It is important to note that the scope of the study does not provide the detail <br /> necessary to facilitate contours for final development, but does provide guidance for the area. <br /> There are several obstacles that could inhibit broad scale changes in final reclaim grades including the <br /> existing transmission towers, cell towers, and existing roadway systems primarily on the southerly <br /> portion of the study area. The re-location of these transmission lines and towers should be examined as <br /> the property around it develops, given the challenges with grading around these areas. Another <br /> inhibiting factor is the multiple adjacent property owners as well as the varying degrees of reclaiming <br /> and property use. Without a common understanding and partnership between the property owners, <br /> both public and private, it may be difficult to accomplish broad scale grade changes throughout the <br /> study area.The grading plan provided with the report does take into consideration the proposed <br /> roadways as well as the stormwater management areas. To provide a more thorough final reclaim <br /> grading plan, further discussion with the stakeholders in the study area will be necessary. <br /> Recommended final reclamation grades are shown on Figure 24. A zoomed in version of the southern <br /> area of the same map is shown in Figure 25. <br /> 46 <br />
