If you completely renovate your plan is sound. The only thing you have not considered is the CC once mature are very likely to reproduce for at least some recruitment. The HBG and HSB should control most of the small CC fry when and if they occur. Without LMB you should be able to sentimentally stock CC in the 4"-6" size group and have good survival rates.
