Tho ovorall screening for the majority of high <br />quality Wetland B will be improved lhrough the designatfon of <br />tract 996 buffer added area. <br />Provisions of nutrients and woody debris for downstream will <br />be unchanged, as Wetland A wlll be partlally fllled. However, <br />the enhancemenl wfll offset the impacts, Malntaining a larger <br />area of buffer in tract 996 around Wetland 8 offers a greater <br />chance for woody debris to fall into the beaver pond and be <br />transferred downstream. <br />(c) Innovativo Dosign <br />Section 30.62.370 (2) Innovative Developmenl Design has criteria for <br />approval (a). The Innovative des(c�n will result in the net <br />Improvement of the function values of these wetlands and their <br />buffers as follows; <br />Wetland A Is a Palustrine emergent, reed canary grass wetland that <br />has been partially dra(ned through the construction of the ditch off- <br />site to the northwest. Water level has been lowered, and exotic <br />Invasive vegetation dominatos. Further the buffer (s dominated by <br />Himalayan blackberry. Portions of Wetland A will be fllled for lot 16 <br />and tracl 999. As mitigation the remainder of Wetland A and Ils <br />buffer that is oi low value and quality will bo enhanced. At the east <br />edge of lots 9 and 10, a small portion of Wetland C will actually be <br />filled, whlle a larger portion will have a paper flll. <br />3847 RBA, Inc. 1It1/OG <br />
