Doug,
Jon would also like to meet with you to go over the various drawings
that

RE: Redtail / Wetlands
Hi Vicki,
By wetland exhibits does Jon mean how he is plans/graphics that he will be presenting to the Planning &
Zoning Board showing how Redtail is complying with the buffer standards? I do the final plans/graphics
and calculations that he is planning to define his case with.
Right now the outstanding issues that I thought would be discussed that Fridays meeting would be related
to the last submittal which shows a large major of trees (riparian forest) being removed. Like wetlands the
Land Use Code does not have a provision in its that says a forests can just be removed. This forest is
mapped as a natural habitat and feature on the Natural Habitats and Features Inventory Map and is to be
preserved and protected with a 50' buffer area. On site visits with Jon where we discussed possible
location for access the riparian forest was pointed out with instructions that this forest is to be preserved
and buffered from the development project. I did attend a meeting with Tim and Jon related to the
removal of a tree adjacent to parking along Fossil Boulevard and agreed to the tree's removal and
mitigation. I had a meeting earlier this afternoon with Tim Buchanan and have found that the tree
mitigation plan does not relate to the utility drawings or the landscape plan. These drawing must reflect
what will actually happen in the field and we need to discuss 3.4.1(E) and how it relates to the Riparian
Forest.
Our other outstanding issue relates to the retaining walls located within the buffer zones. This doesn't
meet the requirements of section 3.4.1(1) related to design and aesthetics as it relates to natural habitats
and features and to the visual character of natural habitats. I will need information from; Jon, Trish and
Linda's offices on they are planning to meet this standard. I understand that Jon is currently out town. I
feel that for Fridays meeting to be productive we will need to have drawings to review and discuss at the
meeting.
Thank you,

I spoke with Jon about this. He wants to show the wetland exhibits to you
this Friday and wants to try to do it after the 10 a.m. meeting with
everyone. Would this work for you?
Vicki
