" ' <br /> I would recommend the provision of some type of access from <br /> • the proposed greenway to a point adjoining the Heritage Hills <br /> Recreation Area. The residents of this existing subdivision <br /> are currently using the tract denoted as "greenway" and will <br /> probably continue to do So, even upon the development of the <br /> • , proposed subdivision. Provision of a designated "access way" <br /> down to the area could prevent unauthorized pedestrian , <br /> traffic from the Heritage Hills Recreation Area going across <br /> proposed lots 25, 26, and 27 and onto the greenway. <br /> I recommend a 30' easement be provided along the denoted 20' <br /> Type A Buffer area as shown on the attached. (This would <br /> give additional buffer to the current Heritage Hills - <br /> residents whose homes back up to the proposed lots 25, 26, <br /> • <br /> and 27. ) From my limited knowledge of the legal terminology, <br /> I woul-d th-ink a--"-conservation easement" would be the <br /> appropriate designation, allowing the land to be retained in <br /> private ownership. Please confer with Mr. Gledhill on this mmendation, Emily. <br /> - . <br /> Offices located at 300 W.
