CODE states A. An EALS/EALS-ER shall be submitted to the Office of the County Engineer concurrent with a corresponding development review application as provided in Article 2. In the event an EALS/EALS-ER is submitted prior to a development review application, the EALS shall be submitted directly to Zoning. B. The appropriate number of copies of the EALS and supporting documentation shall be submitted to the Office of the County Engineer. C. A fee in the amount established by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners shall accompany the application. The fee schedule is available at the Growth Services Department. D. Provide a narrative of the project's site data including the following: (1) Name of the property owner(s), (2) Name of the project applicant, if different from the property owner, (3) Title of the corresponding project for which the EALS has been submitted, (4) Current Marion County Property Appraiser Office parcel identification number(s), (5) Acreage of the proposed project area, and (6) Acreage of the gross lands held under common ownership including and/or adjoining the project area. E. Provide the results and findings of a field assessment including the following: (1) Date(s) and time(s) of the field assessment, (2) Name of the individual(s) and organization(s) conducting the field assessment with their qualifications, (3) A statement of the methodology used to conduct the investigation of the site, (4) A summary of the published information used to determine the probability of occurrence of listed species on the proposed development or land clearing site, including identifying the agency or organization providing the data. The use of data, as made available by the reviewing agencies, is encouraged. A copy of cited materials, upon request, may be required to support and evaluate the EALS. (5) A map of land use and land cover classifications on the site, and directly abutting the site, using the Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System: A Technical Manual, State of Florida Department of Transportation (FLUCCS), January 1999, as amended. (6) A general map or map series that identifies the following: (a) The project area limits, (b) The adjoining lands under common ownership, if any, (c) The location of current on-site improvements, (d) The location of transects of the interior and perimeter of the site, (e) The location of the habitat types identified by the field assessment, and (f) The approximate placement and location of adjacent off-site wildlife and plant communities in relation to the site. The map(s) may be provided as an overlay on the most recent color aerial photograph which shows the project site. However, the aerial must be at a resolution and scale sufficient to identify the location of current on-site improvements in relation to other data provided in the EALS, and ensure that the information required can be readily identified on the map and verified in the field. (7) An inventory of the wildlife and plant communities as found on the site and observed on adjacent property surrounding the site including: (a) An inventory of the listed species populations within the proposed development site, (b) Size and distribution of native habitat and native vegetation types as specified in Table 6.5-1: Marion County Upland Plant Communities, (c) Character and type of species, such as native or invasive, endangered and threatened, and species of special concern. F. Provide the feasibility and viability of on-site protection and management of native habitats and listed species. G. Provide the location of the site in relation to any existing or proposed conservation areas and wildlife corridors within the project area and the feasibility of maintaining the corridor or conservation area post-development. H. In the event that on-site protection is shown to be ineffective, evaluate other mitigation options, such as relocation of the listed species to an approved location.
APPLICANT requests a waiver to allow for a site inspection and letter from a wildlife professional in lieu of a full EALS. The EALS expired a few days before the initial submittal. Per discussion with Zoning staff, the site inspection will verify if any gopher tortoises have moved into the project area. No other listed species have been documented at the site in previous inspections
