E.I. Ordinance, EDC Comments <br /> March 22, 1989 <br /> Page 3 <br /> DETAILED POINTS <br /> Section 2. Applicability <br /> 2.2.1 If a developer had a 100 acre (or a 2.1 acre) site <br /> • <br /> which he was splitting into lots of less than 2 acres, would <br /> each individual lot be exempted? It seems to hang on what <br /> • constitutes a "project", i.e. whether it is the parcel size <br /> of the individual end product or the starting size of the <br /> parcel. The ordinance needs'to be clearer on this point. <br /> 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 What does "routine" mean? <br /> • <br /> Section 2.2. Environmental Assessment. <br /> This layer is not needed. We believe most applications would <br /> result in a FONSI. We will need extra professional staff to <br /> review projects. (See point above regarding costs.) <br /> Section 2.2.3 Require grading in excess of 40,000 sal. feet, <br /> etc. We believe 40,000 square feet is too small an area to <br /> be the threshold. <br /> Section 2.2.4 "and the like" - This is vague. Does it <br /> include a farmer clearing land and grading for a pasture? <br />
