I know the PB will need to weigh the trade off here, but I hope they will give strong consideration to increase landscaping and tree cover in that neighborhood. This plan was well thought out (given the space limitations involved), and will provide aesthetic and environmental benefits to the entire community. If I can provide any further help or information please let me know. - John parry
