216 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 712 <br /> 713 Liz Kalies: Yeah. <br /> 714 <br /> 715 Cy Stober: And I don't want to answer a question that wasn't asked, but I thought I heard a question about the <br /> 716 difference between primary and secondary open space? Okay. Primary open space is generally, <br /> 717 it's identified by the county,and it's generally the most sensitive areas of the county's <br /> 718 environmental assets, so the 100-year and 500-year floodplains,the wetlands,the steep slopes, <br /> 719 which are slopes over 15 percent in grade, and then any areas that have been identified by the <br /> 720 county, in addition to the state,as having cultural or environmental value. So there's a natural <br /> 721 heritage inventory dataset, but there's also cultural resources that Peter Sandbeck has identified <br /> 722 countywide that are within those resource protection areas and public interest areas that are on <br /> 723 properties. And those are generally the primary open space. Secondary open space includes <br /> 724 some recreational features, so that would include the trails,which there will need to be clearing for <br /> 725 those trails, I want to be clear about that, some minimal clearing unless there are already open, <br /> 726 cleared areas. But those are permitted as secondary open space. But also less steep slopes, so <br /> 727 slopes between 8 and 15 percent, and then the riparian buffers are primary open space, but then <br /> 728 there's additional kind of natural features that are seen as secondary open space, but that's kind <br /> 729 of the broad overview. <br /> 730 <br /> 731 Lamar Proctor: And I think it would be helpful if we could put the site plan up on the monitors. I think that's part of <br /> 732 the slideshow, right? <br /> 733 <br /> 734 Beth Trahos: It is,yeah. <br /> 735 <br /> 736 Lamar Proctor: Just to get a visual for the board. <br /> 737 <br /> 738 Beth Trahos: Yes, and this is the same slideshow that we had for September 3rd. <br /> 739 <br /> 740 Lamar Proctor: Yeah. <br /> 741 <br /> 742 Beth Trahos: So we can go to whatever pages you want to reference again, but this is it. Is that what you <br /> 743 wanted? <br /> 744 <br /> 745 Lamar Proctor: Yes. <br /> 746 <br /> 747 Beth Trahos: Okay. <br /> 748 <br /> 749 Lamar Proctor: All right, Liz, did you have any other questions for the applicant? <br /> 750 <br /> 751 Liz Kalies: No, I'm good. Thank you. <br /> 752 <br /> 753 Lamar Proctor: Okay. Do any other board members have any additional questions for the applicant? Beth, I see <br /> 754 you raising your hand. <br /> 755 <br /> 756 Beth Bronson: Yes. If anybody else would like to go, I'm more than welcome to wait. Thanks. Hi, Beth. And this <br /> 757 may also be well answered by with traffic. This is in relation to traffic. I want to thank you for the <br /> 758 proposed development entry egress, and then the updated notes on numbers dated September <br /> 759 27th, so this would have been after our meeting. And you are, as you said, revised numbers <br /> 760 about the daily trips based on the bedrooms or the available cars. <br /> 761 <br /> 762 Charity Kirk: This, this isn't his document. <br /> 763 <br /> 764 Josh Reinke: This is not their document. <br /> 765 <br /> 766 Beth Bronson: Not their document. <br />
