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.
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.
a.) Re-establishment: The manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of a site with the goal of returning natural or historic functions to a former wetland. Re-establishment results in rebuilding a former wetland and results in a gain in wetland acres; and b.)
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 (SUE), 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:
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.
(b) Approximate dimensions of and areas of lots.
(c) Proposed building lines.
(d) Approximate radii of all curves and length of tangents.
(e) Approximate location and area of property proposed to be dedicated for public use or to be reserved by deed covenant for use of all property owners in the subdivision with the conditions, if any, of such dedication or reservation.
(f) Location and description of street lights and their wiring system.
(g) Covenants and Condominium or Homeowners Association Documents.
(i) A draft copy of any proposed protective covenants whereby the subdivider intends to regulate land use in the proposed subdivision shall accompany the preliminary plat. The proposed covenants shall be subject to review and approval by the Village Attorney as to form.
(ii) A Draft Copy of any proposed condominium or homeowners association declarations, covenants, or other documents shall accompany the preliminary plat. These documents shall include the information specified in Section
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
Proposed Conditions. The discussion about the proposed structure must include the following items: • Proposed structure type (TX prestressed concrete girders, box beams, slab-spans, multiple box culvert, etc.) • Proposed structure width, number of lanes, offset to rail, etc. • Proposed structure span length configuration • Proposed skew of abutments and xxxxx, or skew of culvert • Proposed rail type • Proposed low chord (bridges) • Type of proposed wingwall (culverts) • Freeboard based on the design storm (bridges) and why it should be necessary • Basis for the allowable headwater and through-bridge velocity • Proposed velocity/scour control measures (i.e., concrete riprap, etc.) • Proposed upstream or downstream channel grading, if applicable Water Surface Profiles and Velocity Data • Include a table comparing existing and proposed (or corrected existing and proposed) WSELs and channel velocities for the channel cross sections used in the analysis. • For studied zones with a floodway, include a table comparing existing and proposed floodway WSELs. Also include floodway widths. • Provide a discussion of the tabulated results and describe if there are any adverse impacts to properties upstream or downstream of the site due to proposed construction.
Proposed Conditions. The proposed alignment will run from X Street in the north tying into an existing sidewalk without disturbing the curb ramp and runs parallel to the HCFCD channel. Drainage will be limited to updating a cross culvert and keeping the existing conditions (no drainage study required). The second half of the trail runs along a pipeline easement which has several pipelines which was to be investigated by SUE Level A and B. The proposed alignment is that area is to be placed away from the pipelines and will try to avoid any crossings as much as possible. The design is to adhere to the latest Harris County 2023 Specs.
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 recommends a favorable report considering:
