As we do Capital Improvements to projects citywide. The natural areas, program is a Management Program, a 20year Management Program for how we manage certain land scapes and so some of this work is in the edge of the natural areas, but it is separate as discussed in the environmental evaluation provided. I think something was put on the overhead for you. It does fall within the natural areas program. How many of the proposed tree removals are in that area of the 58 . I could. I would have to make a quick count. But. That is where two of them fell recently, this is an image of that area. I could try to do that and then come back up. So all of the green dots in that natural sort of area just directly it looks like the vast majority are coming out of that area . No. Because they are new. The green ones are new, the red ones are removed. I would have to do a count. I would say, no just roughly looking at it, approximately, 15 or 20. Okay. I would have to do a count. Okay, thank you.

With respect to exiting from the garage.
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.

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
