likely to create environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure
wildlife or their habitat because mitigation measures and conditions have

improvements are not likely to cause serious public health problems because
urban improvements exist or will be installed based on applicable local,
State, and Federal requirements.

improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at
large, for access through or use of the property within the subdivision in that
none presently exist and access is provided within the project and to
adjacent public streets.
