MEMORANDUM <br />T«! MHu GalDvB <br />Fk«n: Stove Bohl <br />Dele: October 12,2005 <br />Re: MecKfaiMa HW PrepemI, PieUHfauuyPhtAppIkaMoe (Revised) <br />RevtoieM: Nevenber 18,2005 <br />CeaservalieB aad Rarel Oasis: <br />We submitted and reviewed wWi the Chy Council the pr(qx>sed clustering and received <br />tovoiabler <br />We ttien met widi Adam at Dahlgren Shardlow and Uban and subsequent meetings with <br />Doug Mensing at Applied Eccdogical Services. <br />Adam thought that the clustering of the sites was a good alternative to the original plan <br />and thought that the revisions were already a responsible approach to the development. <br />Doug has inspected the property and described some of the conditions, reviewed some of <br />the thoughts we had in die meeting widi Adam, and was able to offer smne <br />recommendations. I have attached a copy of field notes that Doug took during his walk <br />through the site. <br />Tiie idea of using a more ‘*lineai^ storm water pond within the existing wedand appears <br />to be a good solutioiL Mitigafion could occur on the upland areas adjacent to the wedand <br />and an overall improved wetland iqilaoement could be utUized. Cunendy, the portion of <br />the wedand proposed for storm water and mitigation have mostly non-native wetland <br />species and could be inqmved with appropriate plantings and inanagemenL <br />This proposal allows us to keep a grove of lemnant *1iig wood s” where we had <br />pievi^ly shown the storm water pond. Additionally, we would not have to intrude into <br />die forested area excqit for the road and allow us to better maintain the **rural oasis” view <br />buflbr. <br />Doug recommends that the removal of the buckthorn and otho’ non-native vegetation be <br />removed fiom the woods where the rood goes through. There is also the opportunity to <br />rsvegetale the slope in the outlet Mid introduce native species back into the upifliwt «nH <br />wetland. <br />Se ptic SHas: <br />The revised plans show the tested locations for the septic sites. The septic plans have <br />been submitted for your review. I understand that you may not have had time to review <br />1
