The applicant has a purchase agreement <br />with the Carpenter trust. The property is surrounded by Old Crystal Bay Road on the <br />west and driveway to the south and east. The drainage flows from the north to the <br />desicnated wetland, then east via a culvert under drive and eventually to French Lake <br />lower basin <br />The applicant has asked the commission to look at the findings and hardships. The code <br />would require an iirtemal road as well as a cul-de-sac. This plan results in the removal or <br />660 trees and the fiUinc of 2400 s.f of wetland type 1 and 2. and major portions ot <br />designated wetland for access to the east lot Peterson asked if access from the dnveway <br />to the north was a possibility The applicant said it was not as it would require turmng the <br />driveway into a road. This would also require depletion of a forest area. Another option <br />would be to come in off of Old Crystal Bay Road.
