     1. To mitigate the potential impacts related to the disruption of the visual setting of the farmhouse from the surrounding rural agricultural landscape, it is recommended that a landscape plan is developed to include a planted buffer to screen the concrete wall from the heritage property. Where required, fencing must be complimentary and sympathetic to the heritage character of the subject property (e.g. black Clear View fence). Non-sympathetic fencing (e.g. chain link fence) must be avoided. A landscape plan developed by WSP is presented in Appendix C.
     2. To mitigate the potential vibration impacts resulting from nearby heavy traffic, grading, and construction activities, WSP recommends that a qualified vibration specialist be consulted to develop an appropriate vibration monitoring program to avoid or reduce impacts to the structure.
