, 56001-7710 507 237 8378 direct 1507 508 4707 mobile 1888.908.8166 fax www.sehinc.com SEH - Building a Better World for All of Us 1 1.
