If applicable, all tortoises determined to be located on site will be either maintained on site or relocated. In addition, burrows located adjacent to the property will be afforded a 25 foot buffer. If applicable, all on-site protection, relocation, and 25 foot buffer burrow protection areas shall be conducted consistent will all Florida Fish and Game Conservation Commission (FWC) regulations and practices. A site engineering permit will not be granted for mass grading FWC permits are obtained and tortoises are relocated as applicable. 2. A five day long (weather permitting) nesting period scrub jay survey of the property shall commence on March 25, 2022, and conclude on March 31, 2022. Scrub jay habitat shall be verified on the property. A site engineering permit for clearing and mass grading shall not be issued until the jay habitat and population have been established. Once jay habitat is determined utilizing best science practice, jay habitat shall not be cleared or altered until requisite permits are secured from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). According to past environmental analysis, there is no scrub jay occupation or usage of the property referred to as Lot 1 of the preliminary plat. This area and a right - of - way will be subject to Condition 7 below. 3. Upon issuance of this Development Order, the applicant may place a 24’ x 60’ construction trailer on site per Sec. 110-819(b) of the City Land Development Code. The construction trailer will occupy an already cleared area of 40’ x 70’ on the property as identified by the March 24, 2022 illustration of staging and silt fence installation. However, to facilitate the location of the trailer, extra land containing no more than 150 square feet can be cleared. The cleared area will not be occupied by gopher tortoises or within a 25 foot burrow protection area. In addition, the 150 square foot cleared area shall not be associated with gopher tortoise burrows or a 25 foot burrow protection radius. The applicant will be responsible for obtaining an on-site construction trailer permit from the City. 4. Upon issuance of this Development Order, the applicant is authorized to store and otherwise stage heavy equipment consisting of no more than 20 land clearing/grading machines and ancillary equipment/vehicles on already cleared land provided the land is not occupied by gopher tortoises or a burrow protection area.
