I Purposes 1, 2 and 5 listed in the Rddgeline Park section of the SHS, which we <br />2 repeat here: <br />3 "1. To insure preservation of those areas most visibly a part of <br />4 the entire community; <br />5 "2. To protect areas of high biological value in order to provide <br />6 for the continued health of native wildlife and vegetation; <br />7 [and] <br />8 <br />9 "5. To provide connective passageways for wildlife between <br />10 important biological preserves." <br />11 The Neighbors challenge those findings, arguing that findings of <br />12 consistency with one or more of the seven listed purposes must be based on the <br />13 portions of the PUD above 901 feet in elevation. With respect to Purpose 1, the <br />14 Neighbors argue that the proposed PUD will remove almost all trees on the top <br />15 of the ridgeline and replace them with a dense cluster of housing, which is not <br />16 consistent with "preservation of those areas most visibly a part of the entire <br />17 community." That a number of trees will be preserved on lower slopes to the <br />18 east, the Neighbors argue, does nothing to hide the denuded ridgeline and new <br />of trees, therefore providing for the continued health of the native <br />wildlife and vegetation, consistent with Policy 2. <br />"In furtherance of Policy 5, the combined preservation areas of <br />Tract A and the preserved areas of the eastern lots also act as an <br />uninterrupted natural wildlife corridor, enhancing the existing <br />wildlife corridor that the Ribbon Trail provides from the south of <br />the site to Hendricks Park to the north." Record 68-69. <br />Page 30 <br />
