48 ' <br />- If the Parks Council is involved in recommending parks that include <br />preservation of natural or other environmentally-sensitive areas, <br />the Commission for the Environment would like to be consulted and <br />involved .in the decision process. In particular, the Commission <br />would like to be~ involved in the design of the park (i.e., access, <br />facilities, etc.) so that careful consideration is given to limiting <br />access to significant natural areas, as well as commenting on other <br />environmental considerations. <br />- The Commission for the Environment wishes to continue to reserve <br />the right to recommend and advise the Board of Commissioners on <br />preservation and acquisition of important natural areas, wildlife <br />habitat and riparian. buffers, whether within or outside of a park <br />concept. <br />Thank you fior the opportunity to review and comment on this excellent <br />report. <br />Copies: `: ]ohn Link, County Manager <br />David Stantil, ERC Director <br />F: \USERS\DSTANCIL\CFE\MRPCO M MT.OOC <br />
