Kamnikar <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: Additional comment regarding L.G. Everist's 112 Permit <br />Application for Maryland Creek Ranch, Permit No. M-96-049 <br />Dear Ms. Kamnikar: <br />As discussed during our informal conference held on Wednesday, <br />October 2, 1996, the County may add additional issues of concern <br />regarding L.G. Everist's 112 Permit Application for Maryland Creek <br />Ranch within five days of the conference. Please find the <br />following additional issue of concern: <br />In our letter to your office dated September 12, 1996 the County <br />pointed out that the applicant had neglected to specify the sizes <br />of the proposed plant material to be located in the landscape <br />clusters surrounding each of the lakes. Although the application <br />includes a graphic representation of these plants (see Exhibit F) <br />and refers to nursery grown or collected "trees and shrubs" their <br />exact sizes are not specified. The County had suggested that the <br />applicant be advised of the County's minimum standards for <br />landscape plantings, which are: 1-1/2" caliper for deciduous trees, <br />8' height for 40°s of the coniferous trees and 6' height for the <br />remaining c:oniferoils trees, 5 gallon containers for 50°s of *_he <br />shrubs and 1 gallon containers for the remaining 50% of the shrubs. <br />In your Technical Adequacy letter to the applicant dated October 1, <br />1996 you request that the applicant include more specific estimates <br />on shrub and tree cuttings to be planted. Clearly, the plants <br />shown on details A and B of Exhibit F are not cuttings, nor is the <br />word "cuttings" used anywhere in the application. There is also no <br />reference by the applicant that exhibits A and B reflect landscape <br />conditions 10 or 20 years from now. Additionally, the applicant <br />has made numerous representations to the staff, Planning Commission <br />and the public that landscaping around the lakes would be planted <br />in a size resembling details A and B concurrent with the mining <br />operation. <br />G: \JIMC\LETTERS\DMG <br />SUMMIT COUNTY GOVERNMENT • POST OFFICE BOX 68 • BRECKENRIDGE, COLORADO 80424 <br />(970) 453-2561 • (970) 453-5461 FAX <br />
