• <br /> -- ,Maximize Filtration of Stormwater This issue is not addressed in the LSP. <br /> Consider Characteristics of Trees and Vegetation Used for Landscaping The LSP proposes <br /> adoption of a residential street tree program. The specific ordinance has not been created yet, <br /> although the issues outlined in your memo have been discussed by LSP staff, and have been <br /> forwarded to Urban Forester who will be creating a set of urban forestry standards and _ <br /> specifications in conjunction with ordinance adoption. <br /> Minimizing Connections of Impervious Areas to the Street Drainage System The LSP proposes <br /> setback sidewalks on all new local streets which would allow for sidewalk drainage into <br /> vegetated areas. Recommendations affecting on -site drainage area not included in the LSP. <br /> Alternative Curb and Gutter Options See discussion of Storm Drainage and Treatment Facilities, <br /> above. <br /> Alternative Materials for Paving The LSP does not address alternative paving materials.. <br /> Reduce Trip Lengths and VMT Street connection standards and private street standards are both <br /> recommended in the LSP; both should reduce out -of- direction travel caused by a disconnected <br /> street system and work to promote more direct routes to destinations. These changes favor <br /> increased use of alternative modes of transportation. In addition, the LSP is looking at providing <br /> some direction and design consideration for transit routes in future residential development areas. <br /> Thank you for providing us with your recommendations. We will provide the DAC with copies <br /> of the draft Local Street Plan once it is printed.
