He explains that this is an existing condition as the homeowners were under the impression they had an N01 filed by the builder which included vista pruning in perpetuity. After contacting Agent McManus, they were informed that they do not have a current I issued for vista pruning so that is the purpose of this application for a permit. The Yanoffs would like to have a vista corridor off of the right hand corner of their house which is the deck area and which they could maintain in perpetuity. The area is 2 of 104' of frontage which gives them a'26' wide vista condor. There is an existing corridor on the left brand side that will eventually re-establish itself and also an abutting neighbor is believed to have dome some pruning in that same area. Agent McManus states that there had been extensive vista pruning already and had consisted mostly of topped vegetation (Saplings and shrubs mostly); The corridor is very thickly vegetated so there was no real adverse impact from previous pruning activity aside from alteration of wildlife habitat. Because of the thick vegetation, there is no room for mitigation or re-plantings within the corridor. 4 For the new corridor, they will Keep everything at a ' height and Agent McManus has recommended the removal of Russian Olives as they are an invasive species and will be replaced with native shrubs. . i !motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to close and Insure. 7:09 Ron &Cheryl loan of—SE 43,.2597 (176Daniels Island Road) Demolish I RebuiId cont'd to 112111 @ 7:1 pry It was read for the record that the applicant requested a two-week continuance until 1/21110 at 7:12 P.M. i Mr. Cross wound like to note that this is the Tdcontinuation for this application.
