PLANTING IDEAS
City approves Bellview garden
Garden to be located in flood plane, but that requires
special approval
By Hannah Guzik
Ashland Daily Tidings
April 06,20102:00 AM
Students at the only public elementary school in Ashland without a garden will soon be
able to plant one - as long as neighbors don't appeal the city's decision to approve the
garden, which lies in the flood plane.
The city's planning department approved the Bellview Elementary School garden
Tuesday, to the relief of the school's principal and community organizers, who have
been working on the project for more than a year.
"We really were concerned up until Wednesday that the proj ect may not happen, so we
put all of our plans on hold," Principal Michelle Zundel said.
She hopes students can begin planting organic vegetables and flowers on May Day,
May 1, in the 60-by-90 foot space behind the school building.
"I believe that giving students the opportunity to dig in the dirt helps them become
connected with the natural world, and I think it enhances their knowledge of the way
the world works," Zundel said.
As long as no one appeals the city's decision to approve the garden, Bellview may begin
planting April 13, said Derek Severson, the city's associate planner.
Notices about the garden proposal were sent out to 41 neighbors, who live within a 200-
foot radius of the school, he said. Neither the city nor the school received any criticism
about the garden, Severson and Zundel said.
The garden area will consist of eight to 10 raised beds, a shed, a greenhouse, a compost
bin and tables where outdoor classes can be held, Zundel said.

Because the Bellview field sits in a Federal Emergency Management Agency flood
plane, the garden needed special approval from the city before it could be constructed.
City planners determined that the garden would not negatively affect the area in the
event of a flood, according to planning documents.
"Due to the topographical nature of the property, the fact that the creek is in a culvert
and the distance of the proposed garden area away from the creek channel staff does not
believe that the proposal will have any adverse impact on the environment, the
floodplain or create hazards on downstream property," the city approval report states.
Hamilton Creek flows underneath the Bellview field. Theoretically, a blockage in the
creek at Siskiyou Boulevard could cause flooding at the school, Severson said.
Zundel hopes all Bellview's students will become involved in the garden, she said. A
reading specialist at the school, Rebecca Gyarmathy, plans to start an after-school
gardening club for interested students, Zundel said.
It's possible that vegetables grown in the garden could be used in school lunches,
Zundel said. District officials will manage food service operations next year, ending a
five year contract Sodexo Inc.
"Wouldn't that be wonderful ifkids could eat what was grown here?" Zundel said.
The Ford Family Foundation, which is not associated with Ford Motor Company,
helped organize the project and raise money for it. About 30 community members in the
foundation's leadership group, including Mayor John Stromberg and Oregon
Shakespeare Festival officials, worked on the garden project, said group member Robert
Casserly.
The foundation donated $5,000 toward the garden, and the leadership team raised more
than double that amount, soliciting contributions from businesses, nonprofits and locals.
Organizers are still requesting donations, which can be sent through the Ashland
Schools Foundation, Casserly said.
"The more donations, the bigger and better garden we can build," he said.
Community members will help maintain the garden in the summer, when students are
not in school, Zundel said.
"We're so grateful that this is happening and that people have come together to support
it, and that the planning department was swift to remove barriers to allow the garden to
be built," she said.

DECISION
The subject property, the Bellview School site, is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of
Siskiyou Boulevard and Tolman Creek Road. The property is irregularly shaped, comprising
approximately 9.68 acres, and is zoned Single-Family Residential (R-I-5). Existing site improvements
consist of school buildings, playgrounds, vehicle parking and athletic fields. The properties to the west
across Tolman Creek Road are zoned Employment (E-l) and Single Family Residential (R-I-5); the
properties to the north are zoned R-I-5; to the east is zoned Employment (E-l) and Industrial (M-l); and
to the south properties are zoned High Density Multi-Family Residential (R-3).
Hamilton Creek, a local stream and a Riparian Preservation Creek, is culverted beneath the athletic fields
on the eastern portion of the Bellview School site and daylights near the property's northern boundary.
The proposal is construct a classroom garden area and garden shed within the area identified by FEMA
as the Hamilton Creek Floodplain Corridor. The garden area is for the Bellview Elementary School
students as a learning center with the theme of "Growing Growers". The proposed garden area is 60-feet
by 90-feet, and approximately 6,052 square feet of area will be altered to create the garden. According to
the Physical and Environmental Constraints section of the code Development is defined as: Alteration of
the land surface by earth-moving activities such as grading, filling, stripping, or cutting involving more
than 20 cubic yards on any lot, or earth-moving activity disturbing a surface area greater than 1,000 sq.
feet on any lot.
Because the segment of the creek on the school property is culverted and has been for some time, it is
not identified on the adopted Physical and Environmental Constraints map as containing Riparian
P A #20 10-00266
1070 Tolman Creek Rd./ADG
Page I
Preservation lands, however, the property is identified on Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) maps dating to the 1980's as containing Floodplain Corridor Lands.
As stated previously, Hamilton Creek is culverted under the property and the area of proposed work is
approximately 120-feet away from the day-lighted creek. The property does slope downhill gradually in
the general direction of the floodplain toward the northern property line. Staff is proposing a condition of
approval that silt fencing be installed along the north-eastern boundary of the project area during the
excavation and site preparation stages to catch any potential disturbed soil or siltation that may occur.
Due to the topographical nature of the property, the fact that the creek is in a culvert and the distance of
the proposed garden area away from the creek channel staff does not believe that the proposal will have
any adverse impact on the environment, the floodplain or create hazards on downstream property.
Additionally, in accordance with Chapter 18.62.070 and Chapter 15.10 of the Ashland Municipal Code
for Floodplain Development, the garden shed, arbor with gate and planter boxes will be located more
than five feet above the Hamilton Creek stream channel.
The criteria for a Physical Constraints Review Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.62.040.1,
as follows:
1. That the development will not cause damage or hazard to persons or property upon or adjacent
to the area of development.
2. That the applicant has considered the potential hazards that the development may create and
implemented reasonable measures to mitigate the potential hazards caused by the development.
3. That the applicant has taken all reasonable steps to reduce the adverse impact on the
environment. Irreversible actions shall be considered more seriously than reversible actions.. The
Staff Advisor or Planning Commission shall consider the existing development of the
surrounding are, and the maximum permitted development permitted by the Land Use
Ordinance.
4. That the development is in compliance with the requirements of the chapter and all other
applicable City Ordinances and Codes.
The application with the attached conditions complies with all applicable City ordinances.
Planning Action 2010-00266 is approved with the following conditions. Further, if anyone or more of
the following conditions are found to be invalid for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action 20 10-
00266 is denied. The following are the conditions and they are attached to the approval:
1) That all proposals of the applicant shall be conditions of approval unless otherwise modified here.
2) That silt fencing shall be installed along the northeastern perimeter of the project area in accordance
with manufacturer's recommendations, prior to site disturbance or grading that may cause erosion
into- e floodplain.

PROJ'ECT NARRATIVE
THE BELLVIEW GARDEN PROJ'ECT ORIGINATED OUT OF ASHLAND'S FORD FAMILY
LEADERSHIP CLASS OF 2009. IN 2007-2008, SANDRA SLATTERY OF THE ASHLAND CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE, APPLIED FOR A GRANT FOR THE FORD FAMILY FOUNDATION, BASED IN
ROSEBURG, TO DO LEADERSHIP TRAINING IN ASHLAND. AFTER THE CHAMBER'S EFFORTS
SOLIDIFIED THE GRANT, A DIVERSE GROUP OF 30 LEADERS WERE CHOSEN TO RECEIVE
THIS TRAINING. AT THE END OF THE PROCESS A PROJ'ECT WAS SELECTED TO BE
ACCOMPLISHED BY THE CLASS. THE LEADERSHIP CLASS, WORKING FROM THE THEME OF
"GROWING GROWERS" SELECTED A GARDEN FOR BELLVIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THE
ONLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN ASHLAND WITHOUT A GARDEN.
THE BELLVIEW GARDEN HAS A SOLID DESIGN, GREAT COOPERATION WITH THE SCHOOL AS
WELL AS BELLVIEW'S PTA, AND THE ASHLAND SCHOOLS FOUNDATION. APPROVAL OF THIS
PERMIT IN A TIMELY MANNER WILL ALLOW THE PROJ'ECT TO MOVE FORWARD AND GIVE
BELL VIEW THIS INCREDIBLE LEARNING TOOL FOR THIS PLANTING SEASON AND FOR THE
FUTURE. IT WILL ALSO RESTORE A PREVIOUSLY NEGLECTED PORTION OF THE
PLAYGROUND FOR SCHOOL USE.
SITE HISTORY
BELLVIEW SCHOOL WAS ANNEXED INTO THE CITY IN 1964. LATER, HAMILTON CREEK,
ADJ'ACENT TO THE SCHOOL, WAS CULVERTED AND THE RAVINE FILLED RESULTING IN THE
CURRENT PLAYGROUND. THE PLAYGROUND HOUSES A RUNNING TRACK, SOCCER FIELD,
TWO BASEBALL BACKSTOPS AND AN OPEN PLAY-FIELD. THE CURRENT SITE IS
COMPLETELY FENCED ON THE SOUTH, AND EAST SIDES AND IS BOUNDED BY THE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON THE WEST. A FOUR FOOT HIGH FENCE EXISTS 50 TO 65 FEET IN
FROM THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE AS WELL AS AN OLD FIELD FENCE ALONG THE NORTH
PROPERTY LINE. IN 2009 THE SCHOOL WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT, (PLANNING ACTION
PA2007-0l941) WITH SITE APPROVAL IN 2008. A COMPREHENSIVE MAPPING OF THE SITE
AND AN OVERLAY OF THE FEMA MAP WAS INCLUDED IN THAT APPROVAL.
SITE
THE PROPOSED GARDEN AREA IS APPROXIMATELY 60 FT BY 90 FEET WITH A 34 FOOT
LONG ANGLED SOUTH WEST CORNER. THE FENCED GARDEN AREA WILL BE 6052 SQUARE
FEET OCCUPYING A PORTION OF THE EAST SIDE OF THE PLAYGROUND, INSIDE THE
EXISTING FENCING. THE GARDEN WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 55 FEET FROM THE NORTH
PROPERTY LINE AND ALONG THE EAST PROPERTY LINE FENCE. THE GARDEN WILL BE 25
TO 30 FT ABOVE THE CUL VERTED CREEK AND 120 FEET FROM THE CREEK CHANNEL. THE
GARDEN SITE CURRENTLY HAS AN UNEVEN SLOPE TO THE NORTH EAST OF BETWEEN 5 AND
9%, AND IS COVERED BY A MIXTURE OF GRASS AND WEEDS WITH BLACKBERRIES AROUND
THE FENCE LINES. THERE ARE NO TREES ON THE GARDEN SITE. THE PROPOSED SITE OF
THE GARDEN LIES APPROXIMATELY HALF IN THE 100 YR FLOOD PLAIN AND HALF IN THE
500 YEAR FLOODPLAIN. THE GARDEN LOCATION WAS CHOSEN BY THE SCHOOL IN AN
EFFORT TO USE THE EXISTING PLAYGROUND WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH THE OTHER
USES OF THE PLAYGROUND AND TO USE THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AT THE SITE.

PROJ'ECT NARRATIVE
COMPLIANCE WITH CHAPTER 18.62:
BASED ON THE LAND CLASSIFICATION FROM THE ASHLAND LAND USE ORDINANCE,
CHAPTER 18.62.050.A.1; THE GARDEN IS REQUIRED TO HAVE A PHYSICAL AND
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS REVIEW PERMIT FOR DEVELOPMENT IN FLOODPLAIN
LANDS FROM CHAPTER 18.62.070: "Development Standards for Flood plain Corridor Lands".
THE PLAYGROUND PROPERTY FALLS UNDER 18.62.050.A.1. THE ENTIRE PLAYGROUND LIES
INSIDE THE 100 YEAR AND 500 YEAR FLOOD PLAINS AS SHOWN ON THE 1981 FEMA FLOOD
INSURANCE RATE PROGRAM, (1981 FIRM), MAP. HOWEVER IT IS OUTSIDE THE SCALED 100
YEAR FLOODPLAIN FROM THE FEMA COMMUNITY PANELS 410090 0003 B, (EFFECTIVE DATE
J'UNE 1,1981), AND COMMUNITY PANEL 415589 0537 B, (EFFECTIVE DATE APRIL 1, 1982). A
PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS REVIEW PERMIT IS NEEDED TO COVER THE
FENCING, STRUCTURES AND FILL USED IN THE GARDEN AREA.
THE APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE CODE ARE HIGHLIGHTED BELOW:
18.62.050 Land Classifications
The following factors shall be used to determine the classifications of various lands and their
constraints to building and development on them:
2. All land within the area defined as Flood plain Corridor land in maps adopted by the Council
as provided for in section 18.62.060.
3. All lands which have physical or historical evidence of flooding in the historical past.
18.62.070 Development Standards for Flood plain Corridor Lands
For all land use actions which could resul t in development of the Flood plain Corridor, the
following is required in addition to any requirements of Chapter 15.10:
A. Standards for fill in Flood plain Corridor lands:
1. Fill shall be designed as required by the International Building Code and International
Residential Code, where applicable.
2. The toe of the fill shall be kept at least ten feet outside of floodway channels, as defined
in section 15.10, and the fill shall not exceed the angle of repose of the material used for fill.

BELL VIEW SCHOOL GAROl::I~
PROJ'ECT NARRATIVE
a. Poured concrete and other materials necessary to build permitted structures on the lot.
b. Aggregate base and paving materials, and fill associated with approved public and private
street and driveway construction.
c. Plants and other landscaping and agricultural material.
d. A total of 50 cubic yards of other imported fill material.
e. The above limits on fill shall be measured from April 1989, and shall not exceed the above
amounts. These amounts are the maximum cumulative fill that can be imported onto the site,
regardless of the number of permits issued.
4. If additional fill is necessary beyond the permitted amounts in (3) above, then fill materials
must be obtained on the lot from cutting or excavation only to the extent necessary to
create an elevated site for permitted development. All additional fill material shall be
obtained from the portion of the lot in the Flood plain Corridor.
5. Adequate drainage shall be provided for the stability of the fill.
6. Fill to raise elevations for a building site shall be located as close to the outside edge of
the Flood plain Corridor as feasible.
B. stream crossing for streets, access or utilities of any waterway or stream identified on the
official maps adopted pursuant to section 18.62.060 must be designed by an engineer. stream
crossings shall be designed to the standards of Chapter 15.10, or where no f100dway has been
identified, to pass a one hundred (100) year flood without any increase in the upstream flood
height elevation. The engineer shall consider in the design the probability that the crossing
will be blocked by debris in a severe flood, and accommodate expected overflow. The crossing
shall be at right angles to the stream channel to the greatest extent possible. Fill for stream
crossings shall be kept to the minimum necessary to achieve property access, but is exempt
from the limitations in section (A) above.
C. Non-residential structures shall be flood-proof to the standards in Chapter 15.10 to one
foot above the elevation contained in the maps adopted by chapter 15.10, or up to the
elevation contained in the official maps adopted by section 18.62.060, whichever height is
greater. Where no specific elevations exist, then they must be flood-proofed to an elevation
of ten feet above the stream channel on Ashland, Bear or Neil Creek; to five feet above the

PROJECT NARRATIVE
D. All residential structures shall be elevated so that the lowest habitable floor shall be
raised to one foot above the elevation contained in the maps adopted in chapter 15.10, or to
the elevation contained in the official maps adopted pursuant to section 18.62.060, whichever
height is greater. Where no specific elevations exist, then they must be constructed at an
elevation of ten feet above the stream channel on Ashland, Bear, or Neil Creek; to five feet
above the stream channel on all other Riparian Preservation Creeks identified on the official
maps adopted pursuant to section 18.62.060; and three feet above the stream channel on all
other Land Drainage Corridors identified on the official maps adopted pursuant to section
18.62.060, or one foot above visible evidence of high flood water flow, whichever is greater.
The elevation of the finished lowest habitable floor shall be certified to the city by an
engineer or surveyor prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the structure.
E. To the maximum extent feasible, structures shall be placed on other than Flood plain
Corridor Lands. In the case where development is permitted in the Flood plain corridor area,
then development shall be limited to that area which would have the shallowest flooding.
F. Existing lots with build-able land outside the Flood plain Corridor shall locate all residential
structures outside the Corridor land, unless 50% or more of the lot is within the Flood plain
Corridor. For residential uses proposed for existing lots that have more than 50% of the lot in
Corridor land, structures may be located on that portion of the Flood plain corridor that is
two feet or less below the flood elevations on the official maps, but in no case closer than 20
feet to the channel of a Riparian Preservation Creek identified on the official maps adopted
pursuant to section 18.62.060. Construction shall be subject to the requirements in paragraph
D above.
G. New non-residential uses may be located on that portion of Flood plain Corridor lands that
equal to or above the flood elevations on the official maps adopted in section 18.62.060.
Second story construction may be cantilevered or supported by pillars that will have minimal
impact on the flow of floodwaters over the Flood plain corridor for a distance of 20 feet if it
does not impact riparian vegetation, and the clearance from finished grade is at least ten
feet in height. The finished floor elevation may not be more than two feet below the flood
corridor elevations.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
H. All lots modified by lot line adjustments, or new lots created from lots which contain Flood
plain Corridor land must contain a building envelope on all lot(s) which contain(s) build able
area of a sufficient size to accommodate the uses permitted in the underling zone, unless the
action is for open space or conservation purposes. This section shall apply even if the effect is
to prohibit further division of lots that are larger than the minimum size permitted in the
zoning ordinance.
I. Basements.
1. Habitable basements are not permitted for new or existing structures or additions located
within the Flood plain Corridor.
2. Non-habitable basements, used for storage, parking, and similar uses are permitted for
residential structures but must be flood-proofed to the standards of Chapter 15.10.
J. storage of petroleum products, pesticides, or other hazardous or toxic chemicals is not
permitted in Flood plain Corridor lands.
L. Decks and structures other than buildings, if constructed on Flood plain Corridor Lands and
at or below the levels specified in section 18.62.070.C and 0, shall be flood-proofed to the
standards contained in Chapter 15.10.
Compliance With Chapter 18.62.070
Development Standards for Flood plain Corridor Lands
PROPOSED SIGHT IMPROVEMENTS WILL CONSIST OF REMOVING THE EXISTING GRASS,
AND BLACKBERRIES, AND GRADING THE CURRENTLY UNEVEN TERRAIN TO ALLOW FOR
DRAINAGE, PATHWAYS, AND THE PLANTING AREAS. GRADING OF THE SITE MAY REMOVE
AND REDISTRIBUTE UP TO 110 YARDS OF FILL AND VEGETATION IN THE GARDEN AREA.
Monday, February 22, 2010
Pg. 6 of 9
BELL VIEW SCHOOL GARDe,"
PROJ"ECT NARRATIVE
THE ONLY FILL THAT WILL BE ADDEO TO THE SITE WILL BE THAT REQUIRED TO REPLACE
THE EXISTING FILL THAT WILL BE REMOVED WITH THE GRASS REMOVAL AND SITE
GRADING, AND THE TOPSOIL ADDEO IN THE PLANTING AREAS. THERE MAY BE SOME
LOCALIZED FILLING OF LOW AREAS BUT THIS, COMBINED WITH THE GRADING OF THE
HIGH SPOTS, SHOULD RESULT IN NO NET INCREASE IN ELEVATION OR IMPACT TO THE
FLOODPLAIN. NO WORK WILL BE DONE IN THE FLOODWAY CHANNEL. ADDITIONAL
TOPSOIL WILL BE ADDEO TO THE PLANTING AREAS AS WELL AS CHIPPED WOOD FOR THE
PATHWAYS, ALL MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE AGRICULTURAL MATERIAL IN SECT.
18.62.070.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS WILL INCLUDE EIGHT TO TEN WOOD FRAMED RAISED BEDS, AN
AT-GRADE PLANTING BED, A COMPOST BIN, A SMALL TOOL STORAGE SHED AND A DEER
FENCE ON THE REMAINING UN-FENCED SIDES OF THE GARDEN AREA. THERE WILL ALSO BE
A SMALL OPEN GATHERING AREA AND AN ARBOR WITH SIGNAGE AT THE ENTRANCE TO
THE GARDEN. THE SITE WILL HAVE ITS OWN MORE EFFICIENT IRRIGATION SYSTEM
SEPARATE FROM THE FIELD IRRIGATION THAT IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE.
THE RAISED BEDS WILL BE ROUGHLY THREE FEET WIDE, 12 FEET LONG AND 12 INCHES
HIGH. ONE MAY BE ELEVATED ABOVE GROUND LEVEL IN AN EFFORT TO BE ADA
ACCESSIBLE. THE COMPOST BIN WILL BE WOOD FRAMED WITH FOUR INCH SQUARE
WELDED WIRE MESH BACK AND SIDES. THE TOOL STORAGE SHED WILL BE TWELVE FEET
LONG AND SIX FEET DEEP WITH AN OVERHANGING ROOF TO ALLOW FOR COVERED
STORAGE FOR LARGER ITEMS, (WHEELBARROWS, CARTS ETC). WATER EXISTS AT THE SITE
AND AN UNDERGROUND SYSTEM CONSISTING OF HOSE BIBS, DRIP CIRCUITS, AND BATTERY
OPERATED TIMERS WILL BE PUT IN PLACE. THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY AT THE GARDEN
SITE AND NO FUTURE PLANS FOR SUCH. ALL STRUCTURES WILL BE ANCHORED IN SUCH A
WAY AS TO NOT BREAK LOOSE IN A FLOOD EVENT, SECT. 15.10.080
ALL NEW FENCING WILL BE BUILT INSIDE OF THE EXISTING FENCED PLAYGROUND. THE
NEW FENCING WILL BE SIX FOOT CYCLONE FENCING WITH THREE STRANDS OF WIRE
ABOVE TO A HEIGHT OF 7-1/2 TO 8 FEET. THE THREE STRANDS WILL BE ADDEO TO THE
EXISTING SIX-FOOT CYCLONE FENCE ON THE EAST PROPERTY LINE AND TWO FEET OF
FENCING PLUS THE THREE WIRES WILL BE ADDEO TO THE NORTH FENCE. ONLY ABOUT
FIFTEEN FEET OF NEW FENCING WILL BE ADDEO IN THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN AND THIS
FENCE WILL BE BUILT PARALLEL TO THE STREAM CHANNEL, MINIMIZING ANY IMPACT IF
FLOODING SHOULD OCCUR. SINCE THE BASE FLOOD ELEVATION IS ASSUMED TO BE ONE
FOOT, INCREASING THE FENCE HEIGHT ABOVE WHAT IS EXISTING HAS NO EFFECT ON THE
100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN. THE SITE IS AN EXISTING FENCED PLAYGROUND; THE EFFECTS
ON NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES WILL BE NEGLIGIBLE. THE EXISTING FENCE, REQUIRED TO
ENCLOSE THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PLAYGROUND, WILL BE THE SIGNIFICANT
OBSTRUCTION IN THE FLOODPLAIN.

PROJ"ECT NARRATIVE
2. That the applicant has considered the potential hazards that the development may create
and implemented measures to mitigate the potential hazards caused by the development.
That the applicant has taken all reasonable steps to reduce the adverse impact on the
environment. Irreversible actions shall be consider more seriously than reversible actions. The
staff Advisor or Planning Commission shall consider the existing development of the
surrounding area, and the maximum permitted development permitted by the Land Use
Ordinance.
THE BELLVIEW GARDEN PROJ"ECT HAS TAKEN ALL THE STEPS AVAILABLE TO MINIMIZE ANY
NEGATIVE EFFECTS THAT COULD RESULT FROM THE GARDEN. THE GARDEN AREA HAS BEEN
MOVED AS FAR AS POSSIBLE OUT OF THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN AND STILL NOT
CONFLICT WITH THE OTHER USES OF THE PLAY FIELDS. THE GARDEN WILL REMOVE
MUCH OF THE INVASIVE BLACKBERRIES THAT HAVE TAKEN OVER PARTS OF THE PLAY
FIELD, AND WILL MORE EFFICIENTLY USE THE WATER THAT IS CURRENTLY USED TO
IRRIGATE THE PLAY FIELDS AND THE BLACKBERRIES. THE REGRADING OF THE FIELD WILL
NOT SIGNIFICANTLY RAISE THE SOIL LEVEL IN THE lOa-YEAR FLOOD PLAIN AND MAY
ACTUALLY REDIRECT SURFACE WATER INTO THE SOILS BY REMOVING SOME OF THE
COMPACTED FILL AND REPLACING WITH MORE PERMEABLE SOILS.
THERE ARE NO EXPECTED POTENTIAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF
THIS GARDEN. NONE OF THE ACTIONS TAKEN ARE CONSIDERED IRREVERSIBLE. THE
GARDEN DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADJ"ACENT PARCELS. THE EXISTING
BASELINE ZONING OF THIS PARCEL IS R1.5, (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL 5000 SQ. FT.
MINIMUM LOT SIZE). DEVELOPMENT AT THIS LEVEL WOULD HAVE MUCH MORE IMPACT
THAN THIS GARDEN.
