104 Turquoise Creek Zone 1 Buffer Repair v2.pptx
As per your request, see attached for revised plan showing replacement of trees in the location removed in Zone 1.
Regarding the amount of impervious surface impact, there has not been any actual change in the amount. The version
sent out last Wednesday merely contained a calculation error. This plan is substantively the same as what was
previously reviewed except for the location of the trees being planted.
Thanks,
Randy H. Herman

Can we set up a conference call tomorrow to discuss? I want to get you guys on the phone with the applicant and his
architect. I am confident that we can show you a plan that will satisfy the regulations. What we don't want is to have to
go back and start over with the major variance process at this point.
Thanks,

Good afternoon Danny,
I just received your voicemail regarding the need for a repair plan for the zone 1 violation. I believe the attached, which
was previously submitted May 3, should include the information you need, specifically location and species of
replacement treet. Please let me know if you need additional information on this.
Thanks,

Good afternoon Danny,
Regarding the rain garden, my client is not necessarily against the idea but it is not clear that his pool design will actually
create any new stormwater that needs to be treated.
Currently on the property, there are two drainage ditches, one on each side of the house. The west side will remain as is
and is shared with the neighboring property. The east side is literally a ditch dug out into the lawn by original owner.
That will be upgraded as shown on the plan previously submitted, which describe a new drainage box at the front of the
current ditch (by the driveway). This drainage box will have a proper conduit installed and lead to the currently existing
rip rap for entry into the rear storm drain; we will be adding more rip rap to ensure proper displacement of the rain

water. On the house, there are existing drains attached to every gutter that have conduits leading to the creek or the
drainage ditches, they will remain.
For the pool itself, the pool company will install a well point which will be buried in the ground. A line from the pool
pump will disperse any overflow water to the well, which will then dissipate over time underground. That will be located
on the far side of the pool on the property line.
Ironically, given the existing drainage facilities, if a rain garden were installed it might not get enough flow to sustain the
kind of water -loving plants that you would expect to be planted.
Thanks,
Randy H. Herman

border and prevent undesired changes.
3. Plan and Schedule
• The schedule will be based on the permitting, resource availability to begin the
project, expect to start in August and complete in October of 2018.
• The restoration of the area will include clearing of the weeds and overgrown
grasses to prepare for planting.
• Planting of the trees will follow the tree planting details on the drawing to the
left. The enclosed map includes Zone 1 buffer line as indicated in red and clearly
marks the species and the planting location as per the request.
• the area will be maintained and monitored to ensure the trees thrive in the new
