HomeMy WebLinkAbout123David:
Thanks for forwarding the email below on to me. The responses from the applicant on December 2, 2015 to my comments 3 and 4 do not address my comments. As it is now, there is a discrepancy
between what the applicant states in SEIS/supporting technical documents regarding the amount of potential wetland/wetland buffer impact and the amount of mitigation proposed (comment
3) and a discrepancy between a text and a table in the EIS/supporting technical documents (comment 4).

David:
Here are my comments based on the November 24, 2015 matrix, specifically to Comment Letter Number 25 on page 2:
Comment Number 1 – no further comment (the applicant has clarified that the wetland mitigation site will not be used as part of the water treatment system).
Comment Number 2 – no further comment (the applicant has agreed to a performance bond for mitigation).
Comment Number 3 – It appears that the revised plan sheets no longer show a surface water connection between the pond created as part of the development and the existing wetland, so
this part of the comment has been addressed. However, during a conference call, the applicant agreed to submit an addendum to the wetland mitigation plans to say that Wetlands C and
D will not be “enhanced” and that the proposal does not include piping water to Wetlands C and D as well as to the wetland mitigation site. DCD still needs an addendum letter from
the applicant to address this part of the comment.
At the permitting stage, the applicant will submit a hydrologic report to address wetland hydrology and an addendum to the wetland mitigation plan confirming that the proposal does not
include piping water to or any enhancements of existing Wetlands C and D.
Comment Number 4 – DCD still needs EA to respond to this comment since the text and the tables do not seem to agree.
The statement that no significant unavoidable impacts would result has been revised in Section 3.3 (Plants) the Final SEIS as follows:
With proposed development under either Alternative 1, 2 or 3, areas of existing vegetation would be removed: 201 acres under Alternative 1, 152 acres under Alternative 2, and 132 acres
under Alternative 3. Areas of retained natural vegetation and new vegetation in the form of the golf course and new landscaping would be provided.
Let me know if you have any questions,
