I've responded in blue as necessary to some of the <br /> points you mention below. Let me know if you have further questions. <br /> - Philip <br /> Original Message <br /> From: Teresa Bishow [mailto:teresa @arlie.com] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 11:25 AM <br /> To: RICHARDSON Philip S <br /> Cc: MEDLIN Johnny R; BJORKLUND Neil H; Terry Smith <br /> Subject: RE: Eastern Ridgeline Extension Master Plan review <br /> Philip, <br /> Thanks for the opportunity to provide comments on the draft master plan for the Suzanne Arlie <br /> Ridgeline Trail Corridor. <br /> Overall, the master plan appears to balance goals to preserve significant habitat areas and <br /> to provide an interesting and diverse set of shared trails. <br /> Below are a few specific comments. <br /> Section 2 Context Map - You might want to include a map showing the vision for the ridgeline <br /> trail extending to LCC and Mount Pisgah. Since a specific route is not identified, you could <br /> use arrows or symbols. We decided the most straightforward way to show the vision, was to actually include it <br /> as an Appendix. <br /> Section 3 Habitat Assessment - Can you send me a copy or the link on the website to Appendix <br /> B? Attached. <br /> Section 4- Public Involvement - Great summary of public involvement. I think you helped <br /> guide an open and meaningful public involvement process. We still receive a number of <br /> inquiries and requests from various parties to visit the new park. We try to accommodate as <br /> our schedules allow but look forward to the corridor being improved for everyone. Ifyou do <br /> receive inquiries that you cannot accommodate, feel free to send them our way. Like you, we won't be able to <br /> accommodate every request, but it would give us a sense of the broader community interest and might help justify <br /> occasional scheduled visits. <br /> Section 6 Map Components - Regarding maintenance access, do you want to mention that the city <br /> obtained access easement rights from Arlie & Company for maintenance? This was an important <br /> part of the sale agreement and might warrant a simple referurice. Good idea, and 1 v waded a <br /> sentence as such. <br /> Can you clarify with me what improvements the City needs in the places on the map shown as <br /> "Improved maintenance access" points? All of the blue 'M's relate specifically to our ability to safely access <br /> the site for maintenance purposes and have been identified by our maintenance staff. I've actually received <br /> feedback from them a day ago that there were about 3 -4 addl spots. I'II send an updated map of those to you <br /> shortly. <br /> Several of the locations will require a separate access agreements from adjacent private property owners and /or the <br /> homeowners association on the west end of the site. Looks to me like several others might need to be negotiated <br /> 2 <br />
