Due to the incorporation of automobiles on the site, surface water can be expected to
become contaminated with petroleum by-products prior to leaving this site. An oil
separator incorporated within the retention system can be expected to reduce pollutant
levels.
(4) Flora
a. Clearing activity, necessary for road installation, building areas and associated
parking will reduce numbers of flora present. This amounts to some .4 acres removed.
c. Through landscaping, new species of flora may be introduced which are not native to
the site.
(5) Fauna
a,c,d. The introduction of construction equipment and resultant use for clearing necessary.
for proper grade transition, drainage, and foundation stability will reduce habitat and
lessen the desirability (by site fauna) of the site as habitat. The introduction of
domestic pets and human population (along with the previous activity) may further: hinder
the re-establishment'of native animal,population. Animals displaced from the site would
eventually be eliminated through competitive exclusion. Species that can withstand the
change of habitat or are suited to the new development would survive in reduced numbers.
(6) Noise
Noise levels would be intermittently high throughout construction, but should be -limited to
normal waking hours.. After construction, residential activity and traffic noise created by'
approximately 80 average.daily vehicular trips would increase ambient noise levels. This
increase can be — xpected to not have significant impact.
(7) Light and Glare j!
The introduction of streetlights, automobiles, home lighting, etc. will produce new light .
and add.new reflective surfaces which produce glare. The on -site vegetation is expected to
partially mitigate these effects of development.
(8) Land Use
Currently, the site is undeveloped, in a naturally vegetative condition. The area land use
trend is mixed, with a park to the north, single family residenti.al (high density) to. the
east and west, and multiple family zoning on cleared land, to the south.
(11) Population
The development proposed will create an overall increase in population, with the addition
of ei ht families to the area.
