I was on Ron to get it all straightened out. Your letter has cleared that up for me and I am fine with the delay in sending the remaining escrow, now that I know understand the reasoning behind that. As for the re-establishment of appropriate ground coverage-I have for three seasons planted a mix of indigenous wildflowers and grasses- due to only weeds having grown under the shade of the east side of the property in the previous years. Last year due to the construction and a wedding we had in Sept-I augmented with some annual grasses for quick growth. Those are being reseeded where necessary with perennials as soon as the frost has passed this spring. As a result I understand the process of determining the area to be of sufficient vegetation may take longer into June-than the"snow melt deadline/goal"suggested by Ron Hall. The"drive approach"apparently was taken off the survey due to a misunderstanding between me and the survey company—as I had maintained that there was to be"no driveway"—but in reality there will be something between a rock path and field that could be driven upon for the rare time's access the large garage style doors is needed. A formal driveway had been represented as a potential throughout the hardcover calculations and permitting surveys—but dropped in their most recent survey. I now understand that that needs to be reflected on the plans, but I agree with you-I will wait until you've had a chance to determine if there are any other aspects you want shown on the as built before I proceed with that. Thank-you for your patience, -Kent Kent Hodder Kent Hodder (818) 842-4265 la (612) 333-1025 msp (612) 306-6806 c Special Assistant Bev Stark � � * ENTERTAINMENT�� 1
