Hi John
Based on our on-site conversation yesterday, the applicant for Lot 25 at Helms Port has revised the site plan to bring the
proposed pool closer to the house and eliminate some fill behind the pool (see attached). Impacts have been reduced
from 0.14 acre to 0.10 acre. Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
Kim

Morning Kim,
The proposed impacts for both of these projects is a little much. The lawn behind the pool deck on Lot 25 seems
excessive. They can have the pool or a back yard, but they need to take a pick. I do appreciate the use of the retaining
wall to minimize impacts to some degree.
On lot 26, the corner of the garage clips the wetland, so why is most of the finger being filled? I think this impact can be
avoided all together by moving the garage up and using a retaining wall.
Also, I don't have the mitigation credit reservation letters on either of these. But I guess that will change with the
revisions I'm requesting.
I sent both applications to the FWS for coordination on the Northern long-eared bat. Please revise both plans to avoid
and minimize wetland impacts ASAP so I can wrap these up before I leave.
Thanks
John
