ENB Region 8 Completed Applications 08/06/2003

The applicant proposes to construct a 61 lot subdivision on a 47 acre property, called Wood Harbor Estates, which is located between Bay Road (County Rd. 16) and Maple Drive in the Town of Webster, Monroe County. The entrance on east side of Bay Road is located 510 feet north of the intersection of Bay Road and Wood Meadow Way.  The project will disturb approx. 0.67 acres of the 3.02 acres of federal wetlands located on the site, most of which are associated with three Class C streams whose channels bisect the subdivision. The streams are tributaries of Shipbuilders Creek. The project requires an individual permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act. The applicant proposes to create approximately 1.18  acres of seasonally flooded forested wetlands as mitigation for the federal wetlands disturbed by the project.

The applicant proposes to construct a 2,868 square foot two story retail building on Rt. 96 within the 100 ft. adjacent area of NY State Freshwater Wetland VT-2(II).  Alternatives have been explored to minimize the intrusion within the adjacent area.  A wetland mitigation plan has been conceptually approved by Department staff.  This plan would involve excavation of an existing pond at the Lehigh Crossing Park wetland area.  The pond will be modified to improve water depth and habitat diversity for the benefit of wetland flora / fauna and the public. The project is located northeast of Pittsford-Victor Rd. and the Lehigh Valley Railroad in the Town of Victor.
