The following is a brief summary of my <br /> comments. <br /> Site <br /> The landform slopes steeply from the north and west toward a highway storm pond located in the <br /> southeast corner of the site at the intersection of Highway 12 and Brown Road N. The upper slopes <br /> and adjacent hills are covered with a dense mixed woods. The woods includes sucessional growth <br /> along with numerous types of volunteer deciduous and evergreen trees,and brush along the edges and <br /> around the ponding area. <br /> This woods and the strong landform currently serve as a dense buffer between the project site and the <br /> existing Sugar Hills residential development to the north. <br /> Landscape Plan <br /> 1. The plan shows a silt fence between the building and northern boundary. This line generally <br /> describes the approximate grading and construction limits for the project and the approximate <br /> preservation line for the existing woods. However,trees that are close to the grading limits <br /> may need to be removed if too much of their root system is damaged by construction. In <br /> addition,the larger trees remaining along this newly exposed edge will be especially <br /> susceptible to wind throw. <br /> e vic,7�nz 7 cAnl <br />
