Document Description
Project is limited to the demolition of a single family residence, construction of a new duplex, grading, and infill in an area of approximately 3,900 sq. ft., construction of a 6 to 4.5 foot high retaining wall approximately 6 feet from the edge of the low flow channel of a non-fish-bearing stream; and one retention bios-swale, approximately 24 inches in width, 12 inches in depth extending across the property line from north to south that will be constructed adjacent to the new retaining wall. The footprint of the retention bios-swale marks the limit of grading and construction disturbance. In addition, clearing of vegetation consisting primarily of Himalayan blackberry and invasive ivy will be removed from the stream bank and surrounding area that covers approximately 750 sq. ft. or the area between the 6-foot retaining wall and the top of the stream bank and spans the width of the property. Efforts will be made during the next five years to eradicate the Himalayan blackberry and invasive ivy by use of hand tools, planting of native species and herbicide treatment.
