Proposed Subdivision for New Lots^ Preliminary Plat 177 Glendale Drive/190 Willow Drive North Applicant has submitted recommendations from Applied Ecological Services dated November 18,2005 with regards to Conservation Design. These comments are and a cover letter by the applicant are attached. The topics addressed by AES include; - Forest Preservation - Forest Enhancement and Expansion - Wetland Preservation - Wetland Enhancement and Expansion • Vegetated Buffer Establishment - Stormwater Management • Ecological Restoration and Management Since this information arrived too late to be included in the packet, and because staff has only had a chance to briefly review the material, applicant should be requested to present the AES recommendations at the meeting. Applicant has submitted a revised Wetland Delineation Report indicating that portions of the road ditch along Willow Drive are **incidentar ’ wetland, i.e. areas of wetland created solely as a result of actions by public or private entities that were taken for a purpose other than creating the wetland. Applicants are requesting that MCWD declare this portion of wetland as incidental and not subject to a replacement plan. The impact is that the north end of this wetland that would be filled for road, plus additional portions that could be filled to create dry buildable area for Lot 10, would not be subject to replacement and would not be required to have a buffer established or maintained. The revised preliminary plat drawings in your packet reflect a buildable envelope for Lot 10 that incorporates this area as dry buildable with no buffer. Excerpts fix)m the new delineation report are attached. rilM
