Dear Planning Commissioners:
I am writing to show my support for the restoration plan at Prescott Preserve, an
Oswit Land Trust property. On the agenda for today’s meeting is the approval of the
modification of the landscape plan for Prescott Preserve submitted by Oswit Land
Trust. In addition to asking you to approve the modified plan, please consider OLT’s
requested changes to the Staff Recommendations for the project by removing or
modifying the following conditions from the recommendations:
ADM 5.
ADM 9.
ENV 1.
ENV 2.
PLN 1.
ENG 2.
ENG 13.
ENG 14.
ENG 22.
FID 10
These onerous conditions add a burden of hoops and hurdles that are not
warranted for this type of landscape restoration project. Much of the verbiage is
probably boilerplate, understandably, but even so, these conditions place
unnecessary hardship on OLT’s ability to take the steps to deploy the phased
restoration plan, which will ultimately result in a beautiful nature preserve for our
community, a model for cities across the nation, benefiting humans of all ages,
wildlife, and dogs (leashed!), as well as the horses and their riders who enjoy the
Bud Furer trail.
Thank you for your service to our community, serving as Commissioners, and for
considering my request.
Kind regards,
Tamara Hedges
Palm Springs resident
