Fish, Wildlife and Ecologically Sensitive Resources: <br />a. Describe fish and wildlife resources on or near the site and discuss <br />how they would be affected by the project. Describe any measures to <br />be taken to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. <br /> <br />The remaining lots on the site not occupied by streets, buildings, or <br />excavated stormwater ponds are upland and are either under construction <br />or have been graded to accommodate development. Temporary sediment <br />and erosion control devices have been established on the sites under <br />construction. No wooded or brushy areas are present, and the overall <br />structural diversity of the habitat is low. <br /> <br />The quality and value of this habitat for wildlife is relatively low due to <br />the following reasons: <br /> <br />The nature of the adjoining areas is such that it does not attract or harbor <br />significant wildlife populations. Interstate 35W borders the site to the <br />west, Interstate 35W interchanges lie to the north and south, and a <br />combination of residential housing, business, and industrial developments <br />lie to the east. Ponding areas to the south and east may attract some <br />waterfowl and waterbirds, but there are no significant ponding areas on the <br />subject site other than the 8 small storm water ponds scattered throughout. <br /> <br />The degree of disturbance to the area has been high. Buildings and houses <br />have been removed, the entire site was graded, storm water ponds and <br />ditches were excavated, and buildings and an internal road and trail system <br />were constructed, all within the last 10 years. This has resulted in the <br />removal of all natural habitat components. The undeveloped portions of <br />the site are a combination of landscaped and turf areas. <br /> <br />Page 11 <br />
