He stated the new location would create easier access for the contractor and be more financially feasible. Danielle Desilets, landscape architect with Kyle Zick Landscape Architecture, presented before the Commission. She stated the details have not changed from what was originally permitted. It is a two inch porous paving system going down over two inches of three quarter inch aggregate. The goal is to understand if this flexible porous paving system is what will work. The perimeter loop has exposed roots and makes a hazard so they are looking to make that situation better. The new area is more readily accessible.
