The grading and drainage plan will have to be revieWed and approved by the Lower Rum River Water Management Organization (LRRWMO). The .Sketch plan also identifies filling .36 acres of wetlands for roads. The Wetland Conservation. ACt establishes a sequencing process for wetland filling. The LRRWMO is also resPonsible for administration of the Wetland Conservation Act. Because the proposed development will diSturb:more than 80 acres of naturally vegetated and forested land, an environmental revieW is required: An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) will be required as a part of the iprel~inary plat submittal. The property has been documented to contain contamination frOm lead shot. The City has applied for a grant to clean up the contamination, with the understanding lthat all non-grant costs associated with the cleanup will be borne by the developer of the property, iThis site will need to have the contamination removed as a condition for the approval ofthi$ plat. Current City Code requires densitY transiti°ning ibetween the project area and adjacent rural size lots. A 'Dee Preservation Plan will be required at the time of preliminary plat review and approval. The Developer has consulted with City Staff regarding the tree preservation plan and some oak wilt control work on the sitel ' A traffic generation analysis will ibc required at the time of preliminary plat review.

Traprock Street is also proposed to be extended north into the plat from Traprock Commons to the soutl~. At the time Traprock Commons was platted, Traprock Street was terminated in a temporary cul-de-sac with the intention of eventually extending Traprock to serve the property to the.north.
