This tract is landlocked except for access from roads within the existing Landfall Subdivision. The only way to develop the site is to incorporate it into Landfall. The applicant plans to build forty-eight lots within the site, which is located at the intersection of Arboretum Drive and South Moorings Drive. Several wetland fingers need to be crossed in order to gain access to uplands. EXISTING CONDITIONS The 40.5-acre project site is located in Wilmington, NC off of Arboretum Drive in New Hanover County, NC (Figures 1 & 2). According to the New Hanover County Generalized Soil Survey, the site consists of Johnston loam, Murville fine sand, Craven fine sandy loam, Onslow loamy fine sand, Rains fine sandy loam, Kenansville fine sand, Seagate fine sand, and Torhunta loamy fine sand soil types (Figure 3). Land use to the north and east of the tract is-residential and consists of the Landfall Subdivision. A forested area that has been dedicated as a conservation area by Landfall exists south of the site (Figure 4). An unnamed tributary of Howe Creek forms the western property boundary and several fingers of this creek extend across the tract, forming approximately 8.55 acres of freshwater wetlands within the tract. The site is currently undeveloped and forested. Uplands support longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), red bay (Persea palustris), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), blueberry (Vaccinium crassifolium), and wiregrass (Aristida stricta). Wetlands within the tract consist of fingers of the unnamed tributary of Howe Creek. The upper reaches support red maple (Ater rubrum), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), loblolly pine (P. taeda) and wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera). The creek along the western property boundary contains standing water and supports bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) and black gum (Nyssa sylvatica) trees. The presence of any plant or animal species is determined by the availability and abundance of suitable habitat. Habitat with the potential for supporting federally listed threatened or endangered species was identified by reviewing natural resource databases, aerial photographs, soils maps, and topographic maps of the property and by walking throughout the project area. A search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program database was conducted to determine whether any state or federally listed rare species have previously been observed within or near the project area. This search found no known record of rare species within the project site, but located four records .within aone-mile radius . of the site. Two rare plants were observed approximately 1000 feet southwest of the site. The snowy orchid (Platanthera nivea; state-listed Threatened) was observed in 1989 and the twisted-leaf goldenrod (Solidago tortifolia; state-listed Significantly Rare) was observed in 1964. Two rare animals were also observed. The chicken turtle (Dei~ochelys reticularia; state-listed Significantly Rare) was noted approximately one mile south of the site and the Carolina diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin centrata; state-listed Species of Concern) was observed one mile east of the site On January 10, 2006, staff of Land Management Group, Inc. evaluated the tract for its potential to support federally-listed threatened or endangered species (Table 1). No federally protected species were observed within the site. Uplands within the tract are forested and contain some fairly large loblolly pine trees. However, the uplands are densely vegetated and do not contain appropriate habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker, which requires large stands of mature pine trees in which to nest and forage. Wetlands within the tract are thickly vegetated and would not support rare plant species, such as Cooley's meadowrue and rough-leaf loosestrife. Although the western property boundary consists of a tributary to Howe Creek, this feature is fairly small and would not provide suitable habitat for the American alligator or the shortnose sturgeon. Table 1.Federally-listed endangered and threatened species known to occur in New Hanover County, NC, excludine coastal and marine species. Common Name "Scientific Name Status Animals American alligator Alli ator mississi iensis T(S/A) Red-cockaded woodpecker .

Threatened A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range:'' T(S/A) Threatened due to similarity of appearance - a species that is threatened due to similarity of appearance with other rare species and is listed for its protection. ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS The alternatives evaluated include. a no-action alternative, off-site alternatives, on-site alternative site layouts, and the preferred project. No-Action Alternative The no-action alternative would keep the site in its current, undeveloped condition and would keep Landfall from expanding its subdivision into this area. The no-action alternative is not considered feasible for several reasons. Wilmington is experiencing rapid growth. It would leave approximately 40.5 acres of land. undeveloped. This would cost the current owner of the tract approximately $4,000,000 in potential revenue. Without annexing the tract into Landfall, the tract would be unbuildable since there are no other ways to access the site. The inability to expand development within this tract of land would be a significant loss of return for the applicant and a loss of upscale housing for the community. Alternate Sites The proposed project will become an expansion of the existing Landfall Subdivision. According to its regulations, Landfall can only annex those tracts of land that have their sole access from Landfall. Based on these rules, the off-site alternatives evaluated were adjacent, undeveloped tracts without alternate access. Only one tract, meeting these criteria was located. Grant Farm Tracts These three tracts encompass 26.02 acres and are located on the north side of Arboretum Drive, west of Pembroke Jones Lake (Figure 5). The tracts currently contain one residence and farm land. Wetlands likely exist on the northern part of the property, where 3 Howe Creek forms the border. Landfall has attempted to purchase the tract from its owners, Adair and Louise Graham, but they are not willing to sell. Therefore, the development of this site by Landfall is not considered a feasible alternative. On-site Alternatives Two on-site alternatives were evaluated. The first option is an alternate roadway pattern that would stop before crossing any wetlands. The second is developing uplands within the entire site by bridging all of the wetland crossings. 1. Alternate Roadway Pattern An alternate roadway pattern was evaluated in which wetlands were not crossed (Figure 6). This site plan allows the development of thirty-two lots. A short cul-de-sac off of Arboretum Drive would provide access to lots # 1 through # 17 and the existing Arboretum Drive would provide access to lots #18 through #32. In addition, one very large lot (#8) would be entered from South Moorings Drive. This alternative would develop sixteen fewer lots than the preferred alternative, which would be a loss of approximately $2,786,000 dollars (Figure 7). Because of this financial loss, this site plan is not considered a viable alternative. 2. Bridging Wetlands The applicant evaluated the potential to develop forty-eight lots within the site and cross wetlands by constructing bridges. In general, bridges are not considered to be a wetland impact by the Corps and DWQ and could provide a mechanism to avoid any wetland impacts within the tract. Four bridges would need to be constructed to NC DOT standards, which would cost approximately $1,000,000 total (Figure 8). In addition, two smaller bridges would be needed for driveway crossings in Lots #10 and #18, which would cost approximately $250,000. Because of this cost, this option is not economically feasible. Preferred Project The preferred project consists of constructing forty-eight lots within the property and building two roads; one narrow private drive that would parallel Arboretum Drive and would provide access to Lots #34 through #48 (Figure 9). The other road has a 50' right-of way and would extend from Arboretum Drive to South Moorings Drive and provide access to Lots #1 through #33. This road 4 would require crossing four wetland fingers, one of which is a stream as well. Culverts will be installed at the wetland crossings (Figure 10). Utilities would also be extended into this area, within the road right-of--way. Additionally, two driveway crossings would be needed within Lots #10 and #18. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The proposed project would impact 0.295 acre of 404 wetlands and 72 linear feet of stream (Figures 11 & 12). Secondary impacts to wetlands and water quality could occur during and after construction of the project through erosion and stormwater runoff. -These potential impacts will be minimized by the development and implementation of a Stormwater Plan and a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. These plans will reduce the potential for erosion or runoff into wetlands and other water bodies located off site. It should be noted that a total of 83.5 acres of wetland disturbance has already occurred within the greater Landfall Subdivision. These impacts have been permitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Division of Water Quality, and Division of Coastal Management and the required mitigation has been completed (attached). MITIGATION To mitigate for proposed wetland impacts, restrictive covenants will be recorded on all remaining wetlands within this tract to prohibit any wetland fill beyond what is being requested here. This will protect approximately 8.25 acres of wetlands. In addition, approximately thirty acres of coastal and freshwater wetlands within Landfall will be placed into preservation. Finally, the applicant plans to create at least 0.295 acre of wetlands within an area owned by the Homeowner's Association of Landfall that is located off of Drysdale Drive (Figure 13). The applicant is in the process of developing a complete mitigation plan for this area. 5 01/30/06 09:45 FAX 919 677 8600 PRESTON DEVELOP%ENT CO. 01/27/2006 11:31 9104520060 LANDMANAGENIENT ACx~N'z' AUTHORIZAxXON FORM TO WTIOM IT M,A.Y CONCE,RN': ~ 002 PAGE 02/02 I/we, the undersigned, hereby authorize Land Management Group, lire, to act as our agent in the preparation az~d represe~atation o£ information related to the petmitt application for the Helmsdale project located in 1Vew Hanover County, NC.
