Environmental Issues: Wetlands, Water Table <br />Wetlands exist in the area between Hodgson and Ware Roads, and the water table in the <br />overall study area is shallow. The shallow water table constrains some development options <br />that would require below -grade construction. Wetlands create some challenges for routing <br />roads and utilities. <br />However, the wetlands also can be viewed as the basis of an open space amenity area that <br />can be incorporated into site designs. Proper buffering of the wetlands can protect water <br />quality and enhance the quality of these open spaces. This approach fits with the City's <br />conservation development philosophy, whereby new development would create significant <br />public values beyond those achievable under conventional development. <br />Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 14 <br />
