Re: Shawn Ralston's comments for River Pointe Phase 2
• Recommend the use of Low Impact Development (LID) techniques in
coordination with required stormwater management techniques. LID techniques
could include: a constricted wetland, bioretention areas (rain gardens), pervious
pavement, vegetative buffer strips, and a green roof.
• Recommend minimizing the amount of impervious surfaces for roadways and
parking.
• Recommend incorporating the wetland area as a passive recreation and
environmental educational location. Due to the unique area in which this
development is being proposed, the developer can incorporate educational signage
in the wetland area for future residents.
• Recommend placing the wetland area into a conservation easement.
