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 site currently consists of regrowth areas and undeveloped woodlands. The site is located along Lemon Springs Rd and surrounded by residential development, as well as commercial
development.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
3.75
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
2,399
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose is to construct a single-family residential subdivision with 28 lots connected by two public roads and served by City of Sanford water and sewer.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Construction equipment such as excavators, loaders, dump trucks, and graders will be utilized. The City of Sanford requested two access points to allow for resident ingress/egress,
efficient emergency access, circulation of delivery vehicles, and waste disposal trucks. One access is along Glenwood Road and the other along Lemon Springs Road. The road will have
3:1 fill slope to minimize fill impact utilizing 95 LF - 42" RCP culvert with a 20 LF riprap dissipater. This will allow maintenance to enter along the roadway entrance for mowing, needed
access to the culvert for maintenance and cleaning. The crossing was designed perpendicular to the wetlands/stream. Water and utility lines will be concurrently installed in the road right-
of-way.
Wetlands impacts 2, 3 & 4 are the result of grading associated with building lots 24, 25 & 28 and Pond Impact P1 are the result of grading associated with building lots 20, 21 & 22. The fill
impacts are necessary for level grading of the residential lots to direct stormwater away from the structures and avoid the use of retaining walls, which are a potential safety hazard for
residences. In addition, the City of Sanford requested a greenway trail behind lots 19-24 within the subdivision. The grading was adjusted to the maximum extent practicable to minimize
impacts to wetland resources, while balancing safety within the residential building lots.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The grading was adjusted as much as possible to minimize the fill. The road will have 3:1 fill and there will be a 95 LF - 42" RCP culvert with a 20 LF
riprap dissipater. Regrading within the residential lots are required to create a level building footprint to both the building footprint and positive drainage
away from the structure.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Sediment controls will be in place using 20 LF rip rap dissipater.
