It is currently surrounded by fringe wetlands that you would be required to complete mitigation for impacts if construction occurred in them. I don’t know much about the required setbacks for construction but if they are requiring or requesting you move the dock then I would advise touching base with the watershed protection department in the process. Watershed protection will be the ones that will require mitigation for impacts to the wetland areas and they often aren’t brought into the mix until the end of the process for some reason. If they are already involved then I would advise contacting them to see what their options are. FYI, I have taken a position out of state so I have moved. I am happy to respond and help as I can through email but I’m a couple time zones away so coordination to consult with watershed protection directly for me is impractical.

As the team leader, she asked to be copied on all emails responding to questions about the project. Can you elaborate on the brief discussion we had online regarding the ecological impacts to the wetlands if we move the boat dock rather than rebuilding it where it is? I understand that mitigation will be required in both cases, but is it true that less damage to the wetland vegetation will result if we restrict construction to the current footprint? We appreciate your help! All the best, Sarah Sarah Wigfield- IIDA Interior Designer s workshopno5.com 5409 Woodrow Ave Unit C, Atx 78756 Reinhard, Miranda <Miranda.Reinhard@austintexas.gov> To: Sarah Wigfield < Cc: "vani@workshopno5.com" < >, "Sparks, Kenneth" <Kenneth.Sparks@austintexas.gov> "Davis, Clarissa" <Clarissa.Davis@austintexas.gov> Tue, Mar 26, 2024 at 11:45 AM Thanks for the information and glad we have a plan moving forward to keep everyone on the same page. 1:1 mitigation will be required for both designs. The current proposed designs will be impacts to the wetland CEF setbacks; however, they do not appear to affect the wetland CEFs themselves. Keeping the construction within the existing footprint will have less impact to the existing wetland CEFs on- site. Moving the boat dock will have new impacts to the wetland CEFs themselves and wetland CEF setbacks that would not occur within the existing footprint.
