STONEWOOD, LLC CONSERVATION DESIGN ANALYSIS <br /> Summary <br /> ELEMENT ��& ' � `��` ��� ?��`'�� ;� ^' <br /> m*� <br /> Rural Oasis Study None Not adjacent to City documented corridor. Construction of the cul-de-sac <br /> will overlay the existing road and no new connection to Orono Orchard <br /> Road and associated vegetation clearing is required. <br /> Landcover Minor Will likely convert mapped"Forest'and"Planted or Cultivated Vegetation" <br /> categories to "Artificial Surface and Associated Areas". Existing forest is <br /> dominated by black walnut,spruce,elm,ash,white pine,cedar,tamarack, <br /> maple, basswood, and oak trees,with no cultivation present. <br /> Trees Minor Tree clearing is required and will be limited to areas necessary for <br /> development. <br /> Rare Plants None Site has history of significant disturbance and consequently does not <br /> contain rare plants,nor suitable habitat to support rare plants.Additionally, <br /> recent wetland field survey did not report observations of rare plants. <br /> Wetland None No impacts to wetland resources are planned. The appropriate wetland <br /> buffer width will be incorporated into any future development plans. <br /> Buffers None Establishes 40 to 75-foot average width buffer around each of the three <br /> project site wetlands and provides formal protection via recorded <br /> declaration providing significant ecological community and water quality <br /> benefits. <br /> Existing Drainage Positive Maintains existing drainage to receiving water (Lake N1innotonko) <br /> resulting in protection and enhancement of drainageways. <br /> Stormwater Positive Provides two filtration basins along the north and south sides of the <br /> Management proposed cul-de-sac resulting in protection and enhancement of water <br /> quality. <br /> Greenways/Open Minor Preserves approximately 2.25 acres of wetland and corresponding <br /> Space vegetated wetland buffer resources,to include limiting the number of trees <br /> cleared and maximizing greenways/open space within the project site, <br /> thereby resulting in protection of the ecological community and its integrity <br /> Views Minor A vegetated stormwater infiltration basin located north of the proposed <br /> cul-de-sac may be seen from Orono Orchard Road; however, views from <br /> the road are not significantly impacted. <br /> Landmarks None Project will not impact local area landmarks. <br /> City of Orono Conservation Ordinance Requirements Analysis: <br /> 1( 1.
