They are attached <br />as Exhibits 4, 5, 6, and 7). <br /> <br />Title Policy and ALTA Survey: We hired a title company to prepare a title insurance policy <br />for the parcel. The title policy identifies all encumbrances. We also hired a licensed surveyor to <br />visit the site and perform a survey based on the title report and the encumbrances identified therein. <br />The survey confirms the parcel legal description, identifies boundaries, topography, the location <br />of a ponding and flowage easement, and the boundaries of adjoining properties. The title <br />commitment and ALTA survey are attached as Exhibits 8 & 9. <br /> <br />Stormwater Management Plan (SWPPP and Stormwater Report): Enterprise Energy and <br />its engineering consultants worked closely with the City and its engineering consultants to prepare <br />a Stormwater Management Plan that meets the City ordinance and the City consultant’s standards. <br />The attached Stormwater Pollution Protection Plan (“SWPPP”) and Stormwater Report are <br />detailed engineering studies that determine compliance with State and local stormwater <br />requirements. They contain stormwater calculations, HydroCAD modeling, FEMA mapping, soil <br />mapping, rainfall analysis, erosion control measures, soil stabilization measures, and other <br />scientific calculations. They are attached as Exhibits 10 and 11 . <br /> <br />These 188 and 130 page documents were performed by a licensed engineering firm with <br />expertise in the matter, and were reviewed and approved by City engineering consultants after the <br />addition of certain recommendations, such as updating hydrology assumptions, acknowledging the <br />location of a culvert, changing the type and location of the filtration basin to move it closer to the <br />access road, and confirmation that Rice Creek Watershed District, WACA, DNR, and other <br />environmental rules are met. They a create tailored plan that is specific to this project and do it in <br />the context of the surrounding parcels and hydrology. Because they are specific to the proposed <br />project, they required a nearly complete civil engineering design that is typically done as part of <br />the building permit application, after ministerial permits are complete. <br /> <br />Grading and Erosion Control Plan: Grading and erosion control measures during and after <br />construction are detailed in the SWPPP, which has been accepted by the City’s engineers. The <br />grading and Erosion Control plan was added at the direction of the City’s consultants. A rendering <br />of the finalized plan is attached as Exhibit 12. Grading is minimal and erosion is well controlled. <br /> <br />Vegetation Management Plan: We contracted with an expert third-party consultant called <br />Natural Resource Services to prepare a functioning Vegetation Installation and Management Plan <br />specific for this site that takes into consideration the Soil Types, Wetland Delineation, Plant Survey, <br />Grading Plan, and other diligence items. The plan describes the procedures for establishing the <br />vegetation on the site, such as site preparation and seeding, as well as monitoring and maintenance <br />over a 35 year period. It will create wildlife habitat for birds, small mammals, and insects, as well <br />as carnivorous animals that eat them. The vegetative cover will have deep roots that will improve <br />the permeability of the soil, promote soil health, slow down the velocity of water runoff, and <br />prevent topsoil erosion, thereby naturally improving the quality of any surrounding waterbodies <br />or wetlands.
