Parks Manager" and that it will be 3" caliper with 7 ft branching height.

2. The traffic on Highway 99 travels at a pretty high speed which means that the easier it is
to see pedestrians trying to cross 234th, the safer it is, especially for cars turning up
234th. The plants proposed adjacent to the pedestrian ramp range in height at full
growth between 2 ft to 4 ft. The areas with the Spirea and Lavender are of the most
concern. Please revise the planting plan with low growing plantings for this area.
Response: Please see response from the Landscape architect.
