The impacts associated with Zone 3 are limited to Southern Maritime Chaparral. The total amount of impact is 0.32 acres. I have discussed this issue with our biologist and have been advised that to date, Zone 3 thinning activities have not been considered biological impacts. However, since there are no other biological impacts resulting from the development of the Hadley property, the proposed project's preservation of over 92% (3.68 acres) of Southern Maritime Chaparral and 100 percent of the Wart-stemmed Ceanothus and Nuttall's scrub oak, would more than adequately mitigate any potential impacts determined to result from selected thinning activity in Zone 3. Our biologist is currently updating her report to include these findings and will submit it to you for review as a part of our resubmittal package. If your have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at your convenience, icerely, Don Rideout Spectrum Communities Wes Witt Anita Hayworth \ "A" STREET O North Scale 1"=40' 60 80 HADLEY PROPERTYPANHANDLE LOT SETBACK AND FIRE SUPPRESSION ZONE LIMITS Jack Henthorn & Associates • 5375 Avcnida Encinas • Suite D • Carlsbad, CA 92008 • PH: (760) 438-4090 FAX: (760) 438-0981
