9:29:16 AM Dennis Foreman, Gaston Engineering & Surveying Comments on behalf of applicant, Doug Espelien.
9:30:49 AM Commissioner Skinner I did make a site visit to this site and I do have a little bit of experience in seeding riparian areas in my opinion this is a very good job of hydro-seeding that have been done up there, good job of geo-tech stabilization and there are immerging grasses coming if you look very closely. I think these grasses will be very similar to the other riparian vegetation in the area, so I am very confident that this will be stabilized and be consistent with the other riparian vegetation in the area so based on that and the applicant's testimony, I would move to approve final plat.
