There Is no reason that there can't be a mlx of different trees, evergreen, deciduous, ornamental, etc. along this tree buffer. This would give it diversity and be most likely to satisfy each individual neighbors interests and preferences concernsin shish of you Also I have.am interested in your thoughts on the project and other Bruce Cohen has suggested that we have another Busch Court neighborhood se. I would welcome this meeting but that it be at a Busch Court neighbor's hou opportunity and will adapt my schedule as possible to meet this need.

Thanks again to all of you for raising questions which need to be resolved, concerns you have and ideas relating to our Indian Hills Village project. Your Input has helped and will continue to help make this a better project. As most of you are aware, I believe, the Timberline debate took most of the P & Z Board's time on Monday night and we were postponed for two weeks. In fact this time will be beneficial and we can use it to fine tune and improve solutions and designs. Two particularly important and interrelated issues are storm drainage and buffer. All parties must be satisfied that the storm drainage solution is a good one and confident from an engineering standpoint that it without a shadow of a doubt handles the 133% times hundred year flood storm water volume. Furthermore it is desirable that the storm drainage treatment be aesthetic as it Is a significant part of the adjacent Indian Hills Village neighbors living environment. It must be consistent with an adequate and attractive buffer. The question of buffer is complicated by the fact that there is a significant buffer along most of the west boundary line, however, the City Forester and most of the residents agree that it is made up of an undesirable tree type which is largely unhealthy and has been poorly maintained, and perhaps the whole tree row should be eliminated. However from a planning standpoint, I think, and an immediate buffering standpoint (for the next one - five years at a minimum), the existing buffer should probably be maintained, thinned (remove dead, sick, unsafe trees) and additional supplemental and replacement trees planted. This program will continue on an annual basis with an annual review beginning this year by the City Forester. We will inv►te the input of each adjacent Busch Court neighbor with regard to this process in order to be sensitive to your specific and individual needs, even though the tress are located entirely on our property. The challenge I believe which we are, with your input, meeting is to do the best possible job of both handling the storm water and providing a buffer both for the benefit of this project and for the benefit of Busch Court neighbors. i_ast week I was presented, I thought, with an offer by the Busch Court neighbors to support the project in exchange for dropping two lots, and that this would represent in the Busch Court neighbors' ideas a solution, Perhaps I eptance misinterpreted offer was misunderstood your offer. In any case my attempted rejected and is hereby withdrawn as i believe it is more important for all parties involved to focus our time and energy (and our money) on giving you the best possible functional and aesthetic storm drainage and buffer solutions as indicated above.
