I I <br /> i <br /> With the proposed modification, we have an opportunity to do things better. To <br /> recognize the environmentally sensitive areas on the property as described in the <br /> Unified Development Ordinance as "Primary Open Space Areas" (Orange <br /> Couty UDO Section 7.12.C.1). Primary Open Spaces are areas that include <br /> streams and wetlands, areas of steep slopes, natural areas, and wildlife habitats <br /> which we are proposing (See Exhibit D above). While the existing open space <br /> was easy to delineate and transfer it included significant areas that had been <br /> clear cut for a 150' power easement running west to east through the open space <br /> and stands of immature scrub pine. Little to no streams, wetlands, or steep <br /> slopes were included. Please refer to photographs taken of the power easement <br /> that runs through the existing open space labeled Exhibit F. Alternatively, the <br /> open space proposed as part of this modification is the same 25 acres of land, <br /> but it does not include the expansive power easement and does include the <br /> streams, steep slopes and environmentally sensitive areas that are now <br /> considered Primary Open Spaces. Please see the photographs of areas within the <br /> currently proposed open space labeled Exhibit G. <br />
