24
25 4. ,Mitigation for Direct and Indirect Hydrologic Impacts
26
z7 The potential direct and indirect hydrologic impacts on Lynch Creek will be minimized by
zs incorporating the following design and management measures into the Final Subdivision Map and
29 PUD Development Plan (also see Plant Life, 4.C.):
30
31 4.1 Improvements shall generally be placed a minimum of 50 feet from the existing top of
32 bank, and a minimum of 20 feet from the current edge of the riparian canopy drip line,
33 whichever is greater except as reflected on the attached "Exhibit 1". This area will
34 constitute a stream buffer zone for protection of. water quality; riparian vegetation;
35 upland habitat for sensitive species; from effects oferosion, compaction, fill; from
36 intrusion into the riparian canopy; and protection of the riparian zone water budget.
37 Improvements shall generally not be permitted within this stream buffer zone.
38 Exceptions are storn~ drainage stnsctures, unpaved maintenance accesslpathways,
39 pedestrian bridges and bank stabilization structures.
40
41 4.2 The stream buffer zone described in Mitigation 3.C. (4.1.) above will be entirely
az fenced to separate residential units from the creek corridor to prevent encroachment
43 and shall be designed and installed to permit emergency maintenance access. This area
as can be maintained as a mowed grassed access way (unpaved) with occasional plantings
45 of native trees and shrubs at the edges. The fencing shall consist of a minimum 4' tall
46 chainlink or welded wire fence pursuant to the City's Mitigation/Open Space Fencing
47 Standard or approved design alternative located at the edge of the riparian vegetation
48 (as reflected in the May 1996 aerial photo on file with the City of Petaluma) and a
49 more decorative fence of the developer's design acceptable to the Site Plan and
5o Architectural Committee (SPARC) may be placed at the outside (street side) of the
51 stream buffer zone. Said fencing shall be included with the improvement drawings for
4
Reso. 97-8G NCS Page 4 of 21
1 staff review and approval prior to Final Map approval (Phase 1) and installed prior to
z issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
3
4 4.3 The pedestrian crossings will be located, designed and constructed as described under
5 Plant Life (4.C).
b
7 5. Mitigation for Water Quality Impacts
8
9 The potential water quality impacts from construction and application of landscape chemicals in
to managed landscapes and residential yards proximate to Lynch Creek shall be minimized through
11 the following design and management measures which shall be incorporated into the Final
12 Subdivision Map, in submittals to the City, and as conditions of approval.
13
14 5.1 The stream buffer zone shall be landscaped with grasses and native plant species shall
15 be established within the minimum setback; as described in Mitigation 3.C. (4.1.)
16 above. This stream buffer zone will serve to filter and absorb chemical constituents in
17 site sheet flows runoff moving toward the stream channel and provide a zone for
18 rainfall infiltration next to the creek channel.
19
zo To minimize soil erosion and sediment discharge to Lynch Creek, the following design and
21 management measures shall be incorporated into the Grading Plan and Erosion Control Plan
22 submittals.
23
2a 5.2 Prior to construction, the applicant shall obtain coverage under the State of California
25 General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for
26 construction activities (General Permit) and develop and .implement a Sto~n Water
27 Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), subject to review and approval by the City and
28 Regional Water Quality Control Board.
29
30 5.3 A comprehensive urban runoff control program will be needed to mitigate potential
31 residential non-point source water quality effects of the project during and following
3z construction. To achieve this the project applicant shall develop a specific storm water
33 management plan (SWMP) for the project. At a minimum, the plan shall: (1) identify
34 specific types and sources of storm water pollutants; (2) detenrnne the location and
35 nature of potential impact; and, (3) specify appropriate control measures to eliminate
36 any potentially significant impacts to receiving water quality from storm water runoff.
37 Typical urban residential control measures may include the incorporation of vegetated
38 buffer strips separating the development from Lynch Creek and Washington Creek,
39 public education, incorporation into the City's street sweeping program, concrete
4o stamps at storm drain inlets with "No Dumping; flows to the Petaluma River" or
41 equivalent, and other design or source control management practices as appropriate,
az to mitigate potential water quality effects.
43
as 5.4 Pesticides and fertilizers shall not be applied to public landscape areas, or any
a5 maintenance access-way during the rainy season (October-April). Landscape
46 maintenance and management of these areas shall follow the procedures outlined m
47 Restoration Design and Management Guidelines for the Petaluma River
48 Watershed Vol. II Maintenance.
49
50 5.5 The drainage plans submitted as a part of the Improvement Drawings shall require the
51 installation of permanent signs (concrete stamps at storm drain inlets or equivalent) at
5
Reso. 97-86 NCS .Page 5 of 21
1 drop inlets to the public storm drain system. The sign at the inlet shall read "No
2 Dumping, Flows To The Petaluma River" or equivalent) and shall be installed prior to
3 acceptance of improvements.
4
5 6. Mitigation For Creek Maintenance
6
7 To provide for flood control, stream bank stabilization, and riparian vegetation and landscape
8 maintenance, the following design and management measures shall be shown on the final
9 improvement plans submitted for Final Map approval.
10
i l 6.1 Hydraulic capacity of Lynch Creek through the site shall be insured through formation
12 of a Landscape/Hydraulic Maintenance Assessment District, and through institution of
13 a maintenance agreement with SCWA and/or the City of Petaluma.
14
15 Maintenance and management of Lynch Creek through the project site shall be
16 completed following the Restoration Design and Management Guidelines for the
17 Petaluma River Watershed, Vol. II. Maintenance.
18
19 Along-term maintenance and management plan shall be prepared and submitted as a
20 component of the Landscape Plan (see Plant Life,. 4.C.) pnor to Final Map approval.
21 All requirements identified as needed in Year One shall be implemented.
22
23 6.2 Access for maintenance and emergency response shall be provided through an access
24 way located 20' beyond the current drip line of the riparian vegetation. Single-loaded
25 roads fronting the creek can provide this access. In these cases the inner edge of the
zb roadway fill shall be set back a minimum of 20 feet from the outside drip line of the
27 riparian canopy, consistent with mitigations in this section (Water, 3.C.).
28
29 7. Mitigation for Impacts on Wetland Hydrologic Functions and Values
30
31 As discussed in Questa's report (Exhibit "A"), and as observed by Jones & Stokes
3z .Associates per their letter and Exhibit presented to Council on March 7, 1997, there
33 appeaz to be areas of the site where construction is proposed which may be considered
3a to be jurisdictional wetlands as defined by the Army Corps of Engineers. The
35 preliminary wetlands jurisdictional determination for the project should be confirmed
36 with the Corps of Engineers. If the features discussed under the Hydrology -Impact
37 Analysis section Exhibit "A" prove to be jurisdictional wetlands then the mitigation
38 preference shall be to avoid them (particularly fill under riparian canopy) by modifying
39 the roadway alignment to avoid fill placement. Avoidance is accomplished by the
ao setback and stream buffer zone requirements in mitigations 4.1 and 4.7 (except for
41 storm drains and pedestrian bridges). If avoidance is not possible, such as the potential
42 marginal wetlands identified by Jones and Stokes in the vicinity of Lots 204 - 206, then
43 a mitigation and monitoring plan shall be prepazed, acceptable to the Corps of
44 Engineers. If sensitively designed, these elements may likely be installed under the
45 provisions of a Nationwide Corps permit.
46
47 8. Mitigation for Washington Creek
48
49 The final Subdivision Map for Willow Glen shall include a 20 foot set back measured
50 from the top-of--bank to the curb line of Sylvia Lane and behind Lots 77 and 83 in
51 order to provide land azea for riparian restoration per General Plan policy and Corona-
6
Reso. 97-86 NCS Page 6 of 21
1 Ely Specific Plan requirements, and allow access for creek maintenance and
2 management. This would require moving Sylvia Lane a sufficient distance to the north
3 to achieve the 20 ft. dimension, and reconfiguring Lots 77 and 83.
4
5 This 20 foot setback shall be planted with clusters of native trees and shrubs, with 30'
6 wide openings between clusters to allow for maintenance access. The landscape plan
7 for said setback area shall be submitted for SCWA and SPARC review and approval
8 prior to Final Map approval. Alternatively, to meet Specific Plan restoration
9 requirements for Washington Creek, the applicant may prepare and implement. a
l0 restoration plan (including wetlands mitigations) for the portion of the creek (both
11 sides)adjacent to Willow Glen prior to City acceptance of Final Map improvements
12 (first phase) installed with adjacent phase. The restoration plan_shall be prepared by a
13 licensed Landscape Architect expenericed in creek ripanan restoration, and shall
14 include hydraulic analysis as specified.in the Restoration Design and. Management
15 Guidelines for the Petaluma River Watershed, Vols. 1 and 2.
16
17 9. Letter of Map Revision (CONK)
18
19 If deemed applicable by the Flood Plain Administrator, the applicant shall file for and
20 obtain a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) from FEMA prior to the
21 recordation of the Final Subdivision Map. If deemed applicable by the Flood Plain
22 Administration, the applicant shall file for and obtain a Letter of Map Revision
23 (CONK) from FEMA prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any lot
24 within the 100-year Floodplaln of Lynch Creek.

3o e) Filtration of any stormwater runoff to reduce potential for introduction of stormwater
31 contaminants into the riparian corridor; and maintain surface area rechazge for subflow.
32
33 Pursuant to the Questa report, the stream buffer zone will generally extend a minimum of 20
34 feet beyond the outer edge of the existing riparian zone canopy. In most cases, this is within
35 the 50 foot total stream buffer zone as measured from top-of--bank. The outer edge of the
36 Lynch Creek riparian zone canopy will be defined as the outer most edge of the drip line as
37 indicated by the tree drip line on the 1" = 100'± scale Aerial Photographs (Sheets F3 and F4)
38 dated May 9, 1996, and on file with the City of Petaluma; and taking into account
39 photographic distortion. Figure 3 of the Questa report, summarizes the stream buffer zone
40 and recommended uses and restrictions within this stream buffer zone.
41
42 Staff has reviewed these recommendations and performed detailed site reconnaissance and
43 evaluation. Based upon these evaluations, the stream buffer zone as reflected on Exhibit 1 is
44 recommended. Development within this zone is limited to vegetation restoration, pedestrian
as and bicycle path construction and protective fencing.
