re: CMSCWD C17-003 Big Marine Store CUP Amendment
Dear Ms. Buss:
We have reviewed the above application which plans for the addition of a restaurant with
additional parking to the rear of the current building. The Watershed District opposes
this amendment since the new uses at the site will require a great deal of additional
parking. The runoff from the added hardcover will have a negative impact downslope to
the CMSCWD Category 1 wetlands to the east within the watershed of Big Marine Lake
which is a priority resource for the Watershed District.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this Amendment request and if you have
any questions, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jim Shaver
Administrator
