Isolated clumps of slough sedge (Carex ebnu ta) <br /> �� were observed in the northern half of the property's swale area. <br /> o� In the Wetland Delineation study, it was the judgement of the <br /> consultants that the areas identified represent low value <br /> wetlands due to lack of plant diversity and associated habitat, <br /> • limited flood/storm water storage capability and absence of <br /> , groundwater recharge/�+ater quality benefits. . <br /> b. What kind and arr,ount of vegetation wil� be removed or altered? <br /> Clearin9 of trees, shrubs and groundcover will take place during � <br /> development of driveways, utilities, residential areas and � <br /> recreational facilities. Amounts of vegetation to be removed <br /> range from complete removal (for building sites, roads and <br /> parkir�3 areas) , to selective thinnin9 (hazardous tr?es and red <br /> alder; , to minimal or no disturbance (in selected areas along <br /> the western, northern and southern site margins) . All such <br /> ����►� clearing will be regulated within th� grading plan and permic <br /> +M r approval process. <br /> 1 The proposal plans for the removal and filling of the 0.81 acre <br /> � �� wetlands on the sitE and as discussed in the Wetlands <br /> , �.1 Delineation report, mitigation of impacts is proposed within the <br /> i adjacent Phase 2 city wet pond site. <br /> i <br /> � '..�. c.

Where clearing has been conducted in areas � <br /> ,-; not to be covered by buildings or impervious surfaces, they will <br /> be landscaped with compatible ever9reens, shrubs and trees. � <br /> Areas around buildin�s and the recreational facility will be <br /> planted with lawns. The developer will plant lawns, trees and <br /> shrubs to infill previously cleared areas adjacent to buildin9s. <br /> tJative and indigenous plant materials will be empliasized where <br /> practical in landscaping.
