The Miller’s propose to eliminate a significant portion of the lawn on the property in favor of terraced landscaping that includes dry laid stone walls and vegetated retention areas that will treat stormwater fr om the property. No new structures and no modifications to existing structures are proposed, but a new flagstone patio is proposed on the lake side of the house. The patio will be constructed to shed stormwater to one of the new vegetated retention areas , and additional retention areas are proposed and situated to manage stormwater from existing impervious surfaces and lawn areas. We see this project as a ‘win -win -win’ for the applicant, the neighbors, and the lake. Long term protection of the lake is a fforded by the basic tenet of this project, whereas short term protection will be provided by the use of sediment control devices such as silt fences, etc. If yo u h a v e a n y qu e sti o n s r e g ar d i n g t h e a bo v e , p l e a s e d o no t h e si t ate to us a t (5 18 ) 792 -2907 or vi a email at tjarrett@jarrettengineers.com .
