The design modification Xcel Energy is proposing has been developed to reduce the area of construction and physically push it further into the existing landfill framework. Trees within the construction footprint that will be impacted, nonetheless, were identified and evaluated on April 4, 2006, by Sharon Sarappo, an Xcel Energy environmental analyst. Sharon will report her findings to Oak Park Heights Arborist, Kathy Widen. Xcel Energy will tender the applicable fee to allow the city to replace these trees in accordance with the existing tree ordinance. Any grassed areas on Xcel Energy's property that are inadvertently damaged during this construction event will be reseeded to establish new growth. Again, the purpose of this permit modification is to reduce King plant's impact on the existing landscape and improve the long -term usefulness of the site for its neighbors and city residents.
