Andros, Pamela From: Michael J.

(dbirrenkott @birrenkottsurveying.corn); 'Mark Pynnonen' Subject: Bear Tree Farms - Environmental Corridor Reconciliation - Corrected Pam, I had the opportunity today to look at the CARPC environmental corridors for Bear Tree in comparison to the proposed land use map submitted with the USA amendment that was approved in 2012. It appears that all 8 of the environmental corridor parcels which CARPC is showing in their system were newly added environmental corridors that arose from the USA amendment application in 2012. They all appear to be either proposed parks, proposed stormwater areas, or lands that were proposed for some type of private preservation area, such as a wooded buffer area on certain private lots. None of them are wetlands, navigable waterways, flood plains, or any kind of existing public facility. In our new plat, some of these park and stormwater areas have been moved around, and some of the preservation lands may have been reshaped somewhat, as compared to the USA application. None of this should affect our ability to develop the lots and streets proposed in the current version of the Bear Tree plat that you are considering, as they are all the typical corridor adjustments that need to be made as a plan moves from the USA amendment/comprehensive plan stage to the platting stage. In most communities, we normally put a condition of approval on the plat that these kinds of environmental corridors be reconciled when the plat is approved and the information provided to CARPC as a minor amendment to the corridors, at which point CARPC staff amends their maps to conform to the plat. We hope to have the Town of Windsor's approval of our preliminary plat tomorrow, at which point all of these locations will be finalized from the point of view of the local government. It would seem to me that a resolution by the Town approving the preliminary plat, which would then be provided to the County planning/zoning staff and to CARPC staff as an amendment to the corridors, would take care of this issue.
