SICHTER:Those are palms also. <br />LEE:-they were seedlings. <br />SICHTER:What I meant, what I was starting to say was that they were more saplings <br />than seedlings. <br />SPRINGER:And they€re fully irrigated and fertilized and-? <br />SICHTER:Yes, we€ve actually had a lot of success with all of the vegetation except <br />for the Wiliwili. <br />SPRINGER:And the other trees, the tall trees the alahee, the koaia, those have all been <br />installed? <br />SICHTER:Everything€s been installed now. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. <br />SICHTER:If I might add, make one more note that I failed to make earlier. When we <br />preparedthisphotographitcametoourattentionthatthisstormdraininthesouth,southeastor <br />southwestern corner of the plant had not appeared on the original plot-plan. So we have added <br />that and it is identified as item 56 in the lower left corner and there€s a second storm drain that is <br />just above parking lot in the upper corner and it€s also identified as item 56. Those are existing <br />storm drains and they just were inadvertently omitted from the original plot plan. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA:Yes you mentioned planting the Norfolk Island Pines interspersed with the <br />palms. And I could see how once they all get big that would give you some pretty good upper <br />canopy type of coverage because Norfolk Pines would come to a point but the fronds from the <br />palms would fill in that empty space. However that would then leave your lower level open and <br />visible. So I€m wondering if you were planning on later on down the line if this is part of your <br />plan to fill in your-, I wouldn€t say your lower canopy because it€s lower than that with some <br />thick shrubs or something like that. <br />SICHTER:Actually if I may approach you€ll find as we all know the Norfolk pine has <br />a pyramid shape broad at the base pointed at the peak. And the Norfolk pines are located in such <br />a way that when they grow higher those bases of those Norfolk pines, the foliage is going to be <br />much broader and it€s intended to fill in and cover this building space as much as is practical. <br />SIRACUSA:I understand that. I€m thinking of Norfolk pines that I know personally. <br />That have gotten very large and now the broadest branches are above my head. And granted <br />they stick out a long ways but they€re still-. <br />SICHTER:You€re saying there€s trunk height before the first fronds yeah? <br />EXHIBIT G <br />10 <br /> <br />
