Below are the comments for each of the letters and our responses which are based on the discussions at our meeting on 6/6/2022: USACE Request for Additional Information Letter(5/19/2022) A.i. The Corps disagrees with your stated Purpose and Need,given that the term"affordable housing" is not defined. Please note that the Corps makes the final determination regarding Basic and Overall Purpose and Need for a project. Based on your application, we have determined the Purpose and Need of your project to be the following: Basic: To construct a mixed-use, multifamily apartment complex and commercial/retail development. Overall: To construct a mixed-use multifamily apartment complex and commercial/retail development to meet the existing housing demand in Town of Cary and Wake County. As discussed during the 6/6/2022 meeting, we are revising the project Purpose and Need to eliminate the reference to "affordable workforce housing." The revised Purpose and Need is: To construct a mixed-use, multifamily apartment complex and commercial/retail development to provide alternative housing options for people who want to live in the Town of Cary but cannot afford to purchase a home due to high real estate prices. Currently, the median home sale price in the Town of Cary is in excess $600,000 (per www.Redfin.com on 6/17/2022) resulting in a significant barrier for entry into home ownership. These levels of high real estate prices persist throughout Wake County. Based on current interest rates (5.91%) on a 30-year mortgage with 20% down ($120,00), the monthly mortgage payment would be $2,850 per month before taxes and insurance. And interest rates continue to go up making the purchase of a home even more expensive. The current monthly cost of home 219 Station Road,Suite 101 I Wilmington,NC 28405 t:910.256.9277 I www.withersravenel.com I License No. F-1479 Asheville I Cary I Charlotte I Greensboro I Lumberton I Pittsboro I Raleigh I Southern Pines I Wilmington Legacy Cary - IP - Response to Requests for Additional Info , WitherSRavene l Cary,Wake CountyII 6/21/2022 Our r•..r: SutteSS ownership is more than 30% higher than the projected average rents for the proposed apartment complex. The proposed project will provide a garden style apartment community which will offer a quality home to the residents of Cary who cannot afford to purchase a home in Cary. The applicant also has a "Preferred Employer Program" (PEP) for all of their properties. The PEP offers special incentives for employees of specific businesses/organizations in the geographic area of a property. The PEP incentives include a waived application fee and 50% off the security deposit,which provides a significant savings for residents who are part of the Triangle work force. For the Cary Legacy property,the designated employers for the PEP program will be: NCSU,Cisco, John Deere, MetLife, ABB, Epic Games, Wells Fargo, Duke Progress Energy, Verizon, SAS, IBM, Relias Learning, Wake County Healthcare Professionals, State/Federal Employees, Wake County Schools, Duke, UNC,Wake Med and Rex Hospitals, Duke University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Sapiens Americas, Dataflux, Red Hat and Research Triangle Park. A.ii. For the offsite alternatives analysis, several siting criteria presented are not adequately justified in the application: a. The terms"Size/Yield"were used but not adequately explained, and it is unclear what the size requirements are for potentially smaller sites that may use a parking deck to minimize impacts. The"Size/Yield"criterion established the minimum size requirement for feasible sites as-20 acres of usable area to yield 300-500 multifamily units. A simple straight density calculation of 15-20 units per acre is used for garden style apartments. The density calculation allows for quick evaluation of sites to determine if they can potentially yield the required 300-500 minimum units to be feasible. While the initial density calculation may determine that a site could potentially provide the necessary units, other factors that reduce the usable area and unit yield must be evaluated. These factors include configuration/dimensions of the site, zoning setbacks, potential streams, wetlands,and riparian buffers(based on publicly available GIS data), FEMA floodplain,topography, sufficient area for stormwater management, etc. The attached revised Alternatives Analysis has been revised to provide additional explanation of the basis for the "Site/Yield" site selection criteria. The "potentially smaller sites," which are Alternative Site 3 (Macedonia Rd) and Alternative Site 4 (Kit Creek Rd), were initially included in the Offsite Alternatives Analysis to demonstrate that the applicant had evaluated numerous sites within Cary for the proposed project, including smaller sites through the use of parking structures. Since these smaller sites were eliminated by the applicant for several reasons, site planning and costs estimates for a parking structure were not completed and cannot be provided. Therefore,Alternative Site 3 (Macedonia Rd) and Alternative Site 4 (Kit Creek Rd) have been eliminated from the attached revised Alternatives Analysis. b. "Access"is used as a siting criterion;however,it is not clear that to be a practicable alternative, a multifamily housing and commercial development must be located within Y mile of an interstate. Per our discussion out the 6/6/2022 meeting, all of the offsite alternative sites met the "Access" criterion. Therefore, we have eliminated the "Access" criterion from the attached revised Alternatives Analysis. c. "Visibility"is used as a siting criterion;however,this criterion seems restrictive for the proposed project as it is not measurable. Please elaborate on the required distance for visibility from major roads and provide supporting documentation. Page 2 of 12 Legacy Cary - IP - Response to Requests for Additional Info , WitherSRavene l Cary,Wake County 6/21/2022 OL r,•..::...,.. ,. Suctess. The applicant's "Visibility" criteria is not based on a specific required distance from major roads. The "Visibility" criteria is based on a site having frontage along a heavily traveled road with direct line of sight of the buildings for commuters passing by the development. Visibility is a key component of a multifamily site evaluation because it is important for prospective residents to be able to easily see the property, not just the signage, from the road. A quality built property visible as one passes by on the road adds to the overall attractiveness of a development. It should also not be underestimated that strong visibility from a heavily travelled road results in potential residents driving by the property stopping in for impromptu tours or will note the property name and call back to schedule a tour. Based on the applicant's extensive expertise in the rental multifamily developments, apartment complexes with visibility from primary traffic routes have a substantially faster leasing rate than those developments that do not have visibility from primary traffic routes. The ability to quickly lease a property to a high occupancy rate also affects the applicant's ability to refinance an apartment complex development from a construction loan to a commercial loan. The Visibility criterion is even more important to the commercial/retail component of the proposed project. The commercial lot on the west side of Twyla Rd will be developed as a hotel as shown in the revised Impact Maps (attached). The users/business types for two "future commercial" lots on the east side of Twyla Rd have not been determined to date. However, the approved Planned Density Development (PDD) for the project site allows nonresidential (commercial/retail) uses on the future commercial lots such as restaurants, banks, ABC stores, convenience stores, small shopping centers, indoor recreation, retail stores, wellness centers, etc. All of these potential uses/businesses rely on visibility from a heavily traveled road for exposure to attract customers/patrons. Visibility is a key component of the success for any type of commercial/retail business that would be located on these future commercial lots. It should be noted that the Town of Cary has a sign ordinance(Chapter 9 of the Land Development Ordinance) that has restrictions on the location, size, and height of signage. The sign ordinance prohibits signs in the ROW, and also requires signs for multifamily developments be no more than 42" in height and no more than 32 sf in area. As an example, 32 sf sign would be an 8' long x 4' tall sign,which cannot be higher than 42"off the ground and must be located outside of the ROW. This results in small signage for the apartment complex and commercial/retail businesses, making visibility from a heavily travelled road even more important for the ability to quickly lease the apartment complex and success of the commercial/retail businesses within the development. The revised Alternative's Analysis has been updated to provide additional explanation of the "Visibility" criterion. d. "Utilities"is used as siting criterion; however, this criterion does not provide any information pertaining to the differences to provide utilities to all alternatives, if needed. A cost comparison should be provided for each alternative. The availability of utilities immediately adjacent to a potential site is a particularly important criterion when determining a feasible site. The general cost to construct a water main is approximately $160/LF and the general cost to construct a gravity sewer line is approximately $455/LF, with some variability in cost depending on the size and type of pipe used. The proposed project site (Twyla Rd) and Alternative 1 (Alston Ave) had existing water and sewer immediately adjacent and therefore, there were no additional costs associated with connecting to these utilities. Page 3 of 12 Legacy Cary - IP - Response to Requests for Additional Info , WithersRavenel Cary,Wake County 6/21/2022 c;<,•..::...,.. ,. Suctess. There are no existing water or sewer lines immediately adjacent to Alternative Site 2 (Green Level West Road). At the time of the applicant's evaluation of Alternative Site 2, the nearest existing water main was located approximately 5,000 LF west and the nearest existing sewer line was located approximately 1,100 feet west of the site. In order to develop this site,the applicant would be responsible for cost of constructing these utilities to the site. Based on the applicant's discussion with their contractors, construction of the water main to the site would be $800,000 ($160/LF x 5,000 LF) and construction of the gravity sewer line to the site would be $500,000 ($455/LF x 1,100 LF). This represents a total cost of $1.3 million to bring utilities to Alternative Site 3. This is a substantial additional cost which renders this site financially unfeasible and therefore Alternative Site 3 not a viable alternative site. The"Utilities"criterion in the Alternatives Analysis has been revised to provide the requested cost information for each site for comparison. e. If 20 acres of developable upland is required for the proposed project,please explain why off- site areas that offered less than 20 acres of developable upland were assessed. This is a basic requirement that should be met for all alternatives for them to be considered. The sites smaller than 20 acres included in the Alternatives Analysis were Alternative Site 3 (Macedonia Road)and Alternative Site 4(Kit Creek Road). These sites were included in the original Alternatives Analysis to demonstrate that the applicant had completed an extensive evaluation of various sites for their proposed project with alternative product styles. Per our discussion at the 6/6/2022 meeting, we have eliminated Alternative Site 3 (Macedonia Road) and Alternative Site 4 (Kit Creek Road) from the Alternatives Analysis. The revised Alternatives Analysis has been provided as an attachment. f. The Corps is interested in additional information referencing Alternative Site 1 - Alston Avenue, as it appears this would be the least environmentally damaging alternative resulting in no impacts to waters of the US. Specifically, explain if site size requirements would be met if a parking deck were used for the site. Also, please provide a cost estimate to import fill for the site. The applicant's site selection process begins with initial due diligence of sites based on publicly available information, such as the Wake County iMaps website. The applicant evaluated Alternative Site 1 (Alston Avenue) in 2017. Based on Wake County iMaps, there are five streams and a pond shown on the site. At the time of evaluation, the applicant had to assume that these features existed and were likely jurisdictional to the USACE/NCDWR. Therefore, the initial due diligence evaluation determined that development of this site and would result in approximately 1,550 LF of stream impacts and 1.0 acre of pond impacts, which would have been more impacts than the preferred alternative site (Twyla Road), which results in 1,087 LF of permanent stream impacts and 0.442 ac of permanent wetland impacts). The previous Alternatives Analysis in the original IP application discussed the wetland delineation and USACE/NCDWR verifications completed by WithersRavenel for Alternative Site 1 (Alston Ave). However, WithersRavenel completed the delineation/agency verifications for another developer after the applicant had eliminated this site. Therefore, the applicant had no knowledge that this site did not have any jurisdictional features during their due diligence investigation. Therefore, we have eliminated the discussion of the WithersRavenel delineation and agency approvals in the alternatives analysis, as this was completed for another developer after the applicant moved on from the site and therefore had no bearing on the applicant's evaluation of the site. Alternative Site 1 (Alston Ave) has since been purchased by another developer and is no longer an option as an alternative site. Page 4 of 12 Legacy Cary - IP - Response to Requests for Additional Info , WithersRavenel Cary,Wake County 6/21/2022 Ourr•. SutteSS .r: Since the applicant's initial due diligence determined Alternative Site 1 (Alston Ave) was not a suitable site,a formal grading plan was not completed,so we are unable to provide an estimate for the cost to import fill to the site. The attached Alternatives Analysis has been revised to include this information in the analysis for Alternative Site 1 (Alston Ave). B.i. Please provide additional information regarding the Stockwell Lane extension. Specifically,could the Stockwell Lane extension be used as primary access for the proposed development, thereby eliminating the need to relocate Twyla Road. Per the Town of Cary's requirements, the project site must have two points of access, both for efficiency of traffic patterns and emergency access. Therefore,the Stockwell Lane extension must be constructed even if Twyla Road was not relocated/improved. Twyla Road must be connected to the Morrisville Parkway traffic circle per the Town of Cary's approved PDD for the project. An excerpt from the approved PDD documenting this connection requirement is attached. Additionally, Morrisville Parkway is a NCDOT controlled access road, and NCDOT approved a controlled access break at the traffic circle for the Twyla Road connection as documented in the attached emails from NCDOT. B.ii Could additional avoidance and minimization be achieved by relocating Stream 1 on either side of Twyla Road. Relocation of Stream 1 to the west side of the improved Twyla Road is not feasible onsite alternative because it would require the stream to be relocated onto a parcel not owned by the applicant. If Stream 1 were relocated to the west side of Twyla Road,the 50'Jordan Lake Riparian Buffers and 100' Town of Cary Urban Transition Buffers would encumber most of this parcel, rendering the parcel unusable. Additionally, relocation of Stream 1 to the west would result in only short sections of open channel, with the majority of the stream still being piped to allow for construction of the western parking area and SCM. Therefore,the relocated portions of Stream 1 would have little functional value thereby not resulting in any significant minimization of impacts to Stream 1, and the functional value of Stream 1 is better served through provision of mitigation in a regionally significant mitigation site. Relocation of Stream 1 to the east side of the improved Twyla Road is not a feasible onsite alternative because the 50' Jordan Lake Buffers and 100' Town of Cary Urban Transition Buffers would be pushed further into the eastern portion of the project site. This would greatly reduce the developable area within the eastern portion of the project site, resulting in the elimination of several buildings and parking which would reduce the total unit yield to well below the 300 unit minimum necessary for the project to be feasible. The attached Alternatives Analysis has been revised to include this information in the onsite alternatives analysis. B.iii Regarding the Twyla Road improvements and Stockwell Lane extension, could additional avoidance and minimization of streams and wetlands be achieved by bridging? Based on information provided by WithersRavenel engineers familiar with the cost of bridge construction, the general cost for construction of a two-lane concrete bridge is approximately $8,000/LF. Page 5 of 12 Legacy Cary - IP - Response to Requests for Additional Info , WitherSRavene l Cary,Wake County 6/21/2022 OL r,•..::...,.. ,. Suctess. Bridging the Stockwell Lane extension to avoid impacts to Streams 2 & 3 would require a 250 LF bridge to connect to the existing Stockwell Lane road stub and span the entirety Streams 2 &3 to avoid impacts. The approximate cost of the bridge would be $2 million. There would also be additional costs resulting from having to hire a bridge contractor to construct the bridge. Please note the proposed project has not been issued for bid,so the actual cost of construction of the Stockwell Lane as proposed (traditional culverted road) is not known at this time. However, based on industry standard costs for similar roadways, the approximate cost of construction is $250/LF. Construction of this same 250 LF section of Stockwell Lane is approximately $62,500. Also, assuming $100,000 cost for necessary additional fill and $200,000 for the approximate cost of the two culverts, the total approximate cost for construction of Stockwell Lane as a traditional culverted road would be around $362,500. The cost of a bridge is over 5 times higher than the cost of a traditional culverted road. Therefore, bridging the Stockwell Lane extension is not a practicable onsite alternative due to the $2 million cost. In order to utilize a bridge for the Twyla Road improvements, a 950 LF bridge would be required to avoid impacts to Stream 1,which would cost approximately$7.6 million. This design would also result in Stream 1 being located beneath the bridge for the entire length of the bridge, resulting in secondary impacts such as shading. The cost of construction of the improvements to Twyla Road at the $250/LF is approximately $237,500. Also, assuming $300,000 cost for bringing in additional fill to construct the road, the total approximate cost for construction of Twyla Road as a traditional road would be around $537,500. The cost of a bridge is 14 times higher than the cost of a traditional road. Therefore, bridging the Twyla Road is not a practicable onsite alternative due to the $7.6 million cost. This information has been included in the revised Alternatives Analysis which has been provided as an attachment. B.iv. Please confirm that wetland impacts are not proposed for Wetland D. If so, please update the site application and plan sheets accordingly. The proposed improvements to Twyla Road will result in impacts to Wetland D. These impacts were overlooked during preparation of the impact maps due to the amount of linework for the grading in this area. The Wetland Impact Maps have been revised to include the 0.107 acres of permanent impact(Impact W9)to Wetland D. We have also updated the PCN form to include the impacts to Wetland D. The revised PCN form and updated Wetland Impact Maps have been provided as attachments. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the 0.107 acres of impacts to Wetland D at a 2:1 mitigation ratio. The proposed mitigation in the revised PCN form has been updated. We have also provided an updated NCDMS Letter of Acceptance to reflect the revised mitigation as an attachment. NCDWR Request for Additional Information Letter(5/11/2022) 2. The applicant states that Twyla Rd is required to be constructed to the northern cul-de-sac. Please provide further justification for the need to road improvements beyond the traffic circle at the entrance into Legacy Cary. It is not evident that the impacts associated with this portion of the road are necessary. The northern cul-de-sac is necessary to continue to provide access to the privately owned parcels adjacent to the north of Legacy Cary which currently use Twyla Road for access. There are existing access easements extending from the current terminus of Twyla Road to provide access to these Page 6 of 12 Legacy Cary - IP - Response to Requests for Additional Info , WithersRavenel Cary,Wake CountyIt& 6/21/2022 OL r,•..::...,.. ,. Suctess. parcels. Therefore, the applicant is required to maintain the existing access easements from the northern cul-de-sac to these properties. The impact maps have been updated to show and label these existing easements more clearly. 3. Will the roadways be conveyed to the Town of Cary upon completion. Please clarify. Stockwell Lane and Twyla Road will be conveyed to the Town of Cary as public roads upon completion of construction. 4. Please clarify how stormwater will be collected and treated from the improved Twyla Rd and new portion of Stockwell Lane. Please note that if the road is to become publicly maintained then stormwater for the roadway must be treated in accordance with regulations applicable to linear transportation facilities. If the road, or any portion thereof, will not be maintained by the Town or NCDOT in the future then all stormwater from the roadway must be treated as part of the development. The project has been designed to capture stormwater runoff from Twyla Road and Stockwell Lane and convey it the proposed SCM on the west side of Twyla Road for treatment. 5. The application states that Stream 2 is an intermittent channel, however Figure 6 indicates that the stream is Perennial. Please clarify. Based on remote mapping it appears that Stream 2 is sufficiently large enough to be classified as Perennial throughout the project limits. The classification of Stream 2 as an intermittent stream was based on the original delineation completed in March 2018 which was approved by the USACE. The March 2018 delineation determined that the upper reach of Stream 2 was intermittent and transitioned to perennial below the confluence of Streams 2, 3&4. However,the construction of Morrisville Parkway in late 2018 (after the original delineation) created a stormwater outfall for the road runoff into the crenulation associated with Streams 2, 3 & 4 . This discharge of stormwater from Morrisville Parkway has resulted in high velocity flows during heavy rain events which has caused significant erosion and downcutting of Stream 2 as noted in the attached photo documentation. The downcutting within Stream 2 is approximately 4-6 feet deep. WithersRavenel conducted an additional site visit on 6/15/2022 to complete NCDWR stream forms for Streams 2 & 3. As a result of the erosion/downcutting of Stream 2, the channel within the S5 impact area now receives constant groundwater baseflow and currently scores as a perennial stream (36 points). The perennial start point has migrated upstream of the culvert alignment due to the erosion/downcutting of the stream bed, whereas the perennial start point in 2018 was at the confluence of Streams 2, 3 &4. The NCDWR stream forms for Streams 2 & 3 have been provided as an attachment. Therefore, we have updated the impact maps to note Stream 2 as a perennial stream, and we have updated the Stream Impact Table in the PCN form to show impacts to Stream 2 (Impacts S4, S5 & S6) as perennial stream impacts. The updated impacts maps and revised PCN form have been provided as attachments. 6. Please provide NCDWR stream forms to support the classification of Streams 1 and 3 as intermittent streams/stream segments. NCDWR stream forms for Streams 1, 2, 3 &4 have been provided as attachments. 7. Please clarify if Wetland K has been delineated by the USACE. Figure 6 and Wetland Impact maps show Wetland K,however the figure attached to the USACE JD does not include a wetland at this location. Page 7 of 12 Legacy Cary - IP - Response to Requests for Additional Info , WithersRavenel Cary,Wake County 6/21/2022 OL r,•..::...,.. ,. Suctess. Wetland K was included in the delineation that was approved by the USACE in 2019. At that time, Wetland K was labeled as "Wetland E" as shown in the "Approved Delineation Exhibit" in the attached concurrence email from the USACE dated 6/12/2019. WithersRavenel submitted an updated Preliminary JD Request to the USACE in December 2021 reflecting the migration of the origin of Stream 3 further downstream. When preparing the exhibits for the new PJD request,the WithersRavenel staff member who prepared the exhibits did not include Wetland K (formerly Wetland E) in the exhibits because it was "offsite" as is our typical practice and renumbered the wetlands,which is why this wetland was not shown on the 12/21/2021 PJD issued by the USACE. However,Wetland K(formerly Wetland E)was previously delineated and approved by the USACE as documented in the attached concurrence email from the USACE dated 6/12/2019. 8. The impact maps and PCN application do not appear to include impacts to Wetland D however the proposed site plan appears to eliminate Wetland D. The proposed improvements to Twyla Road will result in the elimination of Wetland D. These impacts were overlooked during preparation of the impact maps due to the amount of linework for the grading in this area. The Wetland Impact Maps have been revised to include the 0.107 acres of permanent impact (Impact W9) to Wetland D. We have also updated the PCN form to include the impacts to Wetland D. The revised PCN and updated Wetland Impact Maps have been provided as attachments. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the 0.107 acres of impacts to Wetland D at a 2:1 mitigation ratio. The proposed mitigation in the revised PCN form has been updated. We have also provided an updated NCDMS Letter of Acceptance to reflect the revised mitigation as an attachment. 9. Impacts to Wetland E appear to be for"future commercial use." In order to adequately document avoidance and minimization, please provide a specific site plan for this development area. It appears that impacts to this wetland could be minimized by reducing the fill area slightly which would still provide for a sufficient area for future commercial development. The "future commercial area" adjacent to Wetland E will be developed as a hotel and the impact maps have been updated to show the design of the hotel and associated impacts. The impact maps have been revised to break out the impacts to Wetland E into separate impacts for road grading(Impact W1 - 0.025 ac) and construction of the hotel (Impact W11 - 0.051 ac). The applicant did not have a formal design of the hotel prior to the original IP application submittal. The incorporation of the hotel design into site plan and completion of the grading plan, it was determined that additional impacts to Wetland K would be necessary for the hotel grading. The Wetland Impact Table in the PCN form have been updated to reflect the separation of the impacts. The updated Wetland Impact Maps and PCN form have been provided as attachments. 10. The application states that further avoidance and minimization cannot be accomplished because it would cause a loss in area to provide stormwater control measure (SCM). While the Division recognizes the need for the project to provide options for meeting stormwater management,there are a wide variety of treatment options for meeting stormwater requirements,including providing smaller SCMs,SCMs that can be integrated into the greenspace, and/or require smaller acreage. Please either provide further justification for this statement or remove it from the onsite alternative analysis. Page 8 of 12 Legacy Cary - IP - Response to Requests for Additional Info , WitherSRavene l Cary,Wake Countyill 6/21/2022 Ourr•. SutteSS .r: The statement/discussion regarding relocation of Twyla Road to the west not being a feasible alternative due to reduction of the SCM has been removed from the onsite alternatives analysis in the attached revised Alternatives Analysis. 11. Please clarify why the culvert for Stream 3 is proposed to be installed at a 2% slope to reduce outlet velocity, however culvert for Stream 2 is proposed at a 2.38%slope. Given that Stream 3 starts under the roadway fill,it is unclear what surface flow would be generating the velocity. The Stream 3 culvert will only convey flood level flows during extreme rain events when velocity of overland flow moving through the area is extremely high due to concentrated discharge from Morrisville Parkway storm drainage outfall. Since there is no channel upstream of the Stream 3 culvert, the culvert did not have to be buried to maintain aquatic life passage. Therefore, the Stream 3 culvert could be designed at a 2% slope resulting in the downstream end of the culvert perched above the riprap plunge pool to further dissipate flow velocity. The Stream 2 culvert was designed at a 2.38% slope to match the gradient of the existing stream channel and will be buried 12" below the stream bed to meet aquatic life passage requirements. 12. Please provide a restoration plan detail and vegetation planting plan for the temporary impact areas. As discussed at the 6/6/2022 meeting, the temporary wetland impacts at Impact W8 (0.026 ac) will occur from the construction of a temporary riprap coffer dam to allow flow to by bypassed around the Stockwell Lane extension construction area so that work can be completed "in the dry". The coffer dam will also provide temporary access during construction. Once construction is complete, the coffer dam will be removed entirely, and the temporary wetland impact area will be restored to pre-construction grades and seeded with a wetland seed mix to stabilize the area. 13. The Division questions whether Stream 4 will continue to function at the same level upon construction of Stockwell Lane. It appears to be a stream that is formed by flow from the upslope wetland. Construction of Stockwell Lane will divert most of the flow in the area into the two culverts, therefore bypassing Stream 4,starving its hydrology, and reducing its function. During a site visit on 6/15/2022 to prepare NCDWR stream forms for Streams 1, 2 & 3, we also completed a form for Stream 4. During the original delineation in March 2018, Stream 4 scored as an intermittent stream. However, Stream 4 currently scores as ephemeral (9.5) as shown in the attached NCDWR stream form. Photos taken on 6/15/2022 have also been provided documenting the current conditions of Stream 4 (see attached Photo Documentation). We believe that the changes in conditions of Stream 4 are due to several factors. The stormwater discharge into the overall crenulation has created highly erosive flows through the crenulation. This has resulted in altered flow/drainage patterns that have directed flow away from Stream 4. There currently are no discernable drainage patterns within the upslope wetlands (Wetland J) that flow to Stream 4. Additionally, the erosion/downcutting of Stream 2 has resulted in the channel being deepened up to 6' in places. We believe this may have changed the subsurface groundwater movement, as the bed of Stream 2 is now much lower than Stream 4 and may be draining groundwater away from Stream 4. For comparison of hydrologic conditions, we have also provided photos taken on 6/15/2022 of Streams 2 & 3 which show flow in both streams (see attached Photo Documentation). Please note that we are not requesting a formal reclassification of Stream 4 as an ephemeral channel. We are providing this information in order to document the current conditions of Stream Page 9 of 12 Legacy Cary - IP - Response to Requests for Additional Info 4111 withers Rave n e l Cary,Wake County 6/21/2022 our Prr`I._ ur SuccISS. 4 as it pertains to the current hydrology and function. Stream 4 is not currently functioning as a stream primarily because it is no longer receiving significant flow from the upslope wetland. Therefore, we are not assessing any secondary impacts to Stream 4 as the construction of Stockwell Lane will not alter the hydrology or affect the function of Stream 4 in excess of the current conditions and will not cause any further degradation of Stream 4. 14. Please clarify how the riprap dissipators will be installed such that the remainder of Wetland J below the culverts will continue to function. The Division is concerned that excavation of the area to install culvers and the large dissipators will cause significant changes to the hydrology of the wetland in this area. The hydrology of Wetland J is already being affected by the erosion of Streams 2 & 3 to depths that are causing a draining affect within Wetland J. The small size of the undisturbed portions of Wetland J between Stockwell Lane and Streams 2,3&4, and the bypassing of surface flow around this portion of Wetland J through the culverts once Stockwell Lane is constructed may result in the hydrology being affected. Therefore, we have assessed this portion of Wetland J as a permanent, indirect secondary impact(Impact W6 - 0.004 ac &W10 - 0.032 ac = 0.036 ac). The attached revised PCN form and revised Wetland Impact Maps include the addition of the 0.032 ac of secondary impacts to Wetland J. The applicant proposes to mitigate for the 0.036 ac of potential indirect secondary impacts to Wetland J at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. The proposed mitigation in the revised PCN form has been updated. We have also provided an updated NCDMS Letter of Acceptance to reflect the revised mitigation as an attachment. Additional In formation Updated Mitigation Plan Due to the additional permanent impacts to Wetland D,Wetland K and indirect secondary impacts to Wetland J, the mitigation plan has been updated as noted in the following table: Proposed Wetland Mitigation Table (Revised) Impact Type Impacts Ratio Mitigation Proposed Permanent Wetland Impacts 0.480 ac 2:1 0.96 ac (Direct) Secondary Wetland Impact 0.036 ac 1:1 0.036 ac Total Wetland Mitigation Proposed 0.996 ac As discussed in the original IP application, an NCSAM assessment was conducted for Stream 1 (intermittent)which determined that the functional value was"Low" due to the historic alterations during construction of Twyla Road. An NCSAM assessment was conducted for Stream 2 (perennial)which determined the functional value was"Low" due to the degradation of the stream from erosion. An NCSAM assessment was conducted for Stream 3 (intermittent) which determined the functional value was "High". Due to the"Low"functional value of Streams 1 &2, the applicant proposes to mitigate for the 793 LF of permanent impacts to Stream 1 and 188 LF of permanent impacts to Stream 2 at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. The applicant proposes to mitigate for 106 LF of permanent impacts to Stream 3 at a 2:1 mitigation ratio.

Proposed Stream Mitigation Table (Revised) Impact Type Impacts Ratio Mitigation Proposed Stream 1 Impacts 793 LF 1:1 793 LF (Intermittent) Stream 2 Impacts 188 LF 1:1 188 LF (Perennial) Stream 3 Impacts 106 LF 2:1 212 LF (Intermittent) Total Mitigation Proposed 1,193 LF WR contacted mitigation banks that service the Cape Fear 0303000206 basin (RES/Restoration Systems) to determine availability of stream and wetland mitigation. Neither mitigation bank has enough stream or credits currently available to provide the total 1,193 LF of stream mitigation and 0.996 acres of wetland mitigation even when combined. Both banks are expecting future releases of stream credits prior to issuance of the 404/401 permits. In order to provide certainty that the applicant has the ability to provide the proposed 1,193 LF of stream mitigation and 0.996 acres of wetland mitigation for the project, WR obtained a ILF Letter of Acceptance from NCDMS for the entire stream and wetland mitigation proposed, which is attached. Prior to issuance of the 404/401 permits, WR will coordinate with the mitigation banks to determine what stream and wetland credits are available at that time and will reserve as much stream mitigation credits as possible within the banks and submit a mitigation proposal modification notification to the USACE and NCDWR specifying the stream/wetland mitigation credits to be purchased from a mitigation bank, or combination of mitigation banks and NCDMS (if necessary) for the preparation of the M RTFs. Existing Driveway Culvert Removal in Stream 1 The applicant received comments from the Town of Cary requesting that an existing 30"x 12' long culvert within Stream 1 be removed. This is an old driveway culvert which is undersized and restricts flow during significant rain events due to its small size. This culvert is located in the northeastern portion of Stream 1, outside of our limits of disturbance and downstream of the Stream 1 impact area. This culvert is where Stream 1 transitions from intermittent to perennial. Per the Town's, the applicant will remove the culvert and restore an open channel. Once the culvert is removed, the channel will be graded to match the shape, size, and grades of the upstream/downstream portions of Stream 1. Removal of the culvert will be conducted during a period with no forecasted rainfall so that work can be done in the dry. Appropriate sediment & erosion control measures will be put in place to prevent sedimentation of the downstream waters, including placement of biodegradable jute matting on the banks. Please note that no matting will be placed on the stream bed. The removal of the culvert will only result in disturbance within the existing footprint of the culvert. Therefore,there will not be any temporary or permanent stream impacts associated with removal of the culvert and therefore no additional impacts have been included in the PCN form or revised Stream Impact Maps. We have noted the location of the culvert to be removed on the Stream Impact Maps and added a note specifying that the culvert will be removed to restore an open channel.

Learn More. Sean, Per our discussion a couple of weeks ago, the Twyla Road North development is proposing to tie into the 4th leg of the roundabout currently under construction on Morrisville Pkwy at the 1-540 interchange northbound ramps. Per the roadway plans prepared by RK&K, there is a 60' break in C/A where the 4th leg would go. As discussed we have prepared an analysis of this intersection with and without the 4th leg for both the short-term condition with roundabouts and 2 lanes on Morrisville Parkway as well as the long-term condition with signals and 4 lanes on Morrisville Parkway. Attached is a memorandum summarizing our findings (it works!) and our recommendations (that you allow it!). Synchro and SIDRA analysis files are also attached. We have discussed this with the Town of Cary. They have not reviewed this report in detail, but they are in favor and supportive of this access connection. David and Priyatham are copied on this email. Please let us know if you have any questions about this or if you would like hard copies. Thank you, Travis Fluitt, P.E.

Project Description and History 4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The project site consists primarily of mature forest. The project site previously contained several single family lots/dwellings and associated yards on both sides of Twyla Road prior to being purchased by the applicant. Twyla Road bisects the project site and currently is the only point of access to the project area, as well as privately owned property to the north and west of the project. 4b.

List the total estimated acreage of all existing open waters on the property: 0 acres 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a mixed -use, multifamily apartment complex and commercial/retail development to provide alternative housing options for people who want to live in the Town of Cary but cannot afford to purchase a home due to high real estate prices. . The applicant chose the Town of Cary as the desired location for the proposed project based on numerous factors including proximity/access to high paying jobs within Cary and surrounding municipalities, thriving social/entertainment scene, schools, access to various transportation networks, and other factors that make Cary a desirable place to live. The applicants market research determined that there is a deficit of affordable rental workforce housing within the Town of Cary. Additionally, the median home price within the Town of Cary is in excess of $600,000 (per www.Redfin.com on 6/17/2022) resulting in a significant barrier for entry into home ownership. The high home prices and deficit in affordable rental workforce housing makes the Town of Cary the ideal location for the proposed project. These levels of high real estate prices persist throughout Wake County. Based on current interest rates (5.91 %) on a 30-year mortgage with 20% down ($120,00), the monthly mortgage payment would be $2,850 per month before taxes and insurance. And interest rates continue to go up making the purchase of a home even more expensive. The current monthly cost of home ownership is more than 30% higher than the projected average rents for the proposed apartment complex. The proposed project will provide a garden style apartment community which will offer a quality home to the residents of Cary who cannot afford to purchase a home in Cary. Additionally, the proposed project is located 0.17 miles from the Morrisville Parkway/540 interchange, allowing residents immediate access to 540 to travel to various locations throughout the triangle and eliminating traffic congestion on smaller roads and thoroughfares within the Town of Cary. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: See PCN Cover Letter for details on the proposed project. 4j. Attach project drawings/site diagrams/depictions of impact areas for the proposed project. Page 6 of 22 PCN Form - Version 1.5, September 2020 5. Jurisdictional Determinations 5a.

Avoidance and Minimization la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through project design: Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be minimized. Proposed wetland and stream impacts have been minimized to only those necessary for infrastructure. There are no proposed impacts for construction of buildings, parking, or stormwater management. The majority of the proposed wetland and stream impacts are necessary for construction of the roads for access to the site. The primary access to the proposed Legacy Cary development will be Twyla Road from Morrisville Parkway. The existing connection of Twyla Road to Morrisville Parkway will be relocated to the traffic circle because the existing intersection is too close to the traffic circle to meet NCDOT separation standards. Also, relocating Twyla Road to connect to the traffic circle provides safer conditions for vehicles entering and leaving Twyla Road. Aside from the relocation of the connection of Twyla Road to the Morrisville Parkway traffic circle, Twyla Road will be improved in its current location/alignment. Twyla Road will be a public road and is required to be improved to meet Town of Cary design standards for a public roadway and will have a 60' ROW. Twyla Road must be widened and raised 33 feet in elevation to match the existing elevation of Morrisville Parkway traffic circle (350' elevation) and transition the road to natural grade at the northern cul-de-sac (282' elevation). The required improvements to Twyla Road will result in permanent impacts to the Stream 1 (intermittent) that runs parallel to Twyla Road only a few feet from the existing edge of pavement. As discussed in depth in the "Onsite Alternatives" section of the attached Alternatives Analysis, various alignments and designs for Twyla Road improvements were explored and determined to not be feasible or not resulting in a reduction of impacts to Stream 1. The extension of Stockwell Lane is necessary to meet Town of Cary's interconnectivity requirements and will provide a secondary access to Morrisville Parkway for residents of Fryars Gate subdivision traveling west on Morrisville Parkway. The alignment of the Stockwell Lane extension was restricted by the location of the existing road stub within the Fryars Gate subdivision to the east. The proposed impacts for the Stockwell Lane extension have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable while maintaining a functional design that prevents future disturbance to Streams 2 & 3 as discussed in depth in the "Proposed Project" section above. Upon completion of construction of the Stockwell Lane extension, the temporary coffer dams within Wetland J, and Streams 2 & 3 will be removed. The temporary stream impact areas restored to natural grade (bed and bank). The stream banks will be lined with biodegradable matting and seeded, if possible, depending on the water levels. No matting will be placed on the stream bed. Additionally, temporary wetland impact areas will be restored to natural grade and seeded with a wetland seed mix. The greenway trail has been designed to minimize wetland impacts to only those necessary for a riprap dissipator for a culvert in the greenway trail to prevent erosion within Wetland F. There are no proposed wetland or stream impacts required for construction of the greenway trail. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize proposed impacts through construction techniques: During construction, access will occur within uplands where practical. Sediment & erosion control devices and silt fencing will be installed prior to construction to prevent sediment from escaping into downstream waters and also avoid disturbance wetlands and streams beyond the approved impact areas. 2.

WR contacted mitigation banks that service the Cape Fear 0303000206 basin (RES/Restoration Systems) to determine availability of proposed stream and wetland mitigation. Neither mitigation bank has enough stream or wetland credits currently available to provide the total 0.996 acres of wetland mitigation and 1,193 If of stream mitigation proposed even when combined. Both banks are expecting future releases of stream and wetland credits prior to issuance of the 404/401 permits. In order to provide certainty that the applicant has the ability to provide the proposed stream and wetland mitigation for the project, WR obtained a ILF Letter of Acceptance from NCDMS for the entire 0.996 acres of wetland mitigation and 1,193 If of stream mitigation proposed, which is attached. Prior to issuance of the 404/401 permits, WR will coordinate with the mitigation banks to determine what stream and wetland credits are available at that time and will reserve as much of each type of mitigation credits as possible within the banks and submit a mitigation proposal modification notification to the USACE and NCDWR specifying the wetland mitigation credits to be purchased from a mitigation bank, or combination of mitigation banks and NCDMS (if necessary) for the preparation of the MRTFs.

Legacy Cary (Twyla Rd) Alternatives Analysis Revised 6/21/2022 The applicant submits this discussion of alternatives to assist the USACE in evaluating the application for authorization to discharge fill material into waters of the US. This alternatives analysis is intended to demonstrate that there is not a practicable alternative to the proposed project, both in location and design, which would result in less adverse impacts on the aquatic ecosystem as required by the Section 404(b)(1) guidelines. A. Project Location The applicant chose the Town of Cary as the desired location for the proposed project based on numerous factors including proximity/access to high paying jobs within Cary and surrounding municipalities, thriving social/entertainment scene, schools, access to various transportation networks, and other factors that make Cary a desirable place to live. The applicants market research determined that there is a deficit of rental apartment housing within the Town of Cary. Additionally, the median home sell price within the Town of Cary is in excess of $600,000 (per www.Redfin.com on 6/17/2022) resulting in a high barrier for entry into home ownership. The high home prices and deficit in rental housing options makes the Town of Cary the ideal location for the proposed rental apartment complex. B. Offsite Alternatives Analysis The applicant considered four additional sites other than the preferred/proposed project site for construction of the proposed project. A set of site selection criteria was developed to aid in the search for suitable sites and ultimate selection of a site. The applicant's site selection criteria for viable site selection were as follows: 1. Site Size/Yield - Total size of site may vary but generally must have -20 acres of usable area to yield 300-500 multifamily units including necessary infrastructure. A simple density calculation of 15-20 units per acre is used for garden style apartments. The density calculation allows for quick evaluation of sites to determine if they can potentially yield the required 300-500 minimum units to be feasible. While the initial density calculation may determine that a site could potentially provide the necessary units, other factors, such as configuration/dimensions of the site, zoning setbacks, potential streams/wetlands/riparian buffers, FEMA floodplain, topography, stormwater requirements, etc., could further reduce the usable area/unit yield and must be evaluated to determine feasibility of a potential site. 2. Topography - General topography of site must allow for a balanced site for grading, with no excessive import or export of fill to manage construction costs. 3. Visibility - Must front primary traffic routes for ease of access by residents and prospective residents and should have visibility from a major road so to be easily seen by approaching traffic for exposure to prospective residents. Please note that there is not a specific metric for the Visibility criteria such as a required distance from major roads, but rather having frontage along a heavily travelled road with direct line of sight of the buildings for commuters passing by the development. 219 Station Road, Suite 101 1 Wilmington, NC 28405 t: 910.256.9277 1 www.withersravenel.com 1 License No. F-1479 Asheville 1 Cary 1 Charlotte 1 Greensboro 1 Lumberton 1 Pittsboro 1 Raleigh 1 Southern Pines 1 Wilmington :WiLhersRavenel Cur People. Your Success. Visibility is a key component of a multifamily site evaluation because it is important for prospective residents to be able to easily see the property, not just the signage, from the road. A quality built property visible as one passes by on the road adds to the overall attractiveness of a development. Strong visibility from a heavily travelled road results in potential residents driving by the property stopping in for impromptu tours or will note the property name and call back to schedule a tour. Based on the applicant's extensive expertise in the rental multifamily developments, apartment complexes with visibility from primary traffic routes have a substantially faster leasing rate than those developments that do not have visibility from primary traffic routes. The ability to quickly lease a property to a high occupancy rate also affects the applicant's ability to refinance an apartment complex development from a construction loan to a commercial loan. The Visibility criterion is even more important to the commercial/retail component of the proposed project. The potential users/business types for the commercial/retail component of the project consist of restaurants, banks, ABC stores, convenience stores, small shopping centers, indoor recreation, retail stores, wellness centers, etc. All of these potential uses/businesses rely on visibility from a heavily traveled road for exposure to attract customers/patrons. Visibility is key to the success for any type of business that ultimately occupy the commercial/retail component of the project. It should be noted that the Town of Cary has a sign ordinance (Chapter 9 of the Land Development Ordinance) that has restrictions on the location, size, and height of signage. The sign ordinance prohibits signs in the ROW, and also requires signs for multifamily developments be no more than 42" in height and no more than 32 sf in area. As an example, 32 sf sign would be an 8' long x 4' tall sign, which cannot be higher than 42" off the ground and must be located outside of the ROW. This results in small signage for the apartment complex and commercial/retail businesses, making visibility from a heavily travelled road even more important for the ability to quickly lease the apartment complex and success of the commercial/retail businesses within the development. 4. Utilities - Access to existing utilities (water/sewer) adjacent to or within 0.25 miles to the site to avoid additional construction costs for bringing utilities to the site from long distances. The general cost to construct a water main is approximately $160/LF and the general cost to construct a gravity sewer line is approximately $455/LF, with some variability in cost depending on the size and type of pipe used. 5. Zoning - Existing zoning allowing for multifamily, or ability to achieve favorable rezoning by municipality to minimize risk of substantial investment in failed rezoning effort. 6. Parking Requirements - Preferably located in sub-market/municipality supporting surface parking, with no structured parking (parking deck) required to minimize construction/infrastructure costs. In the event that structured parking is required due to site size and municipal requirements, site must be located in an area supporting higher rent and density to offset structured parking costs. 7. Aquatic Resources - The preferred site would have minimal impacts to wetlands and streams. Not all sites could be delineated before property acquisition due to the inability to place the site under contract, or the site being deemed unsuitable based on failure to 219 Station Road, Suite 101 1 Wilmington, NC 28405 t: 910.256.9277 1 www.withersravenel.com 1 License No. F-1479 Asheville 1 Cary 1 Charlotte 1 Greensboro 1 Lumberton 1 Pittsboro 1 Raleigh 1 Southern Pines 1 Wilmington 1110 WithersRavenel our People. Your Success. meet key site selection criteria the due diligence investigation halted. For those sites that were unable to be evaluated by WR with an actual field review/delineation, quantity and potential impacts to aquatic resources were based on best desktop review utilizing best available data including Wake County GIS data, USGS Quads, Wake County Soil Survey, and professional experience/knowledge of the general area. 8. Proximity to FEMA Floodplain - Building within the FEMA 100-year floodplain is undesirable. A site with enough buildable areas outside the designated 100-year floodplain is preferred.

Your Success. Alternative Site 1 - Alston Avenue This site is a four parcel assemblage (PINs: 0736019838, 0736111742, 0736117574 & 0736213153) totaling approximately 22 acres located at 2110 Alston Avenue. The site is accessed from Alston Avenue and has approximately 2,300 LF of frontage along Alston Avenue and approximately 320 LF of frontage along O'Kelly Chapel Road. The applicant evaluated Alternative Site 1 (Alston Avenue) in 2017 based on site information in Wake County iMaps. 1. The site is approximately 22 acres in total size, which based on a density calculation of 15-20 units per acre could potentially yield 300-500 units. Based on Wake County iMaps, there were five streams and a pond shown on the site. At the time of evaluation, the applicant assumed these features existed and were likely jurisdictional to the USACE/NCDWR, which reduced the total usable area to approximately 17 acres. Based on a density calculation of 15-20 units per acre, the maximum yield would be 320 units. Additionally, the linear nature of the site, required setbacks and designating sufficient area for stormwater management further reduced the usable area for buildings and required parking even further, reducing the realistic unit yield to well below 300 units necessary to be a feasible site. Therefore, this site does not meet the applicant's Site Size/Yield criteria. 2. While a formal grading plan was not completed due to the applicant being unable to place the site under contract, the general topography of the site was anticipated to require import of fill due to the five topographic crenulations and need to fill the pond to create sufficient usable area to meet the unit yield. Therefore, this site does not meet the applicant's Topography criteria. 3. The site is fronted and accessed by Alston Avenue, which is a tertiary dead end road that is not heavily traveled. Additionally, this site has limited visibility from O'Kelly Chapel Road and NC 55 which limits visibility and exposure to prospective residents and prospective patrons to the businesses that would occupy the commercial/retail component of the proposed project. Therefore, this site did not meet the applicant's Visibility criteria. 4. The site has access to an existing 14" sewer force main along Alston Avenue and an existing 16" water main along O'Kelly Chapel Road and therefore meets the applicant's Utilities criteria. Please note that the utilities depicted within the site on the Cary utilities exhibit are proposed as part of the approved development for this site and do not currently exist. 5. This site currently has both R40 and MXD zoning and would require rezoning. Favorable rezoning was anticipated based on guidelines provided by the Alston Regional Activity Center Plan and therefore there was minimal risk of a failed rezoning effort. Therefore, this site meets the client's Zoning criteria. 6. Surface parking would be allowed at this site and therefore meets the applicant's Parking Requirements criteria. 7. Based on Wake County iMaps at the time of the applicant's evaluation of this site, there were five streams and a pond shown on the site which the applicant assumed existed and were likely jurisdictional to the USACE/NCDWR. The initial due diligence evaluation determined that development of this site would require approximately 1,550 LF of stream impacts and 1.0 acre of pond impacts in order provide -20 acres of usable area to yield 300-500 units. Therefore, development of this site for the proposed project would result in greater impacts than the 219 Station Road, Suite 101 1 Wilmington, NC 28405 t: 910.256.9277 1 www.withersravenel.com 1 License No. F-1479 Asheville 1 Cary 1 Charlotte 1 Greensboro 1 Lumberton 1 Pittsboro 1 Raleigh 1 Southern Pines 1 Wilmington :WiLhersRavenel Cur People.

Alternative Site 2 - Green Level West Road This site consisted of one ±29.38 acre parcel (PIN: 0734218279) located in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Green Level West Road and 1-540. The site is accessed from Green Level West Road and set back approximately 800 LF from Green Level West Road. The site has approximately 2,200 LF of frontage along 1-540 and the Green Level West Rd exit ramp (Exit 62). The site consists entirely of undeveloped forest land. Based on preliminary desktop evaluation by WR, the site contains three streams which are subject to 50' riparian buffers, one of which is subject to 100' Town of Cary Urban Transition Buffers, as well as significant wetlands along each of the streams. 1. The site is ±29.38 acres in total size. Based on the preliminary desktop evaluation completed by WR, there are three buffered streams and significant wetlands located within the three topographic crenulations and therefore the site was anticipated to yield approximately 20 acres of usable uplands. A simple density calculation determined that the site could potentially yield between 300-400 units. The 20 acres of usable uplands is separated into three different upland areas by the onsite buffered streams. The configuration of the separated upland areas would have resulted in separated pods of development, creating design issues to provide enough buildings for the required minimum 300 units and provide adequate parking and stormwater management for a feasible site. The applicant determined that this site was unable to yield the minimum 300 units and therefore this site does not meet the applicants Site Size/Yield criteria. 2. General topography of the site is extremely steep, with elevations ranging from 348' to 296' in elevation. Initial assessments for potential grading determined that this site would not be a balanced site for cut/fill and therefore did not meet the applicant's Topography criteria. 3. The site does not have any visibility from Green Level West Road due to being located 800 LF north of Green Level West Road within no frontage and access through a small driveway from Green Level West Road. The lack of visibility from Green Level West Road, from which the site is accessed, would result in commuters on Green Level West Road not being able to see the apartment buildings or commercial/retail businesses within the development. Therefore, the apartment complex and commercial/retail businesses within the development would have to rely on signage being the primary draw for potential residents/patrons. It should be noted that the Town of Cary has a sign ordinance (Chapter 9 of the Land Development Ordinance) that has restrictions on the location, size, and height of signage. The sign ordinance prohibits signs in the ROW, and also requires signs for multifamily developments be no more than 42" in height and no more than 32 sf in area. As an example, 32 sf sign would be an 8' long x 4' tall sign, which cannot be higher than 42" off the ground and located outside of the ROW of Green Level West Road. Due to the lack of visibility from Green Level West Road, the ability of passersby to become aware of the apartment complex or commercial/retail businesses within the development would rely solely on a relatively small, short sign located beyond the ROW of Green Level West Road. Additionally, the site only has limited visibility from 1-540 due to trees growing within the ROW. 219 Station Road, Suite 101 1 Wilmington, NC 28405 t: 910.256.9277 1 www.withersravenel.com 1 License No. F-1479 Asheville 1 Cary 1 Charlotte 1 Greensboro 1 Lumberton 1 Pittsboro 1 Raleigh 1 Southern Pines 1 Wilmington 1110 WithersRavenel our People. Your Success. The lack of visibility from Green Level West Road would affect the ability for the apartment complex to quickly lease to a high occupancy rate and would have a significant impact on the success of commercial/retail businesses within the development. Therefore, this site does not meet the applicant's Visibility criteria. 4. The site does not have any existing water or sewer utilities within or immediately adjacent. There is an existing 30" gravity sewer main located approximately 1,100 LF west of the site which is within the 0.25-mile feasible site criteria. While there is a proposed 12" water main near the site along Green Level West Road, the closest existing active water main is a 20" water main along Green Level Church Road, approximately 5,000 LF west of the site which is beyond the applicant's 0.25 mile criteria for a feasible site. In order to develop this site, the applicant would be responsible for cost of constructing these utilities to the site. Based on the applicant's discussion with their contractors, construction of the water main to the site would be $800,000 ($160/LF x 5,000 LF) and construction of the gravity sewer line to the site would be $500,000 ($455/LF x 1,100 LF). This represents a total cost of $1.3 million to bring utilities to Alternative Site 3. This is a substantial additional cost which renders this site financially unfeasible and therefore this site does not meet the applicant's Utilities criteria. 5. This site is currently zoned as R40 and would require rezoning. After initial conversations with applicable elected officials and planning staff regarding the future land use map for the area, it became apparent that the required zoning would be extensive, with limited opportunity for the property to be rezoned. The risk of substantial investment in a failed rezoning effort was too high for this site to be considered feasible, therefore this site did not meet the applicant's Zoning criteria. 6. Surface parking would be allowed at this site. However due to site constraints the ability to provide sufficient surface parking was estimated to be unachievable, meaning that structured parking (parking deck) would be required. The site could not yield enough units to offset significant costs associated with structured parking and therefore did not meet the applicant's Parking Requirements criteria. 7. Based on preliminary desktop evaluation by WR, the site contains three streams which are subject to 50' riparian buffers, one of which is subject to 100' Town of Cary Urban Transition Buffers, as well as significant wetlands along each of the streams. Due to the location of the streams and wetlands, two road crossings through the southern and central stream and wetlands. Additionally, the northern stream and northernmost wetland would need to be impacted in order to provide continuity with the eastern pocket of uplands in order to create enough developable area to get close to the minimum yield of 300 units. It is anticipated that in order for this site to be feasible, approximately 700 LF of stream impacts and 0.5 acres of wetland impacts would be required, which is comparable to the preferred alternative. However, the ability to obtain USACE and NCDWR authorizations to impact the northern stream and riparian buffers for construction of apartment buildings and parking was not realistic and therefore this site did not meet the applicant's Aquatic Resources criteria. 9. This site does not contain a mapped FEMA 100-year floodplain and therefore meets the applicant's Floodplain criteria. 219 Station Road, Suite 101 1 Wilmington, NC 28405 t: 910.256.9277 1 www.withersravenel.com 1 License No. F-1479 Asheville 1 Cary 1 Charlotte 1 Greensboro 1 Lumberton 1 Pittsboro 1 Raleigh 1 Southern Pines 1 Wilmington 1110 WithersRavenel 1110 our People.

Preferred Alternative - Twyla Road (Cary) The Preferred Alternative (Proposed Legacy -Cary) is ±36.42 acres in size and consists of an assemblage of thirteen (13) parcels (PINs: 735203489, 735203991, 735217059, 735209946, 735209740, 735209448, 735209159, 734392943, 734390881, 734390677, 734297619, 734294615, 734294807) located at 1112 Twyla Road. The site is primarily forested and contains several single family dwellings which have been vacated. The project site contains five streams, including Panther Creek, which all drain to Panther Creek and ultimately Jordan Lake. Additionally, the project site contains eleven (11) headwater forest wetlands. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (SAW-2018-02111) was issued by the USACE on 12/15/2021 approving the delineation. Three of the streams (Streams 1, 2 & 5) are subject to both 50' Jordan Lake Riparian Buffers and 100' Town of Cary Urban Transition Buffers. Site Size/Conditions 1. The site is ±36.42-acres in total size. Onsite constraints including wetlands, streams, 50' Jordan Lake Riparian Buffers and 100' Town of Cary Urban Transition Buffers reduce the total developable upland area to approximately 25 acres. The ±25-acres of developable uplands consist of two separate areas: an ±17-acre area east of Twyla Road and an ±8-acre area west of Twyla Road. The site is further constrained by the requirement to extend the existing stub of Stockwell Lane to Twyla Road, as well as improve Twyla Road to meet Town design standards and relocate the connection to Morrisville Parkway to the existing traffic circle. Based on the size and configuration of the usable uplands, the preferred site yields a total of 390 units with enough area to provide surface parking and stormwater management. Therefore, the preferred site meets the applicant's Site Size/Yield criteria. 2. The general topography of the site ranges from 342' to 292'. The engineering evaluation of the site grading determined that this site would be balanced, with no major import or export of fill necessary and therefore meets the applicant's Topography criteria. 3. The site has frontage Morrisville Parkway which is a heavily traveled road providing ample visibility for prospective residents and commercial/retail business patrons which meets the applicant's Visibility criteria. 4. The site has access to an existing 12" gravity sewer line immediately adjacent to the north and an existing 8" water main located within Stockwell Lane to the east and therefore meets the applicant's Utilities criteria. 5. This site is currently zoned as PDD Major which is the appropriate zoning for the proposed project and therefore meets the applicant's Zoning criteria. 6. Surface parking is allowed at this site which meets the applicant's Required Parking criteria. 7. This site contains five streams, including Panther Creek, and eleven (11) headwater forest wetlands. The proposed project will result in 1,087 LF of permanent stream impacts and 0.442 acres of permanent wetland impacts, most of which are necessary for the construction of the Stockwell Lane extension and improvements to Twyla Road, which is the primary access to the site. The required impacts to develop this site are less than Alternative 1 (Alston Ave) and comparable to Alternative 2 (Green Level West Road). The majority of the stream impacts (793 LF) will occur to Stream 1 for improvements to Twyla Road to match the existing elevation 219 Station Road, Suite 101 I Wilmington, NC 28405 t: 910.256.9277 1 www.withersravenel.com 1 License No. F-1479 Asheville 1 Cary 1 Charlotte 1 Greensboro 1 Lumberton 1 Pittsboro 1 Raleigh 1 Southern Pines 1 Wilmington 1110 WithersRavenel 1110 our People. Your Success. of Morrisville Parkway. Stream 1 was historically channelized during construction of Twyla Road and has "Low" function based on NCSAM. Additionally, Stream 2 experiences severe erosion due to excessive runoff from Morrisville Parkway and has "Low" function based on NCSAM. The quantity of impact was minimized to the extent practical and will not result in an overall significant loss of aquatic function within the basin. Therefore, the preferred alternative meets the applicant's Aquatic Resources criteria. 9. This site contains an area of mapped FEMA 100-year floodplain in the northeastern corner of the site.

Your Success. C. Onsite Alternatives Analysis The project was evaluated for alternative layouts and design in an effort to minimize impacts to wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers. Site constraints on design include the onsite wetlands and streams, 50' Jordan Lake Riparian Buffers and 100' Town of Cary Urban Transition Buffers, which limits the configuration of the project design while still allowing for a functional and feasible project. The proposed site plan maximizes the use of onsite uplands for construction of all buildings, parking, and stormwater treatment. The majority of proposed impacts are for roads necessary to provide access to the project. The design of the Stockwell Lane extension was constrained due to the existing stub within the Fryars Gate subdivision to the east. Therefore, the alignment of the Stockwell Lane extension across Wetland J and Streams 2 & 3 could not be modified and therefore there is no alternative for the impacts associated within this crossing. The primary access to the proposed Legacy Cary development will be Twyla Road from Morrisville Parkway. The existing connection of Twyla Road to Morrisville Parkway will be relocated to the traffic circle because the existing intersection is too close to the traffic circle to meet NCDOT separation requirements. Also, relocating Twyla Road to connect to the traffic circle provides safer conditions for vehicles entering and leaving Twyla Road. The following alternative designs for Twyla Road were explored: 1. Relocation of Twyla Road to the East - abandoning the existing alignment of Twyla Road and building a new road to the east would avoid impacts to Stream 1. However, this would have further reduced the developable area within the eastern portion of the site and would have resulted in the elimination of Buildings 2 & 3 (see attached Overall Site Plan), resulting in a loss of 138 units. Therefore, the project would have only yielded 252 units, which is less than the applicant's criteria of 300-500 units and therefore this was not a feasible alternative. 2. Relocation of Twyla Road to the West - abandoning the existing alignment of Twyla Road and constructing a new road to the west of the current location would have avoided 253 LF of impacts to the upper reach of Stream 1 (Impact S1) upstream of the culvert beneath Twyla Road but would have still resulted in 147 LF of impacts (Impact S2) to the lower reach of Stream 1 below the culvert beneath Twyla Road. While this alignment would significantly reduce impacts to Stream 1, it would have required relocations of Twyla Road through the parcel owned by the Town of Cary (PIN: 0735203193). Additionally, this alternative alignment would have resulted in a loss of approximately 30 parking spaces within the proposed parking lot on the west side of Twyla Road. The site as designed meets the minimum parking spaces required by the Town of Cary. The loss of parking spaces for this alternative alignment would result in the project not meeting Town of Cary's parking requirements and units would have to be eliminated. Therefore, the loss of parking and buildings would render the project unable to meet the client's project purpose, need and feasibility, and therefore this was not a feasible alternative. 3. Use of Retaining Walls to Stabilize Road Fill - Twyla Road will be a public road and is required to be improved to meet Town of Cary design standards for a public roadway and 219 Station Road, Suite 101 1 Wilmington, NC 28405 t: 910.256.9277 1 www.withersravenel.com 1 License No. F-1479 Asheville 1 Cary 1 Charlotte 1 Greensboro 1 Lumberton 1 Pittsboro 1 Raleigh 1 Southern Pines 1 Wilmington 1110 WithersRavenel our People. Your Success. will have a 60' ROW. Twyla Road must be widened and raised 33 feet in elevation to match the existing elevation of Morrisville Parkway traffic circle (350' elevation) and transition the road to natural grade at the northern cul-de-sac (282' elevation). The use of retaining walls to stabilize road fill was explored during the design of the Twyla Road improvements. As shown in the attached Twyla Road Cross -Section Details, even with the use of retaining walls varying in height from 7-10 feet, the retaining wall would need to be located beyond Stream 1 to provide the required width and minimum slope of the road shoulder. Due to the substantial cost of retaining walls of this size and length with no minimization of impacts, retaining walls were not considered a feasible alternative. 4. Relocation of Stream 1 On Either Side of Twyla Road - Relocation of Stream 1 to the west side of the improved Twyla Road is not feasible onsite alternative because it would require the stream to be relocated onto a parcel not owned by the applicant (PIN: 0735203193). If Stream 1 were relocated to the west side of Twyla Road, the 50' Jordan Lake Riparian Buffers and 100' Town of Cary Urban Transition Buffers would encumber most of this parcel, rendering the parcel unusable. Additionally, relocation of Stream 1 to the west would result in only short sections of open channel, with the majority of the stream still being piped to allow for construction of the western parking area and SCM. Therefore, the relocated portions of Stream 1 would have little functional value, thereby not resulting in any significant minimization of impacts to Stream 1, and the functional value of Stream 1 is better served through provision of mitigation in a regionally significant mitigation site. Relocation of Stream 1 to the east side of the improved Twyla Road is not a feasible onsite alternative because the 50' Jordan Lake Buffers and 100' Town of Cary Urban Transition Buffers would be pushed further into the eastern portion of the project site. This would greatly reduce the developable area within the eastern portion of the project site, resulting in the elimination of several buildings and parking which would reduce the total unit yield to well below the 300 unit minimum necessary for the project to be feasible. 5. Bridging of Stockwell Lane Extension - Based on information provided by WithersRavenel engineers familiar with the cost of bridge construction, the general cost for construction of a two-lane concrete bridge is approximately $8,000/LF. Bridging the Stockwell Lane extension to avoid impacts to Streams 2 & 3 would require a 250 LF bridge to connect to the existing Stockwell Lane road stub and span the entirety Streams 2 & 3 to avoid impacts. The approximate cost of the bridge would be $2 million. There would also be additional costs resulting from having to hire a bridge contractor to construct the bridge. Please note the proposed project has not been issued for bid, so the actual cost of construction of the Stockwell Lane as proposed (traditional culverted road) is not known at this time. However, based on industry standard costs for similar roadways, the approximate cost of construction is $250/LF. Construction of this same 250 LF section of Stockwell Lane is approximately $62,500. Also, assuming $100,000 cost for necessary additional fill and $200,000 for the approximate cost of the two culverts, the total approximate cost for construction of Stockwell Lane as a traditional culverted road would be around $362,500. The cost of a bridge is over 5 times higher than the cost of a 219 Station Road, Suite 101 I Wilmington, NC 28405 t: 910.256.9277 I www.withersravenel.com I License No. F-1479 Asheville I Cary I Charlotte I Greensboro I Lumberton I Pittsboro I Raleigh I Southern Pines I Wilmington 1110 WithersRavenel 1110 our People. Your Success. traditional culverted road. Therefore, bridging the Stockwell Lane extension is not a practicable onsite alternative due to the $2 million cost. 6. Bridging of Twyla Road - Based on information provided by WithersRavenel engineers familiar with the cost of bridge construction, the general cost for construction of a two- lane concrete bridge is approximately $8,000/LF. In order to utilize a bridge for the Twyla Road improvements, a 950 LF bridge would be required to avoid impacts to Stream 1, which would cost approximately $7.6 million. This design would also result in Stream 1 being located beneath the bridge for the entire length of the bridge, resulting in secondary impacts such as shading. The cost of construction of the improvements to Twyla Road at the $250/LF is approximately $237,500. Also, assuming $300,000 cost for bringing in additional fill to construct the road, the total approximate cost for construction of Twyla Road as a traditional road would be around $537,500. The cost of a bridge is 14 times higher than the cost of a traditional road. Therefore, bridging the Twyla Road is not a practicable onsite alternative due to the $7.6 million cost. The proposed design represents the minimization of impacts to wetlands and streams to the maximum extent practicable while maintaining a feasible project that meets the applicant's project purpose and need. D. No Action/No Permit Alternative If the USACE opted to not issue the permit for this project as proposed, there would continue to be a deficit of alternative housing options within the Town of Cary where the cost to purchase housing is extremely difficult due to high real estate values. Therefore, the applicant's purpose and need would not be met and therefore a No Action/No Permit Alternative is not a viable alternative. 219 Station Road, Suite 101 1 Wilmington, NC 28405 t: 910.256.9277 1 www.withersravenel.com 1 License No. F-1479 Asheville 1 Cary 1 Charlotte 1 Greensboro 1 Lumberton 1 Pittsboro 1 Raleigh 1 Southern Pines 1 Wilmington ::WithersRavenel Our People.

Roadway improvements associated with this project are proposed along Twyla Road and the extension of Stockwell Lane. The project area is located at 1112 Twyla Road, north of Morrisville Parkway in Cary, Wake County, North Carolina. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District (Corps) advertised your proposal by public notice dated April 12, 2022. Comments in response to the notice were received from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR), North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (NCDNCR), U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and the Town of Cary (TOC). The comments received are enclosed for your information and to provide you with the opportunity to address any of the stated concerns. Additionally, please provide written responses to the comments from NCDWR and the TOC. Specifically, please address the TOC concerns regarding your stated project purpose and how affordable rental workforce housing would be achieved. Please address NCDWR's concerns regarding affordable housing, site selection criteria, and project feasibility referencing financials for each project alternative in comparison to the preferred alternative. Please note that the NCDNCR stated that they are not aware of any historic properties that would be affected by the project; and therefore, have no comment on the project as proposed. Furthermore, the NMFS, in a letter dated April 15, 2022, stated that the proposed project would not occur in the vicinity of essential fish habitat (EFH) designated by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, Mid -Atlantic Fishery Management Council, or the NMFS, and that they are neither supportive of nor in opposition to authorization of the proposed work. Further, on February 6, 1990, the Department of the Army (DA) and the EPA signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging, practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to reduce impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensation for remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. To enable us to process your application, in compliance with the MOA, we request that you provide the following additional information: A. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging, practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least damaging to water or wetland areas. i. The Corps disagrees with your stated Purpose and Need, given that the term "affordable housing" is not defined. Please note that the Corps makes the final determination regarding Basic and Overall Purpose and Need for a project. Based on your application, we have determined the Purpose and Need of your project to be the following: Basic: To construct a mixed -use, multifamily apartment complex and commercial/retail development. Overall: To construct a mixed -use multifamily apartment complex and commercial/retail development to meet the existing housing demand in Town of Cary and Wake County. ii. For the off -site alternatives analysis, several siting criteria presented are not adequately justified in the application: a. The terms "Size/Yield" were used but not adequately explained, and it is unclear what the size requirements are for potentially smaller sites that may use a parking deck to minimize impacts. b. "Access" is used as a siting criterion; however, it is not clear that, to be a practicable alternative, a multifamily housing and commercial development must be located within'/2 mile of an interstate. -2- c. "Visibility" is used as a siting criterion; however, this criterion seems restrictive for the proposed project as it is not measurable. Please elaborate on the required distance for visibility from major roads and provide that supporting documentation. d. "Utilities" is used as a siting criterion; however, this criterion does not provide any information pertaining to differences to provide utilities to all alternatives, if needed. A cost comparison should be provided for each alternative. e. If 20 acres of developable upland is required for the proposed project, please explain why off -site areas that offered less than 20 acres of developable upland were assessed? This basic requirement should be met for all alternatives for them to be considered. f. The Corps is interested in additional information referencing Alternative Site 1 — Alston Avenue, as it appears this would be the least environmentally damaging alternative resulting in no impacts to waters of the US. Please reevaluate and address the Site Selection Criteria. Specifically, please explain if site size requirements would be met if a parking deck were used for the site. Also, please provide a cost estimate to import fill to the site. B. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practicable steps to minimize losses of Waters of the U.S., including wetlands. Please indicate all that you have done, especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts. i. Please provide additional information regarding the Stockwell Lane extension. Specifically, could the Stockwell Lane extension be used as primary access for the proposed development, thereby eliminating the need to relocate Twyla Road? ii. Could additional avoidance and minimization be achieved by relocating Stream 1 and/or Stream 2 on either side of Twyla Road? -3- iii. Regarding the Twyla Road improvements and Stockwell Lane extension, could additional avoidance and minimization of streams and wetlands be achieved by bridging? iv. Please confirm that wetland impacts are not proposed for Wetland D. If so, please update the site application and plan sheets accordingly. Additionally, the following items must be resolved prior to continuing to process your permit request: 1) Please copy the Corps on your response to NCDWR's Request for Additional Information letter dated May 11, 2022. 2) Please note that responses to the questions above may prompt additional information requests to allow full evaluation of the proposed project. The above requested information is essential to the expeditious processing of your application; please forward this information to us within 30 days of your receipt of this letter.

The Division has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until all of the following information is received: 1. If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requests a response to any comments received as a result of the Public Notice, please provide the Division with a copy of your response to the USACE. 2. The application states that Twyla Rd is required to be constructed to the northern cul-de-sac. Please provide further justification for the need for road improvements beyond the traffic circle at the entrance into Legacy Cary. It is not evident that the impacts associated with this portion of the road are necessary. 3. Will these roadways be conveyed to the Town upon completion? Please clarify. 4. Please clarify how stormwater will be collected and treated from the improved Twyla Rd and the new portion of Stockwell Lane. Please note that if the road is to become a publicly maintained roadway then stormwater from the roadway must be treated in accordance with regulations applicable to linear transportation facilities. If the road, or any portion thereof, will not be maintained by the Town or NCDOT in the future then all stormwater from the roadway must be treated as part of the development. 5. The application states that Stream 2 is an intermittent channel, however Figure 6 indicates that the stream is Perennial. Please clarify. Based on remote mapping it appears that Stream 2 is sufficiently large to be classified as Perennial throughout the project limits. 6. Please provide NCDWR stream forms to support the classification of Streams 1 and 3 as intermittent streams/stream segments.

Please clarify if Wetland K has been delineated by the USACE. Figure 6 and Wetland Impact maps show Wetland K, however the figure attached to the USACE JD does not include a wetland at this location. 8. The Impact maps and PCN application do not appear to include impacts to Wetland D however the proposed site plan appears to eliminate Wetland D. 9. Impacts to Wetland E appears to be for the purpose of "future commercial use". In order to adequately document Avoidance and Minimization, please provide a specific site plan for this development area. It appears that impacts to this wetland could be minimized by reducing the fill area slightly which would still provide for a sufficient area for future commercial use. 10. The application states that further avoidance and minimization cannot accomplished because it would cause a loss in area to provide stormwater control measure (SCM). While the Division recognizes the need for the project to provide for property stormwater management, there are wide variety of treatment options for meeting stormwater requirements, including providing multiple smaller SCMs, SCMs that can be integrated into greenspace, and/or require smaller acreage. Please either provide further justification for this statement or remove it from the onsite alternative analysis. 11. Please clarify why the culvert for Stream 3 is proposed to be installed at a 2% slope to reduce outlet velocity, however the culvert for Stream 2 is proposed for a 2.83% slope. Given that Stream 3 starts under the roadway fill, it is unclear what surface flow would be generating increased velocity. 12. Please provide a restoration plan detail and vegetation planting plan for the temporary impact areas. 13. The Division questions whether Stream 4 will continue to function at the same level upon construction of Stockwell Lane. It appears to be a stream that is formed by flow from the upslope wetland. Construction of Stockwell Lane will divert most of the flow in the area into the two culverts, therefore bypassing Stream 4, starving its hydrology, and reducing its function. 14. Please clarify how the riprap dissipators will be installed such that the remainder of Wetland J below the culverts will continue to function. The Division is concerned that excavation of the area to install the culverts and the large dissipators will cause significant changes to the hydrology of the wetland in this area. Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the proper consideration of the application. Please respond in writing within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter by submitting all of the above requested information through this link: https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/Supplemental-Information-Form (note the DWR# requested on the link is referenced above). If all of the requested information is not received within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter, the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be denied as incomplete. The denial of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete application package and the appropriate fee.
