REQUIRED INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED: 1 The wetland and stream report prepared by Wetland Resources Inc. classified the unnamed tributaries of Ravenna Creek (Streams A and B) as intermittent, class III streams. After reviewing the report and doing a field investigation the classification of the stream A appears to be Class II. The buffer required for a !;lass II stream is 50 feet. The Pianning Director may using a Review I reduce the required buffer to maximum 50% with an enhancement pian. To allow for a buffer reduction the stream must have been previously substantial legally altered, this stream appears to meet this criteria. The applicant may provide a 50 foot or a 25 foot enhanced buffer for a Ciass II Stream or have your Biologist provide the City with additionai information on the category rating on this stream. All maps and studies will need to be revised based on the additional information submitted. If a buffer reduction is proposed a enhancement plan must be submitted by your Wetland and Stream Biologist 2. The wetiand that is contiguous to Stream A was defined as a Class III isolated scrub/shrub wetland. This wetland as defined in the Zoning in not an isolated Class III wetland. It is considered to be a riparian Class II wetland. A riparian wetland as defined in the City Zoning Code is those wetlands that generaily occur within a riparian corridor that are c�ntiguous to or have a c� ��g hydrologic connection with th ct�eam la � il rioarian wetlands require a 75 Loot buffer. The Planning Director may using a Review I reduce the required buffer to rnaximum 50% with an enhancement plan. The buffer must have been previously substantial legally altered. The short plat map needs to show the 75 foot required buffer or the a 37.5 foot enhance buffer. If a buffer reduction is proposed a enhancement plan must be submitted by your Wetland and Stream Biologist. The wetland and stream report will need to be revised to include these corrections. 3. The stream and wetland report states: "The hydrology for the stream a�d wetland appears to be supplied by cor�ibination of side slope seepage, springs, surface water runoff, and direct �nfiltration." Given the location of these streams and wetland, the proposed building sites being adjacent to and above these features, there appears to be the potential for a conflict or impact to the stream and wetland hydrology. These areas and any impact to the ESA must be identified by your Stream and Wetland Biologist as required by EMC 37.040 G. Note: Groundwater discharge areas, such as springs and seeps, that associated with or occur upon any of the environmentally sensitive areas listed in subsections A through E of Section EMC 37.040 may be classified as Envirunmental Sensitive Features. 4. This site is within an area that contain Environmental Sensitive �eatures and as identified in the Wet�and and Stream Report does have other site features such
