I believe both proposals should be denied. <br /> It is my understanding that applicants are seeking: <br /> (1) to reduce the wetlands on the property, from five lakes to two, and from 38 acres to 4 <br /> acres. <br /> (2) to change culvert installations and to avoid regrading a portion of the muted area. <br /> I understand that this request was filed as a "technical revision" on November 25, 1996 but is now <br /> proceeding as a amendment to their permit and is subject to technical review by your agency. <br /> Any changes in the topography of this land, large portions of which are in the floodplain, sl_ould be <br /> carefully monitored. None should be approved which would jeopardize downstream proper ly, <br /> including homes in Frasier Meadows and possibly also homes in Martin Acres and Majestic Heights. <br /> In addition, the drastic reduction in water on this property sought by the applicant(s) is totally <br /> inconsistent with the anticipated reclaimed use of the property. Please do not allow applica•tt(s)to <br /> negatively impact the wildlife on the property by reducing its wetlands by 90%as they are proposing. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Debra Biasca <br /> geol_ Iedgateway/dah2 <br /> I <br />
