This Alternative Environmentally Sensitive Area (AESA) Report is being submitted to the City of Denton under the Denton Development Code (DDC) Section 2.8.4 to request approval for impacts to Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA). This AESA Report proposes mitigation measures for multiple impact areas required to construct roadways, lots, and associated infrastructure for the proposed residential development. DESCRIPTION OF OVERALL DEVELOPMENT The proposed Barrel Strap Residential project site is approximately 14.4 acres in size located at the southwestern corner of Hickory Creek Road and Barrel Strap Road in the City of Denton, Denton County, Texas (Appendix A - Figure 1). The proposed development will consist of a 50-1ot residential development and all associated infrastructure including sidewalks, interior roads, necessary utilities, and sewer lines. The development impact area is approximately 13 acres. The current zoning for the tract is Residential (R7), which allows for the proposed development. EXISTING SITE DESCRIPTION The project site was characterized as a fallow agricultural property currently used for oil and gas production. Recent aerial photography also indicates that the eastern portion was utilized for construction activities resulting in a large surface disturbance and residual gravel areas. Much of the project site was dominated by grasses and forbs such as Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon}, Johnsongrass \Sorghum halepense\ , King Ranch bluestem (Bothriochloa ischaemum\, prairie three-awn (Aristida oligantha\, silver bluestem IBothriochloa saccharoides\, white heath aster (Aster ericoides), common ragweed (Ambrosia augustifolia\, Canada goldenrod ISalidago canadensis\, and prairie broomweed (Xanthocephalum dracunculoides) . Honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa\ and eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana\ were observed sporadically throughout the grassland areas. Two forested areas were observed, one hilltop in the west and one forested riparian corridor in the central region. Both areas were dominated by post oak (Quercus stellata) with sugarberry {Celtis laevigata) , common greenbrier {Smilax bona-nox), eastern redcedar, Chinese privet LLigustrum sinense\, and poison ivy LToxicodendron radicans\ observed in the understory. IES Environmental staff conducted a site visit on 08 November 2021 to confirm ESAs mapped by the City of Denton. Prior to the site visit, IES reviewed the previously mapped and assessed ESAs as depicted on the Official ESA Map of the City of Denton Online Map Viewer. The ESAs, as depicted on the Online Map Viewer, are shown on Appendix A, Figure 2. ESAs associated with an assessment completed in 2022 were depicted as follows: ESA22-0027: The assessment reviewed the status of a section of an unnamed tributary to Bryant Creek bisecting the central region of the project site. The assessment confirmed the 50-foot Riparian Buffer ESA surrounding the drainage as well as the Undeveloped Floodplain ESA surrounding the tributary. The assessment removed the Cross Timbers Upland Habitat on the western side of the property as it did not meet the 10-acre contiguous canopy cover requirement. Additionally, it was determined that the development in the region extending south of the southern west- to-east boundary was initiated prior to the adoption of the ESA regulations. Therefore, the region to the south is not subject to the ESA protection requirements. During the site visit, an intermittent stream was identified within the project site, entering via a culvert under Hickory Creek Road and exiting to the south. A 50-foot Riparian Buffer ESA and Floodplain ESA were identified along the stream. The stream previously extended north of the boundary but was channelized and culverted for the construction of Hickory Creek Road. No previous environmental or flood studies were completed with the installation of the Public Infrastructure and were therefore not available for reference in this document. The Curve Development; CO/ Bear Land Consultants Barrel Strap Residential Project Site – AESA Report 07 September 2023 Page 2 onsite stream, and ESAs identified during the site visit are shown in Appendix A, Figure 3. The habitat within the ESA is as follows: Streams An intermittent stream meanders through the central region of the ESA before exiting the site to the south. The intermittent stream was, on average, 5-feet wide and incised 6 inches to 18 inches. Overall, the stream was in Good condition based on the Rapid Stream Assessment Technique (RSAT) performed during the ESA assessment. Riparian Buffer ESA The 50-foot Riparian Buffer was identified along the intermittent stream meandering through the central region. Riparian Buffer ESAs to the north, southwest, and southeast of the unassessed ESA were removed through ESA assessments completed in 2016 (ESA15-0006). The Riparian Buffer was dominated by post oak with sugarberry, common greenbrier, eastern redcedar, Chinese privet, and poison ivy observed in the understory. Table 1 below summarizes the trees measured and identified within the Riparian Buffer and Undeveloped Floodplain ESA. A full tree inventory completed in November 2021 is included as Appendix B. Trees were recorded on a Trimble GeoExplorer XT Global Positioning System (GPS) unit capable of sub-meter accuracy. Table 1.

The ESA is associated with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100-year floodplain Zone A. Table 1 above summarizes the trees measured and tagged within the Undeveloped Floodplain and Riparian Buffer ESA PURPOSE OF AESA The purpose of this AESA is to propose mitigation for the impacts to the Riparian Buffer and Undeveloped Floodplain ESAs as a result of the proposed residential development construction. The proposed project would involve constructing roads, sidewalks, lot walls, and sewer lines within the limits of the Riparian Buffer and Undeveloped Floodplain ESAs. The existing median opening on Hickory Creek was placed over the northern section of the intermittent stream due to engineering and transportation requirements, resulting in impacts to the ESA that cannot be avoided. Grading required for the construction would be limited to the minimum necessary for the roads, sidewalks, lots, and associated utilities totaling approximately 0.660 acre (39 percent of 1.688-acre total) within the Riparian Buffer ESA and 0.250 acre (31 percent of 0.796-acre total) within the Undeveloped Floodplain ESA. Appendix A, Figure 4 shows the proposed impacts to the ESA. Engineering constraints and modifications resulting in limited impacts to the ESA include: Site Access Barrel Strap Road is a TxDOT operated facility with a posted speed limit of 45 mph. Per Table 2.2 of the TxDOT Access Management Manual, any proposed entrance to Barrel Strap Road would require a spacing of 360 linear feet (LF) from both of the intersections at Hickory Creek Road and Ocean Drive. With a total frontage of Curve Development; CO/ Bear Land Consultants Barrel Strap Residential Project Site - AESA Report 07 September 2023 Page 3 approximately 690 LF, the frontage along Barrel Strap Road does not meet the minimum intersection spacing to warrant an entrance, Hickory Creek Road east bound lanes were constructed in front of the project site in 2020. The sole median break to the site was constructed over the creek that extended the culvert into the project site. This median break provides the natural north access point for the site as it provides access from both the east and west on Hickory Creek Road. However, as it lines up with the creek, the ESA would be impacted by the access road. The Nautical Lane entrance must be located a minimum of 400 LF from the Hickory Creek Road intersection and 200 LF from the Ocean Drive intersection. These minimum distances dictate the 95 LF available along Nautical Lane for the second subdivision access point. Interior Design Layout The following design constraints were considered in the project design: • Lat sizes within the development must be a minimum of 50 LF wide and 80 LF deep. • Residential street intersection spacing cannot be closer than 200 LF apart. • Residential streets cannot exceed 600 LF without looped access for emergency vehicles. • Per Table 1.4.6.1 of the Denton Transportation Criteria Manual, a 100 LF minimum distance is required prior to the first intersection for entrances to subdivisions off of an arterial where lots back up to the arterial. On the east side of the project a looped street network was utilized to avoid a second right-of-way crossing through the ESA. A variance was requested to extend the 600 LF limit of the cul-de-sac with an emergency access road for connectivity. Another variance was requested to reduce the eastern residential roadway ROW along the ESA to 43.5 LF with a 25 LF pavement section and a 6 LF sidewalk on the ESA side. These designs would reduce the impact to the ESA but were denied by staff. To comply with the 200 LF intersection limitation, the looped road must line up with the Hickory Creek Road entrance. The four-way intersection at this location is within the northern portion of the ESA, increasing the impact Walls were strategically placed throughout the project to minimize the removal of trees and impacts to the ESA. Given the design and environmental constraints, the project design only impacts 0.660 acre of Riparian Buffer ESA and 0.250 acre of Undeveloped Floodplain ESA. Through the strategic placement of walls and removal of one lot that had a high density of trees, the project layout results in 55% tree preservation, which includes all trees in the ESA NOTIFICATION AND REVIEW This AESA Report explains the mitigation measures for impacts to the ESA that will be provided to the City of Denton for formal notification of the activity and review of the proposed restoration activity. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT AND SUMMARY OF IMPACTS Appendix A, Figure 5 shows the observed Riparian Buffer and Undeveloped Floodplain associated with the stream channel through the central region. The total Riparian Buffer ESA covers 1.688 acres, and the Undeveloped Floodplain ESA covers 0.796 acre within the property boundary. The project is proposing to construct roads, sidewalks, lot walls, and a sewer line within the on-site Riparian Buffer and Undeveloped Floodplain ESAs. All vegetation within the impact area will be permanently removed during the initial construction; however, the impacts will be limited to the extent necessary to fulfill the needs of the residential development. The proposed impacts from the construction of the roads, sidewalks, lot walls and associated infrastructure are limited to 0.660 acre in the Riparian Buffer ESA and 0.250 acre in the Undeveloped Floodplain ESA. The total impacts and site plan are shown on Appendix A, Figure 5. Curve Development; CO/ Bear Land Consultants Barrel Strap Residential Project Site – AESA Report 07 September 2023 Page 4 Based on the tree inventory completed in November 2021 by IES, tree species within the impact area include blackjack oak (Quercus marilandica\, cedar elm, eastern red cedar, Mexican plum IPrunus mexicana) , and post oak. The understory within the riparian buffer was overgrown with Chinese privet. Herbaceous cover was limited, but when present, it consisted of scatted Virginia wildrye and coralberry near the drainage. The trees to be removed are described in Table 2. The proposed trees to be removed within the ESA total 1,030.3-caliper inches from 77 trees, which were all identified as healthy. The 77 healthy trees make up approximately 31 percent of the total healthy trees within the on-site ESA.

A minimum of 100 LF spacing from Hickory Creek Road was required for the interior subdivision road, restricting practical modifications to the site plan. Relatively small, additional impacts are necessary in the southern region to construct lot walls, a sewer line, and a stormwater outfall. Vegetation will be removed during the initial grading for the development. The walls will be constructed entirely within the DIA with no construction traffic or clearing occurring on the mitigation area side of the walls. A pre-construction meeting will be held to notify contractors of ESA mitigation area limits and a visual barrier such as a temporary chain link fence will be installed to ensure construction remains within the DIA boundary. A special conditions narrative clarifying the construction methodology and preservation of trees near retaining walls, rip rap, and grading has been included in Appendix D. No additional adverse impacts to the southernmost portion of the stream or the remainder of the ESAs are expected from the construction. Following the residential development construction, a contractor will be instructed by Curve Development; C/O Bear Land Consultants to remove invasive, understory Chinese privet growth from the unimpacted ESA portions as well as non-graded areas surrounding the ESAs. Following the Chinese privet management, the remaining ESAs will be seeded with native grasses and a diverse range of native saplings and shrubs will be planted to increase species richness within the oak-dominated grove. Once the Chinese privet has been removed and the area has been revegetated, the resulting AESA will provide additional native habitat while also aiding in stormwater management for the residential development. In addition, all appropriate best management practices (BMPs) will be in place as required by the General Construction Permit and site-specific Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, which may include the installation of silt fencing or a rock check dam prior to construction activity discharges to the ESA PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OF UNAFFECTED AREAS A two-phase mitigation plan executed over a year-long period is proposed to effectively restore and improve the unimpacted area. A contractor, such as IES, will be contracted to complete the privet removal, plantings, and monitoring. In the first stage, the developer is proposing to mechanically remove Chinese privet, an invasive species, from the understory of the non-impacted ESA portions as well as from non-graded areas surrounding the ESA to help prevent the reintroduction of Chinese privet. The removal approach is a targeted mechanism to eliminate invasive species and will result in no ground disturbing activities that could harm overstory trees. The initial privet removal will occur the first winter after construction has commenced to reduce sprouting. Following Curve Development; CO/ Bear Land Consultants Barrel Strap Residential Project Site – AESA Report 07 September 2023 Page 6 privet removal, as an erosion and sediment control measure and seeding strategy, the mitigation area will be hydromulched at 2,000 pounds per acre of wood fiber mulch with tackifier. Figure 1 illustrates that invasive Chinese prIvet currently dominates the canopy understory within the ESA. Mechanical removal will consist of the use of a hydro-axe for most of the area, supplemented with hand clearing to remove Chinese privet immediately surrounding existing trees. The hydro-axe will remove the aboveground portion of the Chinese privet plant but does not remove the root system and sprouting will occur. The regrowth will be spot treated with triclopyr, a pesticide from the City’s Integrated Pest Management list, the following spring at the recommended label rate. An additional spot treatment of seedlings will be conducted if necessary. Debris from the privet removal will be collected and disposed of outside of the mitigation area. The eradication of Chinese privet will open the understory and improve opportunities for diverse native species to thrive with limited invasive competition. A successful eradication will allow for no more than 5 percent of remaining Chinese privet understory cover prior to the mitigation area planting. Seedlings and regrowth will be monitored and removed seasonally within the mitigation area as needed to ensure Chinese privet remains eradicated. Once the Chinese privet has been successfully removed, a range of native saplings, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation will be planted within the remaining portion of the on-site ESA to replace the removed caliper inches in the impacted area and increase diversity The ESA is currently dominated by oak trees, which provide cover and stability but lack diversity as well as age stratification. A diverse tree population is beneficial for sustaining a variety of wildlife, supporting ecosystem services, and facing stressors such as climate change, insect blight, disease, and pollutants. Table 3 indicates that the oak grove has the most trees in the 7-to-10-inch DBH range, as opposed to a normal, healthy forest which generally has the greatest density at the smallest size class. Currently, as the forest ages and older trees fall, there are too few smaller trees to replace those that could be naturally lost. The ESA atypical stratification is likely a result of Chinese privet understory growth outcompeting young saplings for sunlight and nutrients. Planting a range of young saplings after Chinese privet removal will allow the mitigation area to have a healthy age stratification and ensure efficient ecological function in future years. Table 3 Age Stratification and Density of Healthy Trees Identified in Mitigation Area During Inventory. Less than 7-10” 18” and 7” DBH DBH 11-17” DBH Greater DBH 20 82 62 18 19 78 59 17 Total 182 173 Quantity Density (trees/acre) The unimpacted Riparian Buffer ESA (approximately 1.028 acre) and Undeveloped Floodplain ESA (approximately 0.546 acre) areas encompass a combined total of 1.057 acre as a result of overlap and will be planted with native trees, shrubs, and grasses. The riparian corridor planting area will be planted with species that mimic the natural riparian woodlands of the East Cross Timbers ecosystem. Containerized (i.e., 5-gallon) trees will be planted in the ESA to achieve a final density of at least 230 live stems per acre. The mitigation area currently contains 173 healthy trees per acre that have a 6-inch DBH or greater. The planting effort will equate to no less than 71 individuals to reach a density of 230 live stems per acre to ensure canopy coverage while avoiding overcrowding. Trees removed within the ESA impact area will be included in the tree mitigation plan fund and will be replaced at a rate of 0.92 to 1. There will be no more than 30 percent of any single tree species planted within the mitigation area. Planting will occur during late fall to mid-winter following Chinese privet removal and planting of herbaceous ground cover. Trees may be overplanted (i.e., greater than 71 individuals) to help ensure the long-term survivability of the woody species within the mitigation area. Hardwood trees to be planted are listed in Table 4. No oak saplings will be planted because numerous mature oak trees are already present in the mitigation area and are likely to take seed once the understory of Chinese privet is removed. Native shrubs will also be planted at a density of 230 live stems per acre and will be planted throughout the site based on requirements for sunlight, drainage, etc. Shrubs will be overplanted (no less than 243 individuals) to allow for expected mortality (Table 5).

The seed mix is intended to aid in rebuilding the stream bank buffer zone. The seed mix will include native species such as Virginia wildrye IElymus virginicus\ , Canada wildrye (Elymus canadensis), inland sea oats (Chasmanthium latifo liu m) , and purpletop tridens (Tridens fIavus) . The native seed mix will contain a minimum of 30 percent Virginia wildrye, 15 percent Canada wildrye, 20 percent inland sea oats, and 15 percent purpletop tridens. The proposed seeding goal is to develop an AESA with a quality, diverse, functioning habitat that will not need additional maintenance beyond the initial seeding. The seed mix will be sown at the recommended amount of 9 pounds per acre in the spring following the Chinese privet management. As the mitigation area is within a riparian buffer that is predominantly an oak grove, shade tolerant species have been selected for planting. The initial seeding will be implemented in conjunction with the hydromulching and involves applying a mixture of water, wood fiber mulch, soil stabilizer, and seed to prevent erosion and provide an optimal environment conducive to plant growth. Areas where the initial seeding fails will be reseeded While the entire region will be planted with shrubs and seeded, due to the dynamic nature of the riparian ecosystem, full coverage of understory species is not expected, and a 40 to 50 percent coverage rate of shrubs and grasses will be considered successful. Data to determine vegetation coverage rates during site visits will be manually collected using appropriate vegetation monitoring and classification techniques, such as total count and point-intercept methods. An initial site visit by IES staff will be performed following the completion of the seeding and prior to the first annual monitoring event. IES will perform additional site visits as necessary during the first annual monitoring period. PUBLIC ACCESS TRAIL AND ADDITONAL PLANTINGS A public trail system currently exists to the north of the project site and coordination with the Homeowners association (HOA) to establish a public trail system to the south is ongoing. As part of the mitigation plan to maximize access and utilization, an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant connecting trail segment will be constructed within the ESA to the west of the drainage channel Appendix A, Figure 6. Construction of the public trail is a permitted use within the ESA subject to the approval of Environmental Services. The trail has been designed to avoid tree removal and the surrounding area will be restored once the trail segment is complete. Restoration within the trail buffer will include seeding the native seed mix outlined above for the mitigation areas throughout the construction zone. The hydromulching techniques utilized throughout the mitigation area will be maintained throughout the trail buffer restoration area and reseeding will take place as necessary to ensure 40 to 50 percent coverage. The trail and surrounding 30-foot buffer will be placed in a public use easement to maximize access and utilization. In addition to the ESA mitigation area plantings, the contractor will seed the southern region between the ESA and Ocean Drive with the native seed mixture detailed above. Portions of the southern region will be graded to instal the public access trail and sewer lines. Following construction, the southern region extending to Ocean Drive wiI be seeded, providing a diverse understory in the currently maintained oak grove. COMPLIANCE WITH AUTHORITIES The City of Denton is the authority over compliance with this AESA mitigation plan. Once the Curve Barrel residential development has been constructed and the AESA mitigation activities have been completed, the City of Denton will be notified that the mitigation activities have been completed. ANNUAL REPORTING The applicant will prepare an annual report each year for three consecutive years, beginning 12 months following the mitigation activities implementation, for the purposes of describing the cumulative mitigation work that has been performed during the reporting period, and to report on the current survivability of the seeding, sapling planting, and preserved forest, as well as the effectiveness of the Chinese privet removal. These annual reports will be submitted to the City for review and comment. Curve Development; CO/ Bear Land Consultants Barrel Strap Residential Project Site – AESA Report 07 September 2023 Page 9 The first two annual reports will contain action items that may include, re-seeding the seed mixtures as needed, removing weeds and invasives from within the seeded areas, re-planting saplings, or removal of construction debris within the ESA. Upon completion of the 3-year monitoring and reporting period, the City of Denton Environmental Services shall inspect the plantings and determine whether a 90 percent tree and shrub survival rate and 90 percent ground coverage has been established and has a reasonable chance of sustained cover. If it is determined that the 90 percent survival rate and ground coverage has been met, and there is no evidence of an increase in invasive plant species, the City will issue the final project acceptance. After city inspection, if more than 10 percent of the total mitigation area coverage is found to be diseased or not having a reasonable chance of sustained cover, or invasive plants have reestablished, the applicant shall be notified to reseed, replant, or clear the problematic areas. If the applicant does not take remedial steps to bring the property into compliance, the City may use all legal remedies to enforce this provision. If changes need to be made to the mitigation plan during the 3-year monitoring period, the City of Denton will be notified prior to making the plan modifications. MAINTENANCE PLAN Riparian Buffer Woods will be maintained differently than all other common area lots. The following specifications will be used for future maintenance contractors that are contracted by the current and future owners and managers of the site. This approach is specified separately due to the environmentally sensitive nature of the riparian corridor. • Mowing – Mowing will be conducted along a 3-foot buffer along the trail only. No mowing will be allowed anywhere in this common area lot other than along the 3-foot buffer of the trail. Mowing will only occur on an as needed basis, not more than weekly during the growing season. The grass will not be mowed lower than three inches in height. • Edging – Edging will only occur along the trail and at the same interval of the mowing. There will be no edging around trees, walls, rock riprap, culvert outfalls, or any other features in this common area lot • Leaf Removal – There will be no leaf removal in this common area lot. • Fertilizer and Pesticide – There will be no fertilizer or pesticide in this common area lot. • Tree Removal – No trees will be cut, trimmed, thinned, raised, or altered without the approval of the City of Dentons specific written permission. • Trash Removal - Trash removal will be conducted on a quarterly basis. Trash will be removed by hand from individuals walking in this common area lot. There will be no vehicles (i.e., ATV, Side-by-Sides, cars, trucks, tractors, or motorized vehicles) used to aid in the trash removal. All trash identified will be picked up by hand and placed in trash bags that will be removed from the site on the day of collection. Trash removed from this common area lot will be disposed of in an approved landfill. • Invasive Species Management – Invasive species shall be managed on an annual basis through an arboricultural consultant. Invasive species will be cut at the base by hand with pruners, hand saw, or chain saw in a manner that does not disturb the soil surface. All invasive plants cut from this common area lot will be removed from the site and disposed of in a City of Denton approved landscape waste recycling facility. Herbicide will be used on a spot treatment (stump treatment) basis using the labeled rate, temperature, and seasonality, of an approved herbicide for that particular invasive species. Invasive species are to be defined by species identified published by the USDA Invasive Species Profiles List: Invasive Species Profiles List 1 National Invasive Species Information Center. • Any ground disturbing activity, such as erosion control or maintenance associated with infrastructure surrounding this common area lot will only occur after designs have been approved by the City of Denton. In the event that the property is sold in the future, the new owners must adhere to the maintenance plan in order to retain the natural state and integrity of the ecosystem. Curve Development; CO/ Bear Land Consultants Barrel Strap Residential Project Site – AESA Report 07 September 2023 Page 10 Regions between the mitigation area and DIA will remain vegetated and Chinese privet may be removed to further prevent re-establishment within the mitigation area. Mowing, fertilizer application, and ground disturbing activities will be minimized within the region between the mitigation area and DIA to serve as a protective buffer. CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL The following lists the criteria for approval of an AESA Plan and the project aspects that meet each criterion. 1.Create, expand, and/ or improve non-impacted areas. The proposed AESA plans to mitigate the impacts to the Riparian Buffer ESA by removing Chinese privet, an invasive species, which improves opportunities for diverse, native vegetation to thrive throughout the existing buffer. Native seed mixtures will be planted to provide a protective ground cover and functional understory strata. In addition, planting a range of native hardwood sapling species to achieve a final density of no less than 230 live stems per acre will diversify the current oak- dominated grove and increase species richness as well as community productivity. 2 Improve encroached habitat and the surrounding environment. The impacted area will be mitigated by removing Chinese privet throughout the remainder of the on- site ESA as well as from non-graded areas surrounding the ESA to prevent reseeding. Impacts will be further mitigated by planting native trees and grasses to improve ecosystem diversity and overal health 3.Create continuity. The impacted area and proposed AESA are located within a larger mapped Undeveloped Floodplain ESA which extends south along the continuation of the drainage. The impact area is a fraction of the overall ESA on site, and the undisturbed ESA on site will be improved. 4.Maximize access and utilization. An ADA compliant pathway will be constructed within the ESAs along the western side of the tributary and a public access easement will be created for the trail and surrounding 30-foot buffer, allowing residents and the public to utilize the amenity. This will maximize open space within the residential complex and allow for community access to the trail system. 5 Create a conservation easement. As most of the ESA will remain intact and improvements will be made to remove invasive species and increase the native habitat, the ESA designation will remain and therefore be subject to use restrictions set forth in the DDC. The mitigation area will be placed in a drainage easement. 6.High quality development. The AESA has been designed to minimize the impacts to the ESA necessary to meet the design standards and infrastructure necessary for the overall development. The AESA proposes to mitigate for the impacts by removing invasive understory growth from within and surrounding the remaining ESA, as well as planting native saplings and seeding throughout unimpacted region to increase diversity and provide native ground cover. As Chinese privet currently dominates the ESA understory, the proposed improvements in the unimpacted region will allow native species to reestablish and enrich the overall quality of the region. As such, the proposed development meets the criteria for approval for an AESA. SUMMARY The proposed impact areas include 0.660 acre within the Riparian Buffer ESA and 0.250 acre within the Undeveloped Floodplain ESA, resulting from the construction of roadways, sidewalks, lots, and utilities necessary for the residential development. The 1.028-acre Riparian Buffer and 0.546-acre Floodplain ESA mitigation areas for Curve Development; CO/ Bear Land Consultants Barrel Strap Residential Project Site –AESA Report 07 September 2023 Page 11 the impact areas will consist of removing invasive Chinese privet from the remaining on-site ESA understory, planting native saplings to increase diversity, and seeding the buffer with native grasses to provide a protective, native ground cover.
