Subject: Pace Warehouse Mitigation Sender: Bob WILKINSON / CFC52/01 TO: Linda RIPLEY / CFC52/01 Part I. TO: Linda RIPLEY / CFC52/01 Part 2. Dated: 01/10/ at 1019' Contents: 2. Generally, the mitigation plan and notes seem adequate for Preliminary Plan stage. They can be clarified and strengthened with the following: 1. The area which will be disturbed by the Fossil Creek Parkway reallignment should have a note like the ones on the Pace site: "seed slopes to limit of area disturbed by construction...". Also, if some trees and shrubs are disturbed by construction of the reallignment, replacements should be included in the revegetation plans. 2. Expectations may be clarified by requesting a note stating the proposed course of action if acceptable mitigation is found not to work at this location. I should add, with slight reservation, that I believe the proposed mitigation activities will be viable, with appropriate design at the Final Plan Stage. 3. The stream which runs through the lowland portion of the site should be used as an amenity in future phases. Redirecting the flow through the mitigation area is desirable to provide additional moisture for plantings. . The trees have supported redtail hawk and possibly owl nests in the past. If tree removal is timed to coincide with the nesting season, special care should be taken to avoid nest disturbance, or to have the Division of Wildlife relocate the birds. A note to this effect will need to be put on the final plan. End of Item 1.
