Mountain House Specific Plan III ........................................................................................................................................................................... ` A detailed tree survey has been performed for the subject area that located and,identified species, and assessed the condition of all mature trees. The MHCSD has found that it is infeasible to preserve these trees when widening Grant Line Roads as per Master Plan requirements. Landscaping consistent with the MHCSD Design Manual and tree mitigation policies of the EIR document shall be planted along Grant Line Road to replace the black walnut trees. 7.3.5.3 Implementation Measures ` a. Existing trees that are to be preserved within SP1II shall be preserved by following good horticultural practices to maintain existing drainage,ventilation,and solar conditions. b. The tree planting shall be consistent with the MHCSD Design Manual Streetscape for Grant Line Road. L 7.3.6 Off-site Biological Impacts 7.3.6.1 Master Plan Summary Off-site improvements, such as pipelines for water or wastewater, storage ponds, establishment or relocation of irrigation canals or irrigation systems, shall avoid adverse effects to sensitive biological resources. 7.3.6.2 Implementation Measures a Detailed field surveys of any proposed off-site mitigation locations should be conducted by a qualified biologist to determine the presence of any special-status species,sensitive natural communities,or L wetland resources. Surveys for special-status species should focus on individuals or populations,as well as the presence of critical habitat features that could be adversely affected by construction of various off- site improvements.If sensitive resources are encountered,proposed improvements should be modified If necessary to provide compliance with the State and Federal Endangered Species Acts,a habitat protection plan should be prepared by a qualified biologist in consultation with representatives of the FWS and DFG.These provisions could include appropriate setbacks and construction restrictions from a nest or den during the breeding season for the species of concern,or relocation of proposed structural improvements such as storage ponds or pipeline alignments. b Offsite improvement projects shall comply with the requirements of the San Joaquin County Multi- Species ulti- S ecies Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan(HCP). The applicant shall pay the applicable fee per acre to mitigate potential wildlife impacts. The applicant shall implement all applicable Incidental Take Avoidance Measures described in Section 5.2 of the HCP,including pre-construction surveys. If the HCP terminates,the applicant shall proceed with implementation of the Mountain ` House Habitat Management Program(HMP)contained within Master Plan Appendix 7-13.
