He asked if the lanes for Main St. could be reduced as part of this plan. Staff Member Thomas said that the plan is to reduce Main St. to three lanes in a later phase of the Site A development. Board Member Curtis asked if the output from the different street lights were equal. Staff Member Thomas said they were, and that they were reviewed by AMP and APD. He said the board is only considering the design aspects. President Knox White opened the public hearing. Georgia Madden, a local landscape architect, said she is concerned about the choice of the blackwood acacia. She said it would be very problematic. She said they can escape cultivation and damage streets and sidewalks. She hoped the board would reconsider use of this tree. The landscape architect confirmed that the tree was a problem and was not included in the final plan. President Knox White closed the public hearing. Board Member Sullivan said the palm trees chosen were not her favorite and asked why a more graceful option was not chosen.
