MEerytime w. went there someboy was. usingr it,» said Hellas. She said it is important that the "breeding, area 'should be maintained or established.» Hellas suggested to the 0MB that construction not be allowed to start between mid-April and mid-August sol as to not disturb the pattern of the wildlife to breed during this period. "My preference is that fences and barriers 'are' established ,before construction occurs," she said. Hellas also, suggested that al the "construction be done at on6 time to Iiniiit the impact of the disturbance on the wildIife.ý «Species sensitive to distur- banc. currently are not known to, b. present... and the species that are present are able to adapt to, this environinent,» se.said., Since 1984, «there hasn't been, any endanqered-,or rare wildlife in the area, she éaid. ;«Ground..nosting. birds and sii1 ,àn~ia1spreferring aid -ield magybe les well represen- ted;,'other species preferring pocnd edge. habitat maLy be bettýer' represented,» she said.

Hellas sadthe degradation of the habitat is the. result of people leaving garbagtires nd shop- pi ngcats in the pond aren. Shiesaid' there may b<.ý lese garbage near the pond if the. development goes ahead because fences and the new subdivision wQuld eliminate easy access tol. the pond area. The final plan- to improve the pond area -would "end up provid- ing bettèr vegeýtation» and it would «increase in, size slightly» with- the addition of trees> and grass, she said.
