L1 2. the proposal addresses the existing geological constraints of the site, including an assessment of soils and hydrology; and 3. the proposed method of construction will reduce erosion potential, landslide and seismic hazard potential, and will improve or not adversely affect the stability of slopes; and 4. the proposal uses construction techniques which minimize disruption of ixisting topography and natural vegetation; and 5. the proposal is consistent with the purposes and provisions of this Ordinance; and 6. the proposal mitigates all impacts identified in the geotechnical report; and 7. all utilities and access roads or driveways to and within the site be located so as to require the minimum amount of modification to slopes, vegetation or geologically hazardous areas. CONCLUSIONS: The following conclusions are based upon the buffer enhancement planting plan and the findings of the geotechnical report prepared by Geotech Consultants, Inc. 1. The proposed slope enhancement planting plan will result in the revegetation of 12.5 feet of the buffer area with native type plants that will aide in the retention of the steep slope area and provide a more suitable buffer than the existing maintained lawn. In accordance with the geotechnical report, water from roof runoff, slormwater and foundation drains will be collected and directed to a suitable outfall located away from the slopes. 2. The report states that because the site slopes are mostly covered with large trees and dense underbrush, there are little if any signs of soil instability apparent on or near the steep slope within the property, and competent, native soil likely exists at a relatively shallow depth on the western side of the property and that the proposed 23-25 foot setback for the residence is adequate. 3. The report states that the excavation and site should be graded so that surface water is directed off the site and away from the tops of the slope. Final site grading in areas adjacent to the house should I`e sloped at least 2 percent away from the building, except where the area is paved. 4. Standard construction techniques will not adversely affect the existing topography and grass vegetation of the site than w iat is necessary to construct the proposed residence. The applicant is required to provide erosion and sedimentation controls before and during construction. 5. The proposal will be consistent with the purpose and provisions of the City's Zoning Code if the applicant complies with all conditions of this approval and other required City codes not specifically listed herein. 6. There should be no impacts if the geotechnical report is followed.
