17 <br /> 604 Charity Kirk: All right, I see maybe the numbers guy. <br /> 605 <br /> 606 Beth Trahos: Oh, sorry. <br /> 607 <br /> 608 Don Sever: Good evening. Don Sever with Bowman Consulting. We have approximately 10 percent of the <br /> 609 sites in riparian buffers. That's around 8 acres. <br /> 610 <br /> 611 Charity Kirk: Okay, so around 8 acres. <br /> 612 <br /> 613 Beth Trahos: Seventy remaining acres. <br /> 614 <br /> 615 Charity Kirk: So that would be, so really,you can build probably 70 houses on it. Okay. Thank you. Thank <br /> 616 you very much. I know that was an ask. I didn't realize. <br /> 617 <br /> 618 Beth Trahos: Not a problem. <br /> 619 <br /> 620 Charity Kirk: Yes. I think I'm done. Thank you. <br /> 621 <br /> 622 Lamar Proctor: Liz, do you want to ask any questions of the applicant? I don't think you were here last time. <br /> 623 <br /> 624 Liz Kalies: Oh yeah, thanks.The only question I had is how many acres of trees will be cleared for the <br /> 625 project? Just asking the inverse of what you are leaving behind, I guess. <br /> 626 <br /> 627 Beth Trahos: So, again I will ask Don to tell us the number. <br /> 628 <br /> 629 Donna Crowder: I just want to add just so you know that this, because of the nature of this kind of subdivision,we <br /> 630 will only clear the roads. It will not be mass cleared. And I know that's a concern for a lot of <br /> 631 people, but it will only be cleared enough to get the roads in there and then enough to put the <br /> 632 houses and the main drain field, the primary drain field. The repair fields will not be cleared. That <br /> 633 is the only clearing that will take place by us. Just to let you know that. <br /> 634 <br /> 635 Liz Kalies: Okay,yeah, that's getting at my question for sure. <br /> 636 <br /> 637 Don Sever: And as far as tree protection goes,we have 22 acres in primary tree protection area and 27 acres <br /> 638 in secondary tree protection area,to be a total of 49 acres or 62 percent. <br /> 639 <br /> 640 Liz Kalies: 60 percent remaining?Okay. All right,thanks. <br /> 641 <br /> 642 Lamar Proctor: And how do you distinguish between primary and secondary? Like primary means we aren't <br /> 643 touching it; secondary means we'll take down things that are certain diameters? Is that how that <br /> 644 works? <br /> 645 <br /> 646 Beth Trahos: It's a code definition. Primary and secondary is a UDO definition that we may not know off the top <br /> 647 off our heads. <br /> 648 <br /> 649 Charity Kirk: I didn't get the number either. What was the answer to the question? <br /> 650 <br /> 651 Don Sever: The answer is 63 acres are going to be left in tree preservation. <br /> 652 <br /> 653 Taylor Perschau: Is the question about how much is being disturbed?Could you repeat the question maybe? <br /> 654 <br /> 655 Lamar Proctor: That was Liz's question. <br /> 656 <br /> 657 Liz Kalies: My original question was how many acres are being cleared. How many are left works too. <br /> 658 <br />
