Based on the available information and condition above, this standard will be met. (c) Any clearing of vegetation that is not within the footprint of uses approved in accordance with EC 9.4930(3)(a) through EC 9.4930(3)(k), or uses approved through an adjustment approved under EC 9.8030(21), must be followed by replanting in accordance with the requirements of subsection (3) below. All clearing of vegetation occurring outside of the footprint of the proposed scope of work will be replanted in accordance with the standards in EC 9.4980(3), which is discussed in detail below consistent with this standard. The applicant's site plans only indicate that the impacted Conservation Area is located where the road is being constructed and the area north of the road. This does not take into account that there is Conservation Area also located on the south side of the finished road between the road/sidewalk and the property line. As this small strip is also located within a Conservation Area and warrants replanting consistent with this standard, the following condition is warranted: 2. Prior to final site plan approval, the applicant shall submit a revised final site plan that identifies the Conservation Area in between the southern property line and the southern edge of the road and sidewalk. The revised site plans shall also show replanting details consistent with the requirement at EC 9.4980(2)(c). Based on the materials in the record and the above findings and condition of approval, the standards at EC 9.4980(2) are met. (3) Planting and Replanting. Planting or replanting within the /WR conservation area shall comply with the following standards: (a) Areas of existing bare soil and areas which have been cleared or graded in accordance with subsection EC 9.4980(2) or EC 9.4980(5) shall be planted with native plant species. Except as required in (b) and (c) below, plant species and plant spacing used for such plantings shall be appropriate to increasing to the greatest extent practicable the capacity of the conservation setback area to filter pollutants from runoff that flows across the conservation setback area (not including stormwater collected and discharged from impervious surfaces). Where existing native vegetation already serves this function to some extent, additional native plants shall be planted in order to augment native vegetation already existing. Plant species selected for all plantings shall be appropriate to the site given its topography, hydrology, soil, and existing native plant species. The applicant has proposed revegetating the area of disturbance with vegetation identified on the site plan by plant species, rate of application and size. The site plan lists Tuffed Hairgrass, Meadow Barley and Prairie June Grass ground covers and four Pacific Northwest Crabapple March 2026 Findings & Decision of the Planning Director Page 12 of 28 Braewood Hills Third Addition (SDR 25-02 & PDF 25-01)
