1. Your request for the disturbance of Steep Slopes -Preserved has been reviewed and can generally be supported.
The proposed areas of disturbance generally appear to be in areas that are fragmented, have been previously
disturbed or can reasonably be considered for disturbance by prior actions. However, one area does not appear to
meet these criteria. The area is highlighted below. At this time staff cannot support disturbance of this area.

2. The prior proffers for ZMA 2005-03 include proffer 6.1. This proffer included recreational improvements and
dedication of land. Staff cannot support the elimination of this proffer with the current rezoning application. The
need for these recreational areas is only increased with the additional of residential development within the
project.
The language from proffer 6.1 is included below for your reference.
