z The Planning Staff received a revised submission to answer the above concerns and met with neighbors. 9) Fines and Penalties- In regard to fines and penalties associated with the Sunrise Springs project, the following, information is provided for your consideration. The Erosion Control fee for this project was doubled. This amounted to a $1250.00 fine for starting work without a permit. In addition, a mitigation program of augmented landscaping above county code requirements was agreed to in the amount of $25,000.00 or more. This compensates for trees removed in excess of the minimum required to construct the road. The outline of this mitigation response is mandated by inclusion of the subdivision support document dated November 17, 2000, which will be part of the Resolution of Approval, if the board so decides. The enhanced landscaping and berming suggested by the applicant, in my opinion, will sufFciently ameliorate the impact of the development.
