D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The engineering design of the project only requires a single stream road crossing. The permanent impacts of this road
crossing have been minimized by placement within the intermittent section of stream and in a location with minimal
surrounding wetlands. The stream crossing is also placed in a location with little topographical relief where side slopes will be
minimal. Wetland impacts have been minimized by intentionally designing the development to avoid the largest areas of
wetland as open space and only impacting areas necessary for road construction and one lot preparation. Over 93% of the
stream will be avoided. Almost 94% of the wetlands have been avoided. Wetland impacts have been minimized by
intentionally designing the development to avoid the largest areas of wetland as open space and only impacting areas
necessary for road construction, one lot preparation, and minor parking lot fills.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Construction techniques have been used to minimize and avoid impacts by the placment of roads and the steepness of the
side slopes. Many of the roads and lots abut wetlands areas but do not impact wetland areas. By controling the steepness of
the side slopes permanent wetland impacts have been greatly reduced. Construction of retaining walls have minimized
wetland impacts. The stream culvert has been minimized to 82 linear feet of stream impact.
