Your File No.: M-77-210 Dear Ms. Farrell: Enclosed are a couple of copies of the maps which were provided the City of Colorado Springs to comply with their Hillside Overlay Zoning requirements. The maps are basically like the ones provided in the permit application except that the individual trees, masses of tree;., and masses of shrub areas are indicated as well as the waterline route. This route was selected in conjunction with a tour of the site with Jim Mayerl of the Colorado Springs Planning Department. The route was flagged, extensively photographed, and precisely defined so as to eliminate the possibility of removing large numbers of trees. In fsict, it appears that only about a dozen trees will need to be removed within the 12 to 16 foot wide path. In some areas, the path will be limited to only about 5 or 6 feet to avoid the removal any certain large trees. Only about 3 large trees will need to be cut down to install the pipeline, and all of those are in poor condition. We feel this route is an excellent one and will result in the least amount of disturbance to the vegetation and provide excellent screening from all locations except the view from the top of Pikes Peak, 7000 feet above and many miles to the southwest. Of course from that distance, a 12 to 16 foot wide path in the trees will not be visible except in a powerful telescope. Respectfully, ~~~~ Q~~~ Mark A. Heffner cc: Gordon Morgan G.
