Background: These applications were considered by the Planning Commission on July 12, 2007, and unanimously recommended for approval. Staff presented revised site plans for the Marina Parking Lot and Bumpy Meadows Trailhead Parking Lot. The revisions incorporated recommendations made by a design review committee assembled by EID and included the use of natural-appearing materials for both lots and extending the retaining wall for the Marina Parking Lot. Extension of the retaining wall will save a significant number of trees. Heidi DeHart, Jenkinson Lake Homeowners Association, was the only member of the public giving input. The Association was concerned about the number of trees being removed, which was reduced with the revised site plan; and Ms. DeHart voiced concern regarding increasing the size of the Sugarloaf Camp. One of the representatives from EID replied that the Camp is not being enlarged. There was no other input. No new significant issues were discussed other than those in the staff report.
