During the review of the Morgan Creek cluster subdivision, officials explained that the project utilizes rural cluster standards to preserve open space by grouping homes together and leaving a 17-acre tract intact. Because the site is heavily wooded, a county forester confirmed that a separate standalone forestry permit will be required to regulate necessary logging activities on the property. Furthermore, any specific forested areas currently enrolled in a current-use tax deferral program must be officially withdrawn prior to final land use approval.

What was said
34:35 for traffic study right which I think is 10 pm peak trips. Correct. Okay. So concurrency was easy. And I guess I have some questions. Let me turn first. I want to call for land use I have a couple questions, Mr Decker, on forestry hunter there. Yeah. Okay, great. And this is probably a question I should have asked years ago. I have your recommendation your staff report it's exhibits 60s, 76, and you have proposed findings that address the forestry requirements and a set of conditions.
35:29 The question I have is the, the proposal. The staff report anticipates that those findings will be in my final decision those conditions will be in my final decision. Will there be a separate standalone forestry permit that also has those conditions. Yeah. If, and if the conditions were to change. They would be so I haven't approved anything I wait until after your approval and your conditions so if something is to change then it's based off of your conditions of approved. You'll issue a hard copy type forestry permit that gets handed to the forest operator, and it'll have the findings and the conditions that matter. Okay, I just want to make sure because, you know, a lot of times these land use decisions are kind of kind of bulky,
36:27 and this is a critical roadmap for the forest operator to wade through and have basically a 50 page land use decision after find the you know the 12 conditions that matter buried in the middle of it so that'll be an easier thing to understand. Okay. Were there seem like a fairly standard forest permit, forest practices permit, anything of note that you want to mention in particular? Um, you know, there is possibly one thing, and it's something that I might have missed as a condition of approval would be any areas that are currently in a current use tax deferral program would need to be withdrawn prior to the land use approval.
37:27 As part of the condition, and there is a couple, it would be like where lot two and three are and lot six have these overlays on them, and I can send this over to Marion.
