Please have the applicant address the following items on the civil documents for the above
reference short plat:
1. Vegetation Management Plan: Please submit a vegetative management plan that
demonstrates how the project complies with the 30% native vegetation requirement of
ECDC 23.90.040.C. While Sheets SP-01 and TP-01 shows the 30% native vegetation
area, no information on how the identified area will be established or maintained has
been provided. Please provide written documentation (either as notes on Sheets for a
native vegetation area or as a separate document) addressing the following:
a. Describe the vegetation that is currently present within this area, including
descriptions of what existing vegetation is native, non-native, or invasive.
b. Describe what work is needed in order to remove any existing non-native or invasive
species from within this area (if any non-native or invasive species are currently
present within this area).
c. Describe what work is needed to establish this area as native vegetation (i.e. addition
of native groundcover, shrubs, or trees in order to replace any non-native or invasive
species that must be removed).
d. Include provisions for maintenance of the native vegetation area into the future (i.e.
how will this area be maintained into the future, what will be done for control of
invasive species, how will any vegetation that requires removal in the future be
replaced?)
e. Please provide detail on when the vegetation management plan will be implemented
(i.e. following civil improvements, with building permits, some combination of both).
If the vegetation management plan will be implemented in phases, please describe.
