Ms. Carol Whiteside <br /> Ms. Kerry Sullivan <br /> April 6, 1992 <br /> Page Four . <br /> The DEIR identifies the project as potentially growth inducing because it may <br /> encourage other nearby landowners to cancel existing Williamson Act contracts <br /> prematurely or file for Non-Renewal. We suggest that the proposed Conservation <br /> A32 Easement be identified as a mitigation measure so that a standard of development is <br /> established for areas designated General Agriculture (current 1995 Plan) and Resource <br /> Conservation in the proposed 2010. The Conservation Easement should also be <br /> designated as mitigation for Williamson Contract cancellation. <br /> Furthermore, we suggest that as an additional mitigation measure to protect <br /> mature native trees (Mitigation Measure 4.7-3(a), page.4.7-25], a zone of potential <br /> impact should be established within which the trees should be inventoried (tagged), and <br /> A33 the state of health and condition discussed. This will establish a baseline from which <br /> routine monitoring of the trees should be performed. If trees show effects of a change in <br /> the drainage or other development impacts, there should be a mitigation plan including <br /> correction of the drainage problem. <br /> Finally, we support the elimination of the golf course and the elimination of the <br /> A34 haul route as mitigation for the loss and disruption of nesting and foraging habitat for <br /> the Swainson's Hawk as well as the elimination of the excavation of the Tracy Lakes and <br /> e retention of them as seasonal wetlands for the reasons cited in the DEIR. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
