The rectangular shaped lot, owned by Paul LaPlante, is approximately 135 feet by 60 feet or 8,100 sq. ft. in area. The lot fronts on Beachcomber Drive, which forms the its eastern boundary, and a residential lot with an existing home forms its southern boundary. The western and northern boundaries adjoin State Park land (Atascadero or Morro Strand State Beach); however, maps also identify a road, Driftwood Avenue, along the western boundary of the lot. Drs. V. L. Holland and/or David Keil conducted biological surveys of the site on January 30, February 10 and 22, and March 4, 2013. The subject lot has a very low species diversity. We only found a total of 16 plant species on the lot consisting of no trees, two shrubs (one native to the site) and 16 grasses and forbs (one native). Of the 16 species on the site, one is native and 15 are introduced. The lot is highly disturbed and is currently covered by anthropogenic (ruderal) vegetation consisting of thick patches of Carpobrotus edulis (ice plant) mixed with a diversity of invasive weedy plants. However, the northwestern portion of the lot extends to the edge of the coastal dune scrub vegetation that covers the stabilized dunes between the subject lot and Estero Bay. The owner, Paul LaPlante, is applying for a permit to construct a single-family home on the lot. A biological study of the lot is required to meet the City of Morro Bay Public Services Department permitting requirements. There are several factors that have greatly reduced the biological significance and wildlife habitat values of this lot. Residential development, paved roads, and heavy human usage of the area reduces wildlife values. The vegetation cover on the lot, which is composed of a large patch of ice plant and introduced, weedy grasses and forbs, does not provide suitable habitat for most wildlife species in this area. All of these factors reduce the biological value and wildlife habitats on the site. The coastal dune scrub west of the subject lot does provide valuable wildlife habitat for a number of species. However, the proposed development will not encroach into this habitat, and the coastal dune scrub near the western boundary of the lot will be fenced to assure no disturbances occur. While we do not believe the Morro blue butterfly or the shoulderband snail occur on or near the lot, we still recommend that the western boundary of the lot where the coastal dune scrub occurs be fenced to assure that the habitat of these species is protected. In addition, we recommend that the lot be searched again for shoulderband snails just prior to construction. If any are found, which we believe is highly unlikely, they should be carefully placed in appropriate habitats in the coastal dune scrub west of the subject lot. BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF 3093 BEACHCOMBER DRIVE, MORRO BAY, CA 4 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE The subject site (APN: 065-120-001) is an undeveloped lot located at 3093 Beachcomber Drive, Morro Bay, CA, which is in an existing residential development in northern Morro Bay, CA (Figures 1 and 2; Photo 1). It is identified as Lot 1, Tract 1124, 12 MB 24, which is part of the Rancho Cayucos Land Grant, in Township 29 South, Range 12 East, Mt. Diablo Base Meridian. The rectangular shaped lot, owned by Paul LaPlante, is near the intersection of Beachcomber Drive and Hatteras Street. It is approximately 135 feet by 60 feet or 8,100 sq. ft. in area. The subject lot fronts on Beachcomber Drive, which forms the its eastern boundary, and adjoins a residential lot with an existing home along its southern boundary. The western and northern boundaries of the lot adjoin State Park land (Atascadero and Morro Strand State Beach); however, maps identify a road, Driftwood Avenue, along the western boundary of the lot (Figure 3). There is a trail approximately 80 feet north of the subject lot that provides access to the State Park lands and the beach along Estero Bay (Figure 2). There are existing homes on the lots along the west side of Beachcomber Drive across the street from the subject lot (Figure 2; Photo 2). The lot is highly disturbed and is currently covered by anthropogenic (ruderal) vegetation consisting of thick patches of Carpobrotus edulis (ice plant) mixed with a diversity of invasive weedy plants (Photos 1 to 3). Weedy plants (ruderal vegetation) also cover the State Park land along the northern boundary of the subject lot (Figure 6 and 7). The northwestern portion of the lot extends to the edge of the coastal dune scrub vegetation, which covers the stabilized dunes between the subject lot and Estero Bay (Photos 1, 4, and 5). The owner, Paul LaPlante, is applying for a permit to construct a single-family home on the lot. A biological study of the lot is required to meet the City of Morro Bay Public Services Department permitting requirements. Drs. V. L. Holland and/or David Keil conducted biological surveys of the site on January 30, February 10 and 22, and March 4, 2013. The results of these surveys are discussed in this report. The purpose of these surveys is to examine the existing flora, vegetation, and wildlife habitat on the parcel. Special attention is given to the presence or potential presence of rare and endangered species and sensitive habitats. During the analysis of the site, the entire lot and areas immediately around it were examined. These areas were carefully searched for the presence or potential presence of sensitive habitats and species of special concern known to occur in the Morro Bay north, and surrounding quadrangles (Table 4).

The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks.

This booklet was prepared with funds from the Forest Service Celebrating Wildflowers program, whose goals are to serve our nation by introducing the American public to the aesthetic, recreational, biological, ecological, medicinal, and economic values of our native botanical resources. By becoming more thoroughly acquainted with local plants and their multiple values, we hope to consequently in- crease awareness and understanding of the Forest Service’s management undertakings regarding plants, including our rare plant conservation programs, invasive plant man- agement programs, native plant materials programs, and botanical research initiatives. This booklet is a trial booklet whose purpose, as part of the Celebrating Wildflowers program (as above explained), is to increase awareness of local plants. The Modoc NF Botany program earnestly welcomes your feedback; whether you found the book help- ful or not, if there were too many plants represented or too few, if the information was useful to you or if there is more useful information that could be added, or any other comments or concerns. Thank you. Forest J. R. Gauna Asst.

  • Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones
    Appendix D Building Descriptions and Climate Zones APPENDIX D: Building Descriptions The purpose of the Building Descriptions is to assist the user in selecting an appropriate type of building when using the Air Conditioning estimating tools. The selected building type should be the one that most closely matches the actual project. These summaries provide the user with the inputs for the typical buildings. Minor variations from these inputs will occur based on differences in building vintage and climate zone. The Building Descriptions are referenced from the 2004-2005 Database for Energy Efficiency Resources (DEER) Update Study. It should be noted that the user is required to provide certain inputs for the user’s specific building (e.g. actual conditioned area, city, operating hours, economy cycle, new AC system and new AC system efficiency). The remaining inputs are approximations of the building and are deemed acceptable to the user. If none of the typical building models are determined to be a fair approximation then the user has the option to use the Custom Building approach. The Custom Building option instructs the user how to initiate the Engage Software. The Engage Software is a stand-alone, DOE2 based modeling program.
