planning and engineering details to be corrected, but I don't believe there should be
many.
This would enable us to go at this late date (2 1/2 years so far) to the finish line, actually
to P&Z, with this project with staff approval, efficiently and without another full round of
preliminary review.
Thank you for your consideration of this idea. Of course feel free to share copies of this
letter with your colleagues and / or I would be happy to meet with any or all of you.
Best regards.
Sincerely,

Re: Redtail
Thanks for taking the time to look over the latest Redtail site plan with me recently.
I really believe that the addition of the meandering 20' emergency access roadway
(roadbase surface, not asphalt) connecting the Redtail project to the south to Fossil
Creek Boulevard at the north will solve all of this project's major problems and permit
both staff and later P&Z support.
This has become possible, as I mentioned, because of our new understanding that we
can backfill the section of the banking in this area as necessary because we are
impacting only waters of the US, not wetlands, provided of course we do not impact the
outflow channel.
I reviewed this solution with JR Engineering and we believe that, with a green light from
the City, we can proceed confidently, with the engineering design.
The benefit of this solution is that it eliminates the environmental impact on wetlands
and existing vegetation which would otherwise have occurred on the low side of the
outflow of the upper pond, as this is all now moved 20 or 30' to the north (onto the
backfill area).
Also our waterline looping would occur under this emergency access road which solves
all the problems we have had in some previous iterations relating to water pressure and
volume.
Lastly, there is a substantial ancillary benefit of this solution in that it will provide an
easy and direct pedestrian and bike path from the Redtail project to the south north to
Fossil Boulevard.
Accordingly, Cameron, would you please consider raising the idea with your colleagues,
and other department people, that in the. current round of review that you all approve
this project subject to completing satisfactory engineering plans for this emergency
access roadway as proposed above. Of course there will be some other technical
