  • Hawthorne Park.Pdf
    From: Sarah F. Alger To: Andrew Vorce Cc: Vicki S. Marsh ([email protected]); Megan Trudel; Holly Visco; Terry Sanford ([email protected]); Judith Wegner Subject: Hawthorne Park Date: Friday, March 6, 2020 12:22:29 AM Dear Andrew, I was surprised to learn that the Hawthorne Park matter was discussed by the Board at its meeting today. Based upon my conversation with staff and a review of the agenda, I understood that this matter was continued until Monday night. My experience has been that when an item on the agenda is specifically marked as being continued to a date certain, as was the case here, that is notice to the public and applicants alike that the matter is off the agenda for that meeting and will not be discussed. Had we known that the matter would be discussed at today’s meeting, both my client and I certainly would have attended. That said, I understand that the Board has raised the following questions that it hopes can be addressed at or before the meeting Monday evening. We are happy to answer any questions that the Board or any interested party might have. The questions posed by the Board are below in blue, and my responses are in red. 1. What are the consequences if the Board declines to approve signing this document? I do not believe that there would be any consequences if the Board declined to approve the proposed document. The language of the special permit is clear that the permit is not affected by the failure of the applicant to find a holder for the Conservation Restriction (“CR”) as long as the Board finds that the applicant has made a good faith effort.

Depart, o. -Panier* MMMamtr'#to &WW&mL Sruoiss (miT.t.e) The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This project introduces a way of operationalizing the idea of sustainability by applying its principles to open space in the urban landscape. Landscape is defined as the land surface, composed of a mosaic of ecosystems and land uses, that provides the setting for human activities. The rationale for the project is that people are deeply influenced by and keenly interested in landscape features, so landscape can serve as a medium for learning about sustainability because our ways of using land form part of the broader picture of our relationship with the earth.

Salmon habitat was restored along Johnson Creek. An eco-friendly light rail station is taking shape in Oak Grove, and a degraded alley was reinvented as a green parkway in Cornelius. Trees are springing up in the unlikeliest of places, such as Interstate 205. These projects have one important thing in common: support from Metro’s Nature in Neighbohoods capital grants.
