existing platted lots right up to the ponds and property lines with no buffers
whatsoever.
3. 50' buffer. This buffer will be measured (conditional upon a favorable decision
about the proposed wetlands displacement and mitigation) from the edge of the
wetlands including the new mitigated wetlands. Such buffer will be computed on
the basis of average linear distance of our development from the wetlands.
I would very much appreciate your help in taking this final step so we can move this
project successfully to P&Z.
Thank you very much.

Re: Redtail
We are planning to make our final submittal on Redtail on July 15.
Regrettably, I will be leaving town to visit my daughter beginning on Wednesday, July 9,
therefore we should try, your schedules permitting, to have all essential meetings
between us and you later this week or Monday or Tuesday of next week.
I think I have a pretty good understanding of how the LUC interpretation will come out in
final form. Of course, we all will want to review it and consider it carefully in its final
form.
This notwithstanding, however, I would like to meet if you all would be agreeable to
work through the following three issues:
1. Impact of Redtail development on Citv-owned r)rooerty and wetlands to the
south. I will have three sets of reports from a) our wildlife biologist, Mike Phelan
of Cedar Creek, b) our geotechnical engineer, Dave Richer of Terracon, and c)
our hydrological engineer, Paul Clopper of Ayres Associates. I would like to
review these reports and come to a conclusion or understanding about this
matter, as I think it is a critical question for us to be able to confidently put behind
us.
2. Displacement of wetlands. Our proposed development displaces low -quality
wetlands (wetlands -type grass) on a hillside and mitigates it by replacing it one
for one with high -quality wetlands immediately adjacent to the ponds. I believe
the City has consistently requested that we ask for a modification from P&Z to do
this and it is our intention to do just that. We would, of course, need staff support
for our modification and accordingly, I believe it would be beneficial to talk
through this so that we all can have a comfort level about the standards and
principles being applied, the grounds for the modification request, and in a macro
sense, how what we are proposing is "good or better than".
With regard to the last, it is surely significant that what we are proposing is good
or better than what we have a platted right to build, that is, construction on the
