Document Description
This project consists of road construction and timber removal within a wetland buffer setback. The road will serve a proposed, principally permitted, single family residence located outside of the wetland buffer setback.
The total length of the proposed new road construction and road improvements is approximately 1,200 feet. The entire length of the road will be improved with gravel and rock surfacing to meet road category 2 standards with appropriate fire safe turn outs. Portions of the road are in neighboring parcels and an easement has already been secured.
Construction of a new road to connect an existing haul road to Liscom Hill Road totals approximately 540 feet. Of that approximately 220 feet are within the wetland buffer setback. Proposed improvements to the existing haul road include approximately 204 feet within the wetland setback. As proposed, the road improvements will require a reduction of the wetland setback from 100 feet to between 60 and 24 feet.
