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 /> ♦ All housing units should include as part of the purchase an electric lawn mower and <br /> an electric edger. <br /> Finally, one of the issues that will arise in conjunction with any proposed <br /> renovation/demolition of existing building in the project area is compliance with the <br /> National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS). Specifically, the <br /> primary air pollutant of concern is asbestos. To ascertain whether this project is subject <br /> to 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.
