Presentation. So, i am also a park user and i would like to say thank you for hearing the appeal and considering our concerns. It is absolutely not correct that spending a half Million Dollars for a repeated Community Workshops replaces the compliance with the Environmental Control regulations. The workshops are more about marketing a product, rather than the project so that they can make sound decisions. If you look at the certificate of determination, it is specifically says that there is no work in the natural areas, and that there is work on the hillside. There was a quick email that was sent after we filed the appeal saying that well that was not going to change their determination from the department of planning but that is not a valid, evaluation that would go to the departments to come to that certificate of determination. So, regular citizens and others have to comply with the Environmental Control regulations and so too should the city. So i have to say, ask yourself, where i
Going to go into the natural areas, we are going to cut down dozens of trees in the natural areas. That was not discussed. It was not even apparently disclosed to the Environmental Review officer. Because the Environmental Review officer specifically said that the proposed project would not involve any work in the Glen Canyon Park natural area. It wasnt. It was with that in mind, presumably and based on that information, that the planning commission, awarded the contract in august. And it is only after this appeal was filed, that the Planning Department realizes oops, in fact we are doing this in the natural areas. This is something that was completely under the radar, it was not disclosed to the public and it was not disclosed to anybody. And so to accuse these people of delaying when it was not really until october that somehow everybody came to the realization that this was in the natural areas is really unfair to the opponents to this project and to suggest that the opponents of th
Portion where the photo synthesis occurs, on the surface of every leaf are pores to which Carbon Dioxide is pulled out of the atmosphere, they are like natural vacuums that move the pollution from the air. They plan to cut down 190 trees over all in the multiple projects for glen park. Which will result in more pollution to the debt triment to all of us in the city. Just think of how that will effect the children with asthma. Park and rec say that these trees will be replaced by seedings. How many seedings would actually replace the function of one large tree . 50 . 100 . There is not enough land to substitute, 100 seedings for one tree. The roots of the tree burrow deep into the earth serving for protection against the erosion, if they were cut the space for the Tennis Courts the roots will die and the hill will slide down right under the courts. What is the point of spending millions of dollars that the city doesnt have to move a set of perfectly functional Tennis Courts . The tree s
Tree removal and we have ignored the rich pallet that has been proposed. Although it is not an ecological project, it still does offer an opportunity to increase the biological diversity of our park and neighborhood and to offer Environmental Education opportunities. Not everyone agrees that no tree should ever be removed for any reason unless it poses an immediate hazard to life or property. Trees stand very often need to be thinned for their own health and longevitity. We absolutely need trees, including the many nonnative trees that will remain, there is no deforest station proposed, contrary to what many are saying. For a healthy and attractive we need a diversity of ages and species. This project is not going to harm owls or any other species and it is sad that so many people have been given that impress. Please deny the appeal. Thank you. Thank you. Next, speaker, please. Betsy any and i am speaking as the president of the Diamond Heights association. Prior to the meeting we subm
