4. The proposal uses construction techniques %vhich minimize disruption of existing topographv 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. The Planning Director's conclusions are as follows: The proposed development will not create a hazard to the subject property, surrounding properties or rights -of -way, erosion or sedimentation to off -site properties or bodies of water. The geological hazards associated with the site are predominately associated with the uncontrolled fill which has been placed on site. Through development of the site significant amounts of uncontrolled fill will be removed, thereby mitigating many of the potential hazards associated with the site. Best Management Practices as well as erosion control measures should be applied during the construction phase and inspected by GES Inc. prior to any site work preparation. Access in and out of the site should be limited to one point to help with erosion control and the tracking of dirt and mud off site (GES Inc. 3/5/00 & 8/29/04). Development of the site shall be in strict accord with the reports prepared by Geotechnical and Environmental Services Incorporated (GES Inc.). The proposal addresses the existing geological constraints of the site, including an assessment of soils and hydrology. No seepage was noted on site in the most recent test pit explorations performed by GES Inc. Any excavations over four feet in depth should be retained by a suitably designed retaining system and inspected by GES Inc. during site development. All cuts shall be inspected by GES Inc. when first exposed and on a periodic, basis thereafter. The fill currently on site has characteristics which should make it easier for removal, and should be easier to separate. The report prepared by GES Inc. dated March 5, 200') and the supplemental report dated August 29, 2004 shall be the basis for approval of development on site. (GES Inc. 3/5/00 & 8/29/04). 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. Excavation for the building foundation will require significant earth movement and regarding of the site. Site preparation should be observed twice daily by GES Inc. Site preparation should be undertaken only by experienced contractors that are familiar with working around deep excavations and with uncontrolled fills. The earthwork contractor shall be required to read both the main geotechnical report and the supplemental report. The building foundation will bear directly upon confirmed undisturbed natural soil. Bearing soil shall be confirmed by GES Inc. prior to placement of building preparation �J
