Yes, I know but some things changed since you signed it that I wanted you to be aware of and make
sure you were still ok with. I will consider this your final approval.

Importance: High
The proposed berm/fence meets UDC standards in regard to height and staggering of the fence; I
clarified this in the approval letter. I also inquired if trees are allowed in SID’s easement; they told
me that SID’s easement was actually along the southern boundary and not in the buffer – I had them
revise their letter to exclude this info and I removed it from the approval letter.
The deciduous trees proposed are 2” caliper and the evergreens are 6-8’ tall per UDC standards –
although not touching now, I feel they’d be pretty overcrowded if we required more. As proposed,
the landscaping exceeds UDC standards (code only requires 1 tree per 35’ in the buffer – they’re
proposing trees that touch at maturity which results in over twice the number of trees typically
required.
I attached a copy of the revised letter for your review.
Again, if we don’t want to allow wood, we should specifically exclude it in the code.

Sonya – I know we’ve talked about this and believe the process you’ve sent them through
(ALT) is the right one. I’ve looked at the landscape plan, but haven’t studied it like I assume
you have. I have some concerns with approving any alternative compliance here, but if you are
comfortable with their request…I have signed the letter. Please note that I’ve added some
questions and comments. You don’t necessarily need to respond to me, but if you could
address them (or at least think about them) in your approval I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Caleb
