Turner Subject: Re: Engineering Review - 520 North Arm Dear Evelyn, Good morning. Bonestroo has received the plan from Prairie Restorations on Thursday Sept. 18th. Have you received notification that it passes their exam? Also, John Smyth indicated that a 8' wide path is allowed through the 50' buffer. Is this specified in the code? Could you direct me to that passage? Thanks. Tim Evelyn M. Turner wrote: >If you have questions about the review please contact Darren directly. > >Evelyn Turner >City Planner 1
