If transit service is not currently available, but is <br /> planned for the future, appropriate easements should be reserved to provide for <br /> future improvements such as bus turnouts, loading areas, and shelters. <br /> ♦ Sidewalks and bikepaths should be installed throughout as much of the project as <br /> possible and should be connected to any nearby open space areas, parks, schools, <br /> commercial areas, etc. <br /> ♦ Natural gas lines and electrical outlets should be installed in patio areas to <br /> encourage the use of gas and/or electric barbecues. <br /> In addition, one of the issues that will arise in conjunction with any proposed demolition <br /> of the existing buildings in the project area is compliance with the National Emission <br /> Standards for Hazardous Air pollutants (NESHAPS). Specifically, the primary air <br /> pollutant of concern is asbestos. To ascertain whether this project is subject to <br /> NESHAPS, the project applicant is advised to review the enclosed Asbestos — <br /> Compliance Assistance Bulletin, dated December 1994. Leaf Sexton is the Northern <br /> Region's District contact for the program and is available should you need further <br /> assistance. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If you have any questions, please feel free <br /> to contact me at (209) 557-6400. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 1 <br /> John Cadrett <br /> Air Quality Planner APCD REF#20010123 <br /> Northern Region <br />
