available as-built plan work and information regarding existing
streets, public utilities, ponds and creeks. |
| |
|
iv. |
Meet
with City of Denton staff to review findings. |
| |
b. |
Analysis: |
| |
|
i. |
Establish
if a flood plain exists in this area and locate flood plain
limits on the survey. |
| |

| 2. |
Environmental Study (LopezGarcia Group) |
| |
a. |
Vegetative/Habitat Zones |
| |
|
i. |
Prepare general vegetative zone map to indicate plant
communities particularly sensitive to development and construction.
|
| |
|
ii. |
Prepare
a zone map of habitat areas based on vegetation, topography,
hydrology and field observation. This map will
express sensitivity to intervention. |
| |
b. |
General Soil Zones |
| |
|
i. |
This map will indicate erosion and expansion soil types
and will identify likely aquifer recharge zones if they exist. |
| |
c. |
Existing Water Features |
| |
|
i. |
This
will report on the general condition of the water edge regarding
plant life, wildlife and soils. This will be used
to guide pond edge development to
create a low impact. |
| |
d. |
Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination |
| |
|
i. |
Determination if potential wetlands are impacted by
the development and therefore require permit by the
US Army Corps of Engineers. |
| |
e. |
Hazardous Materials Investigation |
| |
|
i. |
A Phase I environmental site assessment and records
search to determine the potential presence of hazardous
materials. |
| |
f. |
Cultural Resources Investigations |
| |
|
i. |
Background information to document any existing cultural
resources (archaeological/historic) on the site. |
| |
g. |
Work
with the F&S/UNT Design Team to comment
on opportunities to integrate
the natural features with the new development. |
| 3. |
Traffic
Study (DeShazo, Tang & Associates) |
| |
a. |
Research and Data Collection Study |
| |
|
i. |
Contact the City of Denton and TXDOT for parameters required
for review and approval as well as future roadway projects. |

in the immediate area. |
| |
b. |
Traffic Impact Analysis |
| |
|
i. |
Compile
results and project the impact of the future development. This
analysis will be conducted
in accordance with the Highway Capacity
Manual. |
| |
|
ii. |
Develop traffic operational improvements to mitigate conditions
that may be below acceptable levels. |
| |
c. |
Analysis of Traffic Access |
| |

i. |
Evaluate existing and potential access constraints and identify
opportunities to address anticipated problems. |
| |
d. |
Analysis of Internal Traffic Circulation |
| |
|
i. |
Assist in the design of the new campus development. |
| 4. |
