Lot 9 will be put on a slab on grade foundation (same as Lots 7 and 8) and <br />therefore, its height will be lowered by one foot. Lots 2 through 4 will be reduced in size <br />due to moving the homes further away from the top of the bank. See the chart attached. <br /> <br />5. Saving more trees with relocation. <br />OUf current plans show the removal of 12 trees. Four of these trees can be saved by <br />relocating them on the site. <br /> <br />Tree #27 - Canary Island Date Palm: 45 feet in height and 25 feet in spread. <br />Move to the right front of Lot 8 near the western entrance to the subdivision. <br /> <br />Tree #5 - Canary Island Date Palm: 20 feet in height and 20 feet in spread. <br />Move to the front of Lot 8 on the left side. <br /> <br />Tree #26 - Palm Tree: 12 feet in height and 25 feet in spread. <br />Move to the court yard of Lot 8 or in front of Lot 4. <br /> <br />Tree #44 - Redwood Tree: 35 feet in height, 10 feet in spread <br />Move to the right front side of Lot 9. <br /> <br />In addition there is a maple tree not listed as a tree because of its size. We will <br />move this to the front of one of the lots. <br /> <br />See attached diagram and tree photos. <br /> <br />6. Curb extension on Finf:er A venue and Avondale A venue. <br />We will construct curb extension between the commercial properties and the residential <br />properties on both Finger A venue and A vondale A venue. These curb extension would <br />include a column, a tree, and vegetation. The storm water would drain through them. <br />The benefits - <br />a. Would separate the commercial from the residential by the framing of the street <br />with the curb extensions, trees, and columns. <br />b. Would slow or discourage traffic from using either street for commuting. <br />c. Would filter the storm water as recommended by "San Mateo County <br />Sustainable Green Streets and Parking Lots Design Guidebook". <br />d. A plaque could be put on the columns with historic information, like honoring <br />the Fingers. <br /> <br />The negative would be that one parking space will be lost on Finger A venue. <br />See the exhibits showing concept drawings. <br /> <br />7. A roundabout f:arden at the intersection of Hyde and Fin~er. <br />The roundabout would be similar to what was originally there when the Finger <br />subdivision was created in 1906. We cannot put a large oak tree in the middle of it but <br />
