Memorandum
To: Elizabeth Marotta, Current Development Project Planner
From: Phil Custer, Current Development engineering review
Date: 29 June 2009
Subject: AT &T Tower on the Elledge Property (SDP- 2008 - 00178)
The site plan for the AT &T Tower on the Elledge Property has been reviewed. The engineering review for
current development can recommend approval after the following comments have been addressed:
1. This project will need to be granted a waiver to disturb critical slopes from the Planning
Commission. Engineering review of the critical slope waiver will be given in a separate letter.
2. A note stating that tree protection fencing is to be placed at the dripline of the tree has been
provided. However, grading has been shown inside the fencing of tree #9, the 32" Chestnut Oak.
In order for this tree to be protected adequately, all construction should be pulled outside of the
dripline (which does not appear to be surveyed specifically since all trees have the same 13ft
canopy). A tree wall /well is most likely required for this site in order to protect adjacent trees. I
also recommend that the dripline of each tree be verified in the field to assure adequate protection
in the design.
