Comments on the Draft CAP 2.0 <br />2021.12.22 <br />THE CITY OF <br />L VI=, <br />PLEASANTON, <br />ATTACHMENT 3: COMMENTS RECEIVED VIA EMAIL <br />From: Varsha Nene <br />Sent: Monday, November 29, 2021 7:23 PM <br />To: Megan Campbell<mcam pbell@cityofpleasantonca.gov> <br />Subject: Re: Draft CAP 2.0 <br />Hello Megan, <br />Great work by City staff and consultants on this urgent matter in a very thorough format. I <br />missed the deadline to comment on the report but wanted to send some comments here: <br />1. For Green Space, parking lots of retail & office buildings could be explored to install trees <br />with large canopies to provide shade for cars as well as help reduce GHG. For existing <br />parking lots, city should allow a slight reduction in required parking spaces to convert into <br />spaces to install trees. Medians don't work well for trees since there isn't enough space for <br />roots to grow. <br />2. City parking lots which need repaving to be installed with permeable asphalt to allow <br />rainwater to percolate into the ground to replenish natural aquifers. <br />3. Carbon sequestration by applying a thin layer of compost on open lands. <br />www. stopwaste- o rq/a bout-stopwaste/news/stopwaste-a n d -pa rtne rs-fig ht-cl i mate -ch a nge- <br />with-compost <br />Thank you for your hard work & dedication! <br />Varsha Nene <br />Principal <br />Harmon Architects <br />http://www.harmonvarchitects.com/ <br />
