Proposed Conditions. The planned mitigation and restoration efforts involve restoring the site to the pre-pine plantation/historical communities. Specifically, efforts entails the restoration3 of approximately 4,170 acres of wetlands and 860 acres of uplands within the BPMB to the historical natural vegetation communities discussed below. Table A-3 presents the pre and post vegetation communities and acreages; To the extent possible, the rehabilitated BPMB will contain the indigenous vascular plant and wildlife species that are characteristic of these communities as they occur throughout the coastal counties of the region on similar soils and at similar elevations above sea level. To attain success, the rehabilitated communities will resemble reference communities with respect to life form distribution, vertical stratification, overall plant size, species abundance, and patterns of dominance, and will substantively conform to the descriptions below. The rehabilitation will concentrate on three levels of diversity: (1) landscape mosaic, (2) plant community structure, and (3) plant species composition. This section provides a synopsis of the communities that are proposed for rehabilitation within the BPMB.
Proposed Conditions. Cypress flats, also termed wet prairie, herb bog, wet savannah, or grass- sedge savannah, are flat, poorly drained communities that support a sparse and widely spaced canopy of pond cypress (Taxodium ascendens) and occasionally swamp tupelo (Nyssa biflora), slash pines (Pinus elliottii), and other hydric trees. Characteristic species tolerate both flooding and extensive dry periods. Plant composition varies with soils, fire regime, and hydroperiod. The ground cover is dense, diverse, and species-rich, particularly with monocots. Beakrush species and other members of the Cyperaceae are dominant, abundant and prolific. Hydrophytic shrubs and trees are absent, widely scattered, or confined to the ground cover as coppice sprouts. Occasionally, isolated pines establish on xxxxx xxxxxx with improved aeration and represent small distinctive and isolated flatwood “islands” within this community. In wetter areas, pond cypress, black gum, sweet bay, and red maple may establish as isolated patches or coppicing groups. The community type and its species are fire dependent. Existing Conditions. Hydric pine plantation, mesic pine plantation, and cypress swamp.
Proposed Conditions. (a) Layout, width and approximate grades of all new streets and right-of-ways such as alleys, highways, easements for sewers, water mains, and other public utilities.
Proposed Conditions. The tenant, Crossfit Middletown, is a fitness establishment that provide strength and endurance training. The space has been used for fitness establishments since a lease was approved by the Commission for that space in 2012. Staff Recommendations Staff recommends a favorable report considering:
Proposed Conditions. Purchaser shall conduct harvest of subtidal geoduck using the vessels, divers and transport vehicles listed in Attachment 2 of this Exhibit B, Plan of Operations and in accordance with the specifications in Attachment 1. The estimated weekly harvest volume is approximately [ ] pounds, with harvested geoducks being offloaded at [ ]. Purchaser will moor Harvest Vessels at: Vessel Name Moorage Name Address Phone
Proposed Conditions. The proposed improvements include constructing a right turn lane on the northwest corner of the intersection of Pin Oak Road and Katy-Xxxxxxxxx Road within the proposed ROW. Includes right-turn lane, signal pole relocation, ramp/crosswalk adjustment and inlet relocation, and right-of-way map preparation (one parcel from Pin Oak Homeowners Association). Basic Services Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Engineering, (VSE) has been engaged to provide professional engineering services to manage the project through design, bid, and construction phases. The scope also includes survey, traffic signal, subsurface utility engineering (XXX), and utility coordination support services. The design phase will include the development of bid-ready plans, project manual, and specifications, including quantity take-off and estimated construction cost, identification of utility conflicts in plan view, tabulated utility conflict list with the recommended resolution, and bidding sheet. The design phase deliverables will consist of bid-ready construction plans and contract documents per the Fort Bend County (COUNTY) Mobility Bond Design Manual. The bid phase will include attending the pre-bid meeting, preparation of necessary addenda to address issues or clarifications and VSE will revise the construction plans as needed to reflect the addenda issued during the bid period and submit final construction plans to COUNTY. The construction phase will include attending the pre-construction meeting, reviewing submittals, RFI’s, substantial completion walkthrough, and preparing record drawings. The anticipated project schedule to complete the study and design phase is included as Exhibit B. The design phase, bid phase and construction phase will be performed per the current County Mobility Bond Design Manual. VSE proposes the basic services shown below:
