NARRATIVE DISCUSSION Environmental Setting The project site consists of mostly flat vacant land once used for agriculture. Two single- family residences, both on Pock Lane, occupy adjacent parcels to the site. Duck Creek traverses the project site; however, it is channelized and has only grasses and reeds. Trees in the area are associated with the on-site and adjacent residences. The project site is within a developing area. Urban development is visible to the north, west, and east. South of the 2706 Pock Lane site is an orchard. The most prominent visual features in the area are Duck Creek, residences and utility poles along Pock Lane, the orchard, and radio station towers south of the 3009 Pock Lane site.
