Dear Ms. Karoly,
We received your request for additional information regarding the 401 Certification for Town Hall
Terraces. I have included a brief response to your request below. Your letter asks for the following
information:
1) This office believes that the road labeled as Impact 2 on the plans can be removed or
reconfigured to avoid the impacts to wetlands. Please revise the plans to avoid the impacts.
Response:
The narrow linear wetland is located approximately 250' into the site from its access point at
Airport Boulevard. This wetland traverses the site in an east-west direction, with about 75% of
the land area being on the opposite side of the wetland from its only access point.
Artic% Vll, Section s.8 ofthe Town ofMonisville Subdivision Ordinance states that cul-de-sacs
shall not be more than four hundred fifty feet in length. If the section of roadway crossing
Impact Area 2 were to be deleted, and replaced with a cul-de-sac outside the wetland, then the
remaining roadways and lots throughout the other 75% of the site would be located more than
45o feet from the only means of access. That configuration would therefore not be allowed
under the Town's Subdivision Ordinance. The intent of the design as shown is to minimize the
impacts to the extent practical by crossing only along the narrow linear sections, while trying
to avoid the broader pocket of wetlands located between the two narrow sections.
Given the relatively small amount of wetland impact and the need to provide access
throughout the site consistent with local ordinance, we feel that the design as submitted
represents minimization of impacts to the extent practical. We respectfully request your
consideration of these issues while reviewing the project.
Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
WITHERS &RAVENEL, INC.
