The proposed plan is identified as a mixed product residential neighborhood. The product mix would include single-family alley load, Riverview townhomes, and Riverview lofts. The plan will also include a riverfront park for public access. Land Vision, Inc. will sub-contract with Christopher B. Burke Engineering West Ltd. and Thompson Survey, Ltd. to provide engineering services which include ALTA Survey, Topographic Survey and Preliminary Engineering. Preliminary Plat, Preliminary Engineering and Design/ Development Guidelines will be incorporated into a Request for Proposal which will be distributed to potential development companies. Boundary and Alta Survey This work will be completed by Thompson Surveying Ltd. , as a sub- contractor to Land Vision, Inc. Below is the scope of services for this work: ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey: Thomson Surveying, Ltd.

Also, during the site visit, wildlife and plant community qualities will be assessed. The limits of the wetland community will be field staked so that they can be located in relation to the project coordinate system. The results of the field reconnaissance will be summarized in a letter report. The wetland's generalized quality ratings, according to the Swink and Wilhelm Methodology (1994) , will be included along with exhibits depicting the approximate wetland and project boundaries, National Wetland Inventory, soil survey, floodplain, USGS topography, site photographs and their locations, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Routine On-site Data Forms. If wetlands or waters of the United States are present on the site, we will submit our report to the USACE for a jurisdictional determination. Pin flags delineating the wetland limits will be located with a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) device prior to the report being prepared and submitted to the USACE.
