The SAMP allowed Segale to develop an area -wide plan <br />for alteration and mitigation of sensitive areas that results in improvements to water quality, fish and <br />wildlife habitat and hydrology beyond those that would occur through the strict application of the <br />provisions of TMC 18.45, the City's sensitive areas regulations. The sensitive areas and their corresponding <br />buffers identified as "Native Growth Protection Areas" will be permanently protected with easements <br />recorded against such property. The Native Growth Protection areas are called Sensitive Area Tracts on the <br />proposed plat. Mitigation work in Wetland 10 and 11 has been completed. Also, Johnson Creek has been <br />relocated. This work is under the monitoring period. Off -site channel work is still under construction. <br />5 <br />23 <br />
