Bill,
We have reviewed the above referenced plans and have the following comments:
1. Provide professional seal that is signed and dated.
2. Provide existing and proposed topography.
3. Provide legend for all linetypes (floodplain, buffer, etc).
4. Show all existing easements.
5. Show all critical slopes.
6. Ensure that no invasive species are proposed (including grass seed mixes). Provide note on the
plan that no invasive species shall be planted.
7. Please label the Old Trail Village blocks on all sheets. It is easier to navigate the areas since
discussions always revolve around blocks.
8. Details for planning area 3 and 6 appear to be missing. Please provide.
9. Please clarify that mitigation areas are equal to 2x's the total disturbed area. Some areas are
future/pending, so there needs to be a note that says how much disturbance this mitigation is for?
For example, if 100 SF was estimated to be disturbed, but it turns into 110SF, this mitigation plan
would need to be revised. Currently, the plan doesn't show how much is disturbed, it just shows
total mitigation area. This might only need to be applied to the future/planned areas. Engineering
understands that the approved mitigation plan areas are already covering the 2x, they are just being
moved around.
10. Provide maintenance requirements on the plan.
11. Please reference the 70% credit for grass/perennials (source?). Riparian guide, page XX, for
example.
12. Plantings by others are shown on this plan, but you are not proposing any changes to them and
they are not included in your calculations, correct?

recorded before any mitigation bonds will be released.
15. REV 1: Per the meeting at the county on 4/25/19,the amount needed to be bonded with this master
plan will be the difference between what is proposed and what is currently bonded. Block 32 (area
