1250703 EIS 27 Fairway Drive

5 V. MITIGATION 5.1 INTRODUCTION Previously, evaluations of the existing site conditions and the unavoidable impacts associated with the construction of the proposed dwellings. This section examines other measures that can be used to minimize potential adverse environmental effects. Only items which require further explanation or description are discussed. 5.2 VEGETATION Disturbed areas will be restored with lawn and landscaping. New plantings, including trees and shrubs, will enhance the site and provide buffering to adjacent properties. A tree replacement plan will be prepared in accordance with the Township Ordinance as well as the findings of the Township Forester. 5.3 HYDROLOGY AND STORM WATER RUNOFF The development of this parcel as described above would not change the existing drainage patterns and will detain the required amount of runoff volume. The grading and underground stormwater storage system are designed so as to direct nearly all of the stormwater runoff to the northwestern corner of the site as consistent with existing drainage patterns. VI. LICENSES, PERMITS AND APPROVALS The following approvals and/or permits are required for the proposed site plan. 1. Municipal Planning Board Approval 2. Municipal Engineering Zoning, & Building permits 3. Hudson-Essex-Passaic Soil Conservation District Plan Certification VII. CONCLUSION The proposed subdivision of 27 Fairway Drive into three residential lots represents a logical extension of the surrounding residential neighborhood. The site is not environmentally constrained and has been previously developed. Potential environmental impacts are limited in scope and duration and can be effectively mitigated through standard engineering and construction practices. Based on the above analysis, the proposed development can be constructed without significant adverse impact to the environment or to the public health, safety, and welfare.
