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.
