y that is professionally accepted and applied. Among the species anticipated to be located on the site are the Florida scrub jay, gopher tortoise, gopher frog, Florida mouse and eastern indigo snake. ° The clustered development shall preserve 80% of the scrub habitat as part of an intact contiguous natural system and include the critical habitat needed to maintain viable populations of the listed species on-site. To the extent environmentally and economically feasible, development sites shall be selected to avoid occupied habitat in order to minimize the need to relocate threatened and endangered species . ° Access roads shall be constructed and located to avoid impacts to wildlife . In particular, access roads shall be designed to minimize any effect they may have as barriers by employing road design standards which take into account natural features and wildlife habits. Such design standards shall include, but are not limited to: minimum pavement width and shoulders; one-way roadways wherever possible, minimum swales; orientation to minimize use by animals as resting/sunning areas; reducing speed limits to under 30 miles per hour; and signage to remind users to be watchful of wildlife . ° The development pattern shall be designed to allow prescription burning of the preserve area; however, see below. ° A habitat management plan shall be prepared and approved for the scrub preserve prior to final development approval that a. includes a schedule for prescription burning in stages over time to ensure viable habitat remains for the listed species at all times. A prescribed or controlled burn is the preferred management method. In the event that excessive smoke would prevent a burn permit from being issued, then mechanical clearing of some vegetation prior to the prescribed burn would be the next best alternative to pursue. The last alternative is mechanical clearing and no use of fire. Any mechanical clearing of vegetation must avoid disturbing the soil to the extent that it affects the re-establishment of the scrub habitat, and be includes a schedule for removing exotic or intrusive plants that would displace the scrub habitat, and c . provides for management of listed species consistent with applicable local, state and federal laws, and d. prohibits and prevents domestic pets from freely roaming within the preserve, and e. prohibits construction activities and prescribed burns that would interfere with active Florida scrub jay nests during the Florida scrub jay nesting season (March 1 through June 30) , and f . includes the responsible entity for implementing the habitat management plan and includes a legally binding instrument to provide assurances of financial and institutional ability to carry out the management plan, and g. provides for monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of the management plan and make revisions as necessary. ° The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission will be requested to help develop and approve the habitat management plan.
