Environmental Issue Mitigation Measure Habitat Prior to issuance of grading permits, the Director of Community Development shall approve a Habitat Enhancement Plan which shall be Enhancement integrated into the Landscape Plan for the project. The intent of the Plan would be to protect on -site natural systems, trees and resources Plan and to devise methods for integrating planting suitable for recreational activities into the Landscape Plan. The Plan shall also provide guidance regarding revegetation of wetland /riparian areas that will be disturbed by construction. The advice provided in this Plan should apply to all existing or created on -site oak woodlands, riparian areas, detention basins and fuel modification zones. The purpose of this plan shall be to increase the biological carrying capacity of these areas. Introduction of Certain ornamental plants are known to escape from planted areas and invade into native plant communities. In order to protect the native non - native plant communities that are located within the natural open space areas of the site, the plants listed in Table 4 -2 will not be planted within the species common landscaped areas of the proposed site plan. This table shall be included within the CC & R's to notify and educate homeowners. In addition, the landscaping plans within common areas of the project shall be reviewed by a qualified botanist, who shall recommend appropriate provisions to prevent other invasive plant species from colonizing remaining natural areas. These provisions may include the following: (a) review and screening of proposed plant palette and planting plans to identify and avoid the use of invasive species; (b) weed removal during the initial planting of landscaped areas; and (c) the monitoring for and removal of weeds and other invasive plant species as part of ongoing landscape maintenance activities. The frequency and method of monitoring for invasive species shall be determined by a qualified botanist. Light and Glare Al All lighting along the perimeter of natural areas, particularly street lamps, shall be downcast luminaries and shall be shielded and oriented in a manner that will prevent spillage or glare into the remaining natural and open space areas. Final lighting orientation and design shall be approved by the City. All lighting proposed shall be consistent with Chapter 17.30 of the Municipal Code. City of Moorpark 01//23/2002 Resolution 2002 -1935 Page 65 West Pointe Homes 250 Unit Subdivision in Walnut Canyon Environmental Issue Mitigation Measure Biological To limit impacts to biological resources, the following design and construction measures will be incorporated into either the Environmental Impacts Resulting Quality Assurance Program for the project (refer to Chapter 18 of the EIR, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program), or into the project from Grading and design itself. Some of these measures should be incorporated into grading bid documents to ensure that contractors are aware of likely Construction construction limitations. Activities The construction documents will clearly delineate the limits of grading, and the location of remaining trees, remaining jurisdictional resources, and the preserved natural open space areas. • Limit of grading will be staked and flagged by a qualified surveyor in accordance with the final approved grading plan. Prior to surveying activities, the surveyor will be instructed to avoid driving on or immediately adjacent to sensitive biological resources, including remaining trees, remaining jurisdictional resources, and remaining natural habitats. The construction contractor will ensure that temporary chain -link fencing is installed at the limit of grading when the grading limit is close to natural habitat areas or to jurisdictional resources. The fencing will remain in place until grading and excavation work is complete, and will be removed under the direction of the biological inspector. Prior to fence installation, the fencing contractor will be instructed to avoid driving on or immediately adjacent to sensitive biological resources, including remaining trees, remaining jurisdictional resources, and remaining natural habitats. • If the temporary fencing is damaged during construction, the construction contractor shall be responsible for repairing the damage within 48 hours. • Signs, which state that access to the preserved natural open space areas is prohibited, will be attached to the temporary chain -link fencing. • All California black walnut, native oak, and mature trees within 200 feet of grading and construction shall be inventoried and marked for protection prior to any construction activities. Trees to be removed shall be painted with a red "X" on the trunk. Trees to be preserved shall be flagged with yellow flagging visible from all directions. The flagging will not be nailed to any trees. City of Moorpark 01//23 /2002 Resolution 2002 -1935 Page 66 West Pointe Homes 250 Unit Subdivision in Walnut Canyon Environmental Issue Mitigation Measure Biological All California black walnut, native oak, and mature trees to be preserved in the vicinity of the limits of grading shall be protected with Impacts Resulting temporary fencing. Plastic snow - fencing, available in bright orange, is recommended for its high visibility and ease of installation. Where from Grading and possible, the fencing will be no closer than 5 feet to the dripline of any tree. Construction Activities Where necessary, erosion control measures shall be constructed on the slopes below grading areas to prevent erosion and deposition of (continued) materials into areas with remaining California black walnut, native oak, and mature trees during grading and construction activities. These erosion control measures will also prevent silts from entering drainages. • The biological inspector shall prepare an instruction sheet for all equipment operators who will work on the site. The instruction sheet shall include information that will be stated in the CDFG Streambed Alteration Agreement, including, but not limited to, protection of the preserved jurisdictional areas from litter, contaminants, and debris. Each operator will be required to sign an acknowledgment that they are aware of these conditions and that their violation of such conditions may result in their termination of work on the site and financial responsibility for correction of damage. • The biological inspector shall conduct meetings with the contractor and other key construction personnel describing the importance of restricting work to within the grading limit and outside of the preserved areas. The inspector should also discuss staging /storage areas for construction equipment and materials. The biological inspector shall investigate all on -site storage areas to minimize impacts to biological resources. Construction access, parking, storage of equipment and materials shall not occur within 25 feet of the dripline of any California black walnut, native oak, or mature trees. Construction personnel shall be prohibited from entry into areas outside the designated construction area, except for necessary construction related activities, such as surveying, and the potential construction of storm drain inlet and outlet structures. All such construction activities in or adjacent to remaining open space areas shall be coordinated with the biological inspector. • The construction contractor will install temporary erosion control measures, if necessary, to reduce impacts to and protect on -site drainages from excess sedimentation, siltation, and erosion. These measures shall consist the use of temporary soil covers, such as hydroseeding with native plants, mulch /binder and erosion control blankets to protect exposed soil from wind and rain; and /or the installation of silt fencing, sandbags, hay /straw bales (excluding rice straw), berms, and dikes to protect storm drain inlets and drainages. The biological inspector will periodically examine the erosion control devices to ensure that they are working correctly. The construction contractor will be responsible for repairing any erosion control devices should they fail to work correctly. City of Moorpark 01 //23/2002 Resolution 2002 -1935 Page 67 West Pointe Homes 250 Unit Subdivision in Walnut Canyon Environmental Issue Mitigation Measure Biological Impacts Resulting No refueling, changing of oil or other fluids shall occur on the project site. Vehicles carrying supplies, such as concrete, should not be allowed to empty, clean out, or otherwise place materials into the on -site open space areas or natural areas located immediately from Grading and adjacent to the site. If oil or other fluids are accidentally spilled within the open space areas of the site, the contaminated soil will be Construction immediately removed from the area and disposed of in a legally acceptable manner. Activities (continued) No discarding of any trash or other construction waste materials within the open space areas or natural areas located immediately adjacent to the site is permitted. The construction contractor will periodically collected trash and debris within the construction areas and dispose of trash and debris off site in a legal manner. • Any equipment or vehicles driven and /or operated within or adjacent to the on -site drainages shall be checked and maintained daily, to prevent leaks of materials that if introduced to water could be deleterious to aquatic life. No equipment maintenance shall be conducted within or adjacent to the jurisdictional areas or within 50 feet of these areas. Standard dust control measures of the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District shall be implemented to reduce impacts on nearby plants and wildlife. This includes a variety of options to reduce dust including replacing ground cover in disturbed areas as quickly as possible, watering active sites regularly, and suspending all excavating and grading operations during periods of high winds. • All construction activities in the vicinity of any California black walnut, native oak, or mature trees shall be monitored periodically by the biological inspector and /or a qualified arborist retained through the EQAP program for the project. • The EQAP arborist will monitor all grading and construction activities that are located within 5 feet of the dripline of any California black walnut, native oak, or mature trees. Construction access shall be planned to minimize pruning of trees. However, all dead branches, and large branches that distort the symmetry or sound structure of the tree or trees that pose a hazard, should be removed. All necessary pruning will be done by a qualified arborist. • Where possible, no soil compaction, trenching, grading, or fill will occur within 5 feet of the dripline of any California black walnut, native oak, or mature trees. City of Moorpark 01//23/2002 Resolution 2002 -1935 Page 68 West Pointe Homes 250 Unit Subdivision in Walnut Canyon Environmental Issue Mitigation Measure Biological If it is necessary to lower the grade within or less than 5 feet from the dripline of any California black walnut, native oak, or mature trees, Impacts Resulting attempts shall be made to avoid or limit damage to the root zone. Retaining walls shall be used around trees if needed to preserve the from Grading and root zone. If a retaining wall is not feasible, then 4 to 6 inches of mulch or ungrouted stone will be placed on the cut to prevent roots from Construction drying out. Activities (continued) During or following construction, a qualified arborist will prune all dead branches and hazardous limbs from all remaining trees located adjacent to the development envelope. No dead branches will be removed that contain bird nest cavities unless it must be removed for safety reasons. • Grading shall occur uphill from remaining California black walnut, native oak, and mature trees in such a way as to prevent excess soil and rock from escaping downslope and disturbing the base of the tree. • Any brush clearance within the dripline of trees shall be completed by hand - tools. • If during grading or trenching, woody roots are exposed, the work shall be monitored by the biological inspector or a qualified arborist and the following treatments shall be provided: - Remove soil in lines radial to the tree rather than tangential to avoid excessive ripping and shattering of roots. - Cut all exposed roots cleanly at a 90 degree angle; avoid cutting roots under which tunnels could be dug for utility lines. - Place a minimum of six inches of sand over exposed cuts and roots to reduce soil desiccation until the area is backfilled. Only treat cuts with a tree sealant prior to backfilling if recommended by the biological inspector or qualified arborist. - Backfill with native soil as soon as possible. - After any trenching in the root zone, the tree shall be carefully pruned by a qualified arborist to remove canopy material proportional to the roots which were removed or damaged. The canopies of all remaining trees in the vicinity of construction activity shall be periodically sprayed with water to reduce dust accumulation on the leaves. City of Moorpark 01//23/2002 Resolution 2002 -1935 Page 69 West Pointe Homes 250 Unit Subdivision in Walnut Canyon Environmental Issue Mitigation Measure Biological Where possible, irrigation devices shall be planned to be installed outside of the dripline of oaks. Irrigation will be designed to avoid Impacts Resulting wetting areas within the dripline of oaks during operation of the system. from Grading and Construction Unavoidable surface runoff will be directed away from remaining trees or will be gathered outside the dripline by a swale or other means. Activities No water will be allowed to pond or collect within the dripline of any oak. (continued) Post - Construction Conditions • Upon completion of construction, the contractor shall be held responsible to restore any haul roads, access roads, staging areas, or graded areas that are outside of approved grading limits. Restoration shall be done in consultation with a restoration biologist. • Following construction activities, the construction contractor will be collect all trash and debris from within the open space areas of the site and dispose of this trash and debris off site in a legal manner. • The construction contractor will remove the temporary chain -link fencing following grading and construction activities. • Erosion control devices, such as silt fencing, sandbags, and hay /straw bales, that were installed to protect the open space areas during construction, will be removed at the discretion of the biological inspector.
