• Urban wetlands are marntained and protected to the degree feasible <br /> • Natural woodlands and open space are retained by to the degree feasible <br /> 2) Is the site adjacent to a documented corridor in Rural Oasis Stud,y7 <br /> The site is the eastern portion of Development Site #2—(Old)Highway I2 at Old Crystal <br /> Bay Road. The wetland ort the site is indicated as a low quality wetland and the site was <br /> determined to have a negative view from Old Crystal Bay Road. The analysis <br /> recommended the establishment visual bu�fers along Old Crystal Bay Road(done), <br /> preservation of wooded buf,�'er along the southern boundary (done)and augment ihe <br /> wetland(do�ae via estabdishment of wetland buf�'ers) (see Appendix A). <br /> 3) N/A <br /> 4) �latural Resources Inventorv. <br /> a)Review the MLCCS data. <br /> Per the MLCCS data(Figure 2 and Appendix B), Land(:over Classiftcation Leved 1 and <br /> Level 3 assessments showed altered/non-native deciduous forest,fallow land,fruit trees <br /> (apple, cherry,plum, etc}on upland soils, seasonally flooded alteredlnon-native <br /> dominated emergen[vegetation, and short grasses and mrxed trees N�ith i 1-25% <br /> impervious cover within site boundaries. Observations on the site show this data to be <br /> generally accurate, however,fruit trees are located on the adjacent parcel to the west but <br /> not on the project site. <br /> b) Completion of a Tree Survey. <br /> A tree survey was completed for the site. Significant tree lacations (with tag numbers) <br /> and a�sociated tree uttributes are presented in Appendac C. <br /> �� w�i�a ���to�y. <br /> A delineation was completed on the site in August, 2013 by Jacobson Errvironmental and <br /> a report was prepared and submitted(dated September S, 2013—see Appendix D). <br /> �nor adjustments were made to the boundaries prior to approval of the wetlands shown <br /> on (Figure 3). According to the City of Orono Comprehensive Plan Erzvironrrtental <br /> Protection Plan Figure 3A-2, the wetlands on the site are classified as Manage 2 (Figure <br /> 4). <br /> d) Topographic survey and existin d� raina�patterns. <br /> A topographic survey was completed by Alliant Engineers. The survey, along with <br /> existing drainage patterns is provided in�4ppendix E. <br /> 3 <br />
