Further, said guidelines shall not prohibit the removal of turf, nor restrict orprohibit the reduction of turf in lieu of more water efficient alternatives. For registeredhistorical sites only, the requirements of this subsection may be waived if it is determined bythe director or Historic Preservation Commission, via referral for determination from thedirector, that this requirement will significantly diminish the ability of the registered historicalsite to convey its historic significance.13.25.100 ViolationA.

From: He, Ling - Livermore, CA [mailto:Ling.He@ca.usda.gov]Sent: Friday, May 14, 2010 4:53 PMTo: Guido, FrankCc: VanHoorn, Pete - Livermore, CASubject: RE: Opportunity to review by May 14 - Livermore draft Water Efficient LandscapeOrdinanceHi Frank,Thanks for the opportunity to review and comment on the Livermore draft Water EfficientLandscape Ordinance. The following are our comments:In "Doc 1...", 13.25.060 (D) (1) d. Section currently discourages invasive species, especiallyCAL-IPC high or moderate-rated species.The environmental and economic impacts of invasive weeds to our local public and privatelandowners, and surrounding communities, are daunting. Combined with the widespreadavailability of a wide variety of non-invasive alternatives, this warrants a restriction on newplantings of listed invasive species. The California Department of Food and Agriculture'sPest Ratings of Noxious Weed Species is another vital list that includes some requirementsfor State and County government to restrict the spread of these species. This effort to revisethe code is a real opportunity to have a positive impact on an uphill battle to fight invasivespecies, an issue of state and national importance, without impacting landscape architects'ability to select from many readily available plants with desirable aesthetic and maintenanceproperties.Instead of the current language, we suggest:Plants listed as invasive (A, B, and C rated) by the California Department of Food andAgriculture, or listed as highly or moderately invasive by the California Invasive PlantCouncil's database of invasive species, shall not be used. The use of other invasive plantspecies is strongly discouraged, especially near parks, greenbelts, waterbodies, water ways,and open spaces because of their potential to harm natural resources and agriculturaloperations.Thanks,Pete Van HoornRange ConservationistAlameda County Resource Conservation District3585 Greenville Road, Suite 2Livermore, CA 94550(925) 371-0154 x123Miao Ling HeRangeland Management SpecialistNatural Resources Conservation Service3585 Greenville Rd., Suite 2Livermore, CA 94550(925)371-0154 Ext 130Atta _Jent_89
