HomeMy WebLinkAbout021Thanks! That makes perfect sense. From: Donna Frostholm Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 9:08 AM To: David W. Johnson Cc: Stacie Hoskins; Michelle McConnell Subject: RE: County Comments on BMPR Development Regulations David: This has to do with the potential for slope failure. Steep slopes (including feeder bluffs, which are common in Jefferson County) naturally erode over time; it is part of the natural processes occurring within the shoreline environment. Also, there is the potential for liquefaction and shifting of the substrate if an earthquake occurs. If development takes place too close to a steep slope, human health and safety may be compromised and natural habitats and processes may be altered . The simple answer is that the JCC limits buffer averaging along slopes of 30% or greater to protect people and the environment. Donna From: David W.

I'm still unable to understand it in the context of Pleasant Harbor. Thank you. cp ----- Original Message ----- From: "David W.
