Subject: Request for Additional Information for Mayes Meadow Residential Development -
Mecklenburg County - DWR#20231100
Heath,
The Division has conducted a review of the above noted application and requires additional information to complete our
401 certification review. Please provide the information requested below within 30 days of this email. The Division will
consider the application to be "on hold" until receipt of a complete response.
1. It appears that the proposed within the adjacent conservation easement (utility construction/permanent
easement, community greenway, and stormwater outlet device) would not be in compliance with the
conservation easement requirements of the Upper Rocky Umbrella Mitigation Bank. Please either modify your
project to ensure it meets the terms and conditions of the Conservation Easement, or provide documentation
from the conservation easement holder, Unique Places to Save, that all proposed impacts are allowed within the
easement pursuant to the established deed restrictions.
2. The Division appreciates the efforts made to reduce stream and wetland impacts from the proposed project,
however it appears that a small reduction in lots (approximately 4-6) would allow for further minimization (or
possibly complete avoidance) of impacts to streams B & C and wetland CC. The Division understands the
required location for the proposed Road A, as well as the need for a sufficient fill slope to support the road,
however the addition of lots at this location appear to increase the total impacts to streams and wetlands in this
location beyond that necessary to support Road A. Given the significant number of lots within the overall
project, please provide justification as to why the loss of these few lots would cause the project to no longer be
viable.
Thanks,
Sue Homewood (she/her/hers)
