REVISION 1.2 This revised application incorporates the project evolution and additional information requested since the March 2018 submittal of the initial application. The initial application presented four (4) project alternatives and proposed on -site wetland mitigation. The Addendum, submitted March 30, 2018, addressed preliminary Army Corps of Engineers comment. The March 30th addendum included off -site alternative analysis of four (4) alternate locations. An additional fifth (5th) project alternative, dated 3/29/18, was presented which reduced wetland impact from 1.07 to 0.91 acres. The additional avoidance and minimization was accomplished by eliminating one lot (Lot 10 of Block 1 was eliminated) and the use of a retaining wall, rather than a side slope, below the cul-de-sac above wetland P in the southeast part of the development. Additional impact reduction was not feasible from engineering and safety standpoints. As explained in the addendum, wetland BB could not be avoided since the existing elevation of BB is higher than adjacent Street 1 and stormwater Pond 8. Therefore, the hydrology to BB, which is surface water dependent, would be cut-off by the development of the surrounding land. The elevation of Pond 8 is dictated by run-on drainage from the south and the elevation of Street 1 is dictated by the elevation of Wetland B. Impact reduction to wetland L, in the back yard of Lot 12 along the east side of Street 3, could be achieved by installing a retaining wall at that location. This option is not feasible from a safety perspective since a retaining wall in a back yard would present a hazard to small children playing there, or to residents otherwise using this outdoor living space. At the conclusion of the April 23 d TEP meeting it was determined that a revised Wetland Replacement Plan application, rather than another addendum, should be submitted. The email (April 241h ) listing the additional information needed, as summarized in the April 23 d meeting is attached. In order to relieve the reviewer from the tedium of reviewing documentation previously submitted, additional verbiage in this revised application will betyped in Courier New font.
