Summary
Development services staff told the committee the county needs to buy 0.64 wetland credits and 1,761 stream mitigation credits to secure a core permit for the Herb Farm Road project; staff estimated the purchase would cost $270,365 and be paid from House Bill 170 funds. The committee moved the item to the consent agenda.
Development services staff recommended the county purchase stream and wetland mitigation credits needed to obtain a core permit for the Herb Farm Road project.
"These credits are available, 0.64 wetland credits and 1,761 stream mitigation credits," said the staff member presenting the item, who gave a total cost of "$270,365." Staff told the committee the purchase would come from House Bill 170 funds and recommended approval.
The chair moved the item to the consent agenda. The committee did not take a recorded roll-call vote during the committee meeting; action will be final if adopted on the consent agenda at the next board meeting.
The request reflects a permitting requirement rather than a new policy direction; staff said the expenditure is to secure regulatory compliance needed to proceed with the Herb Farm Road project.
