t <br /> Proposed Actions <br /> Granite proposes to replace the two offset rows of Almond Trees with a single row of <br /> Evergreen Trees. This change will serve the following purposes: <br /> 1. Provide better visual screen from Interstates• Evergreens grow much taller and <br /> thicker than do Almond trees thus providing a better visual screen for passing <br /> motorists along I-5 and I-580.. In addition to their size, Evergreens offer a better <br /> visual screen than Almond trees because they retain their foliage throughout the <br /> year. <br /> 2. Provide visual screen for the life of the project: As approved in the Final EIR, <br /> this project has an estimated life of 50 years. Evergreens will provide a visual <br /> screen throughout the Iife of this project without having to be replaced, as would <br /> Almond trees. <br /> 3. Provide better windbreak: Because of the Evergreen size and density they will <br /> provide a better windbreak around the perimeter of the property. This windbreak <br /> would add additional control of airborne particles. <br /> I <br /> 3 <br />
