r <br />i <br />October 29, 1998 to discuss the preliminary findings from the existing riata search, <br />field surveys, and HCP elements. Additional information needed in support of plan <br />development was collected by SES through April 1999. <br />r Existing Data - Location and Number of Sebastian Hlgjlg ads Scrub Lots Recorded <br />as Occupied or Potentialty occu )ipd_by Florida Scrub <br />During the initial informal consultation period between the FWS, FWC, and the City, <br />of Sebastian in 1991-92, a map was developed by the FWC, in cooperation with <br />the FWS to define the location and number of the Sebastian Highlands lots <br />occupied or potentially occupied by Florida scrub -jays, and thereby subject to <br />development review by the FWS (J. King, City of Sebastian, pers. comm.). An <br />untitled table, presented as Table 1, developed by the City of Sebastian shows that <br />this original mapping encompassed 2030 lots. Of this total number, 553 lots had <br />already been altered to provide residential housing. At some unknown point during <br />this initial informal consultation period, the FWS implemented a blanket release <br />policy for all Sebastian Highlands scrub lots that had been previously cleared and <br />were maintained as grass or contained dense stands of pine trees (J. King, City of <br />Sebastian, pers. comm). A total of 1,204 lots were subsequently released by the <br />FWS under this blanket release policy. Of the 2030 scrub lots originally designated <br />by the FWS and FWC as potentially occupied by scrub -jays, 273 scrub lots of <br />regulatory concern remained after refinement of this original mapping. <br />Based on the data presented in Table 1, the original mapping of the affected <br />Sebastian Highlands scrub lots was revisited by the FWS in March 1995. As a <br />result of this additional review, 119 scrub lots were added to the list, of which 26 <br />were determined to be already developed and nine (9) were released pursuant to <br />the FWS blanket policy. The 1995 map revision resulted in the addition of 84 scrub <br />lots of regulatory concern. The combined 1992 and 1995 mapping data for the <br />Sebastian Highlands scrub lots designated a total of 2,149 scrub lots of regulatory <br />concern, of which 579 were determined to be already developed and 1,213 were <br />subsequently released for development under the FWS blanket policy. <br />The final result of this three (3) year informal consultation process was that <br />residential development activities on 357 Sebastian Highlands lots were identified <br />as subject to incidental take authorization from the FWS. Interim to this time <br />,, period, on May 5, 1994, the FWS issued a letter to the City of Sebastian which <br />defined 184 platted lots in Unit 17 of the Sebastian Highlands which needed to be <br />acquired as part of the regional HCP that was being considered at that time. <br />In a revised list released by the City of Sebastian on July 17, 1995, in response to <br />a June 26, 1995 FWS directive, the number of platted lots identified in the <br />Sebastian Highlands as occupied or potentially occupied by Florida scrub -jays toad <br />increased to 456. This table entitled City of Sebastian Scrub -Jay Areas is provided <br />as Table 2 for review. <br />30 <br />
