No <br />encroachment on any wetland area is anticipated for this <br />development, and restrictive covenants will be used to <br />assure that wetlands within platted lots are not encroached <br />upon. <br /> <br />A designated floodway district along Trott Brook would <br />restrict development' in that area. A flood fringe disttict <br />around Lake Itasca and Eddy Lake impacts some of the area <br />proposed for development but residences constructed on fill <br />are permitted in this area if certain conditions regarding <br />fill elevation are met. Host of the floodway and flood <br />fringe districts in this project site will remain as open <br />space. <br /> <br />11.0 WILDLIFE HABITAT <br /> <br />{ <br /> <br />i No threatened or endangered animal or plant species are <br />expected to be impacted by construction. Some wildlife <br />I' species initially displaced by construction activities will <br />return after construction is completed. Some wildlife <br />species will not return, and in the long term, some animal <br />species will decline in number. <br /> <br />In response to comments by the DNR, a seventh alternative ~o <br />preserve more wildlife habitat is discussed in the FEIS. A <br />wildlife survey of the area was conducted and is included in <br /> <br />-4- <br /> <br />
