This is in addition to other air filtration requirements for the villa units; 3) regarding windows, remove the condition of approval language allowing closed and operable windows as a possible exterior to interior noise reduction feature; 4) require photovoltaic panels on the flat portion of the central plant roof; and 5) update the tree preservation conditions of approval to reflect the removal of 10 trees which were deemed an immediate threat to persons and property. There are over 1300 new trees proposed to be installed as part of the CLC project. Replacement trees are required for those removed Mr. Bocian presented the 17 -acre Neighborhood Park, stating that one of the goals of the park was to attempt to integrate its design with the 4.8 -acre Community Park south of the project.
