Good afternoon Arnie,
First of all, it's nice to "meet" you! We forwarded your comments to our engineering team and received the following
information and exhibit.
Completely avoiding impacts to Wetland F would entail not only omitting the 4 parking spots but also the drive aisle and
drive approach for the associated parking garage. This would make the garage no longer accessible, meaning that the
garage itself would need to be removed. The garage is required to be in that location to create screening because
ordinance requires buildings to be within a build to zone of 0-25' of a public street.
Ultimately, preserving that piece of the wetland would mean the entire parking area of 30+ parking spaces would need
to be removed, in which case we would no longer meet minimum parking requirements and we would need to start
removing units from the development which could easily jeopardize the overall project viability. Note that if the entirety
of Wetland F were proposed to be impacted, the proposed cumulative project impacts would still be well within NWP
thresholds and below mitigation thresholds.
To offset for the proposed impacts, the site engineers have avoided and minimized to the extent practicable based on
site conditions. The proposed plans demonstrated avoidance and minimization by not impacting 96% of onsite streams
and 66% of onsite wetlands. The engineers have updated the plans to maintain hydrology to the remaining wetland and
avoid additional indirect impacts as shown on the attached updated exhibit sheet.
Thank you and please let me know if you have additional questions,
Amber

Daniel,
I have a question from my review of DWR # 20230633 Ver 1. Is there a way we can avoid Wetland F by removing the 4
parking spaces in that area (Photograph 1). Having those parking spaces impacting Wetland F and the surrounding
impervious areas may cause permanent loss to the entirety of Wetland F (Wetland F labeled as Wetland D in Site Plan
and Impact areas map page 25 of PCN, WD2.1). See photograph 2 that shows the topography of how the water would
flow through that area which has allowed for Wetland F. Do you have a file that can show me the pre and post -
drainage area?

It's on our list and near the top, so we should be getting to it in the near future. I thin Amie will be working on this
one.

Hi Andrew,
We just wanted to check in again on this project - it was submitted on April 28th and we've received notice
that it was received and fee paid, but otherwise haven;t heard back since. We just wanted to make sure this
was in your queue and, if possible, check the status in general so we can relay some feedback to the client. If
you have any info we'd be obliged.
Thanks,
Daniel
