Topics discussed during the site meeting included additional restoration at the unintended temporary impacts completed by the geotechnical company, the smaller sub -parcel that the applicant has purchased, minimization of impacts, delineation of streams and wetlands, potential site plan revisions, detail schematic for the arched span, and detail schematic for the under drain system. The additional information package addresses all of the topics that were discussed during the agency site meeting. The Dellinger family has owned this property since the 1930's. It was noted during the site meeting that the stream has been ditched, straightened, and manipulated in the past to create more useable land. Appendix A — Additional Restoration at Wetland Impact 3, Channel Impact 1, and Channel Impact 2 The unintended temporary stream and wetland impacts that were completed by the geotechnical company had been restored in late June 2016. During the site meeting last week Jason wanted additional restoration measures completed at Wetland Impact 3, Channel Impact 1, and Channel Impact 2 (per the map that was previously submitted in the "Pre -Permit Impact Restoration of Streams and Wetlands" package). I discussed this additional requested restoration work with Jay Priester of Cambridge Properties, Inc. that afternoon and he immediately moved forward with securing a grading contractor to be on site the following day. I met folks with Neill Grading on site the morning of Thursday October 6, 2016 to complete the additional restoration activities that were requested by Jason the day before. High ground soil was removed from Wetland Impact 3. The disturbed area was seeded and straw was applied. The excavated high ground soil was leveled onto an access soil path, seeded, and straw was applied. A soil berm was constructed at the down slope side of the disposal area and a row of ATLAS Environmental, Inc. 712 English Tudor Lane Charlotte, North Carolina 28211 704-512-1206 (m) / 828-712-9205 (o) www.atlasenvi.com / Serving the Southeast US NiAml IT t silt fence was installed to further protect the wetland. Photographs of the work completed at the wetland and two stream crossings are included as Appendix A. At Channel Impact 1 upland sediment was removed from the stream to re-establish the bed to the previous natural elevation. The excavation and re -grading allowed the stream to flow freely once again. Stream banks were re -graded to a more stable slope then seed was sewn, matting was installed, and straw was applied for stabilization. The fill material that was removed from the channel was spread across the access path and stabilized as well. Silt fence was installed across the path and a diversion berm was installed upslope at the confluence of two logging paths perpendicular to the path and parallel to the stream to further prevent fill material from being deposited in the stream. Due to a disturbed yellow jacket nest the matting was not installed to down to the ordinary high water mark on the downstream side of the impact. At Channel Impact 2 additional debris (composed primarily of limbs, stumps, and roots) was removed from the stream and area adjacent to the stream. Only one bank at this location had been previously disturbed. This area was re -graded to create a more stable stream bank. The disturbed areas were then seeded, matted, and straw was applied upslope of where the matting was used on the steeper slopes. Silt fence was installed perpendicular to the stream as an additional preventative measure. Appendix B — Project Parcel Ownership Cambridge Properties, Inc. has not purchased the entire 30.55 acres. The sub parcel that Cambridge plans to develop is 16.15 acres and is located along the west side along NC Highway 16. Mr. Cecil Dellinger Jr and Mrs. Doris Keever retained ownership of the remaining acreage located on the east side of the larger parcel. Appendix B includes a map depicting the 16.15 acre parcel owned by Cambridge. It is not feasible to rotate the shopping center east as discussed during the site meeting due to the property line. Originally Cambridge had an agreement to purchase approximately 15 acres. During the impact minimization discussions Cambridge approached Mr. Dellinger and Mrs. Keever about purchasing additional acreage to the east in order to shift the shopping center to the east to avoid stream impacts to the west on the higher quality reach of stream. Appendix C — Site Plan Requirements, Pre -Application Avoidance and Minimization, Additional Impact Reduction, Arch Detail, and Drain Detail It is essential for the survival of the anchor tenant (Publix) as well as the adjacent small retail tenants for the parking to be located in front of the shopping center. Industry standard parking requirements for grocery anchored retail developments is five (5) parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of retail space. The site plan for Cambridge Village includes 4.81 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of retail space, which includes parking on the sides of the shopping center and behind the shops. Cambridge Properties were fortunate to be able to work with Publix and have them agree to a parking ratio less than the standard. Since Cambridge Village will be a grocery store anchored shopping center it will attract weekly or more frequent ATLAS Environmental, Inc. 712 English Tudor Lane Charlotte, North Carolina 28211 704-512-1206 (m) / 828-712-9205 (o) www.atlasenvi.com / Serving the Southeast US NiAml IT t visits from customers that will often more than not include these customers pushing shopping carts in the parking lot. It is critical to have parking close to the front door and as convenient as possible for the customers. Cambridge Village has already compromised on the overall number of spaces provided being less than the industry standard and on the location of some of these spaces being located on the side of the buildings and at the back of the buildings. It is also critically important for the survival of the small shop tenants to get the "walk by" traffic that is generated by the grocery store tenant. These shops need to be connected to the grocery store allowing customers to park and shop at the retail shops, eat at the restaurants, and shop at the grocery store without having to move their vehicle. Cambridge Village only has 13,100 square feet of smaller tenant shops and will mostly consist of small "mom and pop" businesses which will need the traffic generated by the large grocery store to survive. This grocery store foot traffic will be essential for the smaller stores and restaurants. Publix has the marketing ability and name recognition to bring in customer traffic to the shopping center which the smaller shops will need to survive. Being attached and sharing a parking lot with the grocery store is essential to the success of the small businesses. Prior to submittal of the permit application request Atlas had several conversations with David Shaeffer (who had subsequent conversations with Scott Jones) about the project. The original plan (which has already been submitted to your offices) required impacts to the entire reach of stream on site (approximately 770 linear feet). These impacts included constructing one stormwater pond along NC Highway 16 within the footprint of the stream. A second option which was discussed with David would have included an arched span for 475 linear feet. During the discussions David strongly suggested that the applicant revise the site plan to reduce impacts below Individual Permit thresholds (less than 300 linear feet of stream impacts). The design team worked diligently to reduce stream impacts below 300 linear feet. The 292 linear feet of stream impact requested in the PCN is a 62% reduction from Cambridge Properties preferred site plan. On Thursday, October 6, 2016 the design team met again to determine if further minimization of stream impacts were possible. The design team once again worked diligently to revise the site plan and have been able to reduce stream impacts further by 30 linear feet to 262 linear feet by relocating a storm outlet away from the stream. The storm outlet as shown on the enclosed maps within this appendix has relocated the storm drain outlet to the edge of a 50' stream buffer and will diffusely flow through the buffer. This outlet includes a level spreader. When / if the property that Mr. Dellinger and Mrs. Keever have retained is developed this outlet pipe will serve an additional stormwater pond for that development. The additional reduction of stream impacts of 30 linear feet represents as additional reduction by 10%. There has been an overall reduction of stream impacts from Cambridge Properties ideal site plan of 66%. There will also be temporary impacts during construction near the lower limit of stream impact. These anticipated temporary impacts, totaling approximately 10 feet, are included in the requested mitigation despite the plan for mitigating the temporary impacts for function and ascetics of the property. As requested a detail of the arch detail and drain detail is included on the site plans.

The proximity and number of parking spaces for the grocery store tenant and small store tenants has been discussed within the Appendix C section above. Cambridge Properties began discussions in June 2016 with Novant Health about a medical building on this out parcel. A site plan dated early August 2016 is included in Appendix D. Unbeknownst to Atlas during the agency site meeting Cambridge Properties is in contract negotiations with Novant Health for this out parcel which has its own parking space requirements. In summary, the additional requested restoration at the unintended temporary impact locations has been completed. Cambridge Properties did not purchase the entire parcel which has dictated the location of the grocery store complex. Reduction of stream impacts has also required the grocery store complex to move eastward. There are industry standards for the number of parking spaces required for grocery store complexes. The number of parking spaces being provided to Publix for Cambridge Village is less than the industry standard. The location of some of these parking spaces is a compromise as well. A significant reduction of stream impacts (62%) took place prior to submittal of the permit application request. The project team has made numerous revisions to the site plan for Cambridge Village in order to minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible, most recently reducing impacts an additional 10% down to 262 linear feet. A detail of the arched span and stream/wetland drain system has been included for your review. Please contact me if you need any additional information. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Cambridge Properties, Inc. contracted to purchase a portion of our land consisting of 15 acres to develop a grocery anchored shopping center. The remaining balance of the property we plan to retain. During the due diligence period, Cambridge approached us as the land owner asking to push the rear property line further back to reduce the amount of impact to the stream on the Cambridge property. We agreed to allow this shift in the property allowing Cambridge to reduce the impact to the stream. This increased the Cambridge property to 15.33 acres. Sincerely, Cecil M.
