Work shall be done under the supervision and <br />inspection of James R. Finley of Geotech Consultants, Inc. or his designee. <br />2. A letter must be provided at the time of building permits that the plans have been <br />reviewed by Geotech Consultants, Inc. and are consistent with the recommendations <br />In the report. <br />3. Special inspections of grading and foundation per 1701.5 State Building Code (1997 <br />Edition) is required. Also, additional inspections during construction of the site as <br />recommended by the report are required. Coordinating and documenting Inspection <br />approvals is the responsibility of the Applicant.

Subsection 37.080.E requires a 25-foot buffer from the top <br />and toe of these slope areas. Subsection 37.080.0 allows the Planning Director to authorize the <br />alteration of a slope and their buffers if he/she approves a geotechnical report which <br />demonstrates that: <br />1. the proposed development will not create a hazard to the subject property, surrounding <br />properties or lights -of -way, erosion or sedimentation to off -site properties or bodies of water; <br />and <br />2. the proposal addresses the existing geological constraints of the site, including an <br />assessment of soils and hydrology; and <br />3. the proposed method of construction will reduce erosion potential, landslide and seismic <br />hazard potential, and will improve or not adversely affect the stability of slopes; and <br />4. the proposal uses construction techniques which minimize disruption of existing topography <br />and natural vegetation; and <br />5. the proposal is consistent with the purposes and provisions of this O•dinance; and <br />6. the proposal mitigates all impacts identified in the geotechnical report; and <br />L <br />
