loss of privacy (Final EIR, page 5-12). Facts: (Regarding the 107 unit development plan now proposed by the project developer.) 1. Bonde Ridge ("E" Court) The project developer uses two custom lots and one split pad lot to reduce cut slopes. Lots 67 and 79 were "pulled" away from Bernal Avenue saving an existing oak tree that would have been removed with the original plan. The project developer will shorten "E" Court so that the existing ridgeline is not graded for either the street or lots. The final site plan and grading plan will be reviewed with the tentative map. These changes implement Mitigation 5.1.a (Final EIR, page 5-14) reducing the visual impacts to a less than significant level. 2. Old Towne (Windmill Way) Area The developer would develop Lots 46 through 48 and Lot 50 with single-story buildings set well forward on these lots. Lot 49C would likely be a split level one story house in order to conform to natural terrain. Building pads for Lots 46-50 would be set lower than "B" Street, and would be from 12-19' higher than the downslope Old Towne properties' pads. The average depth of Lots 46-50 is 190', enabling very deep rear yards between the houses on these lots and the rear property lines. Lot 49C would keep its natural creek channel. A 10' area of unclear title would be quitclaimed to the downslope property owners and an additional 10' area, with landscaping, from Lots 46-50 would be deeded to them. On this 10' area, the developer would build a maximum 2:1 grade slope up to the new rear property line for Lots 46-50. (The Old Towne lots already have slope banks ranging from 4-8' in height.) The intent of the grading plan is to have an essentially flat, usable rear yard for Lots 46-48 and 50 so that regrading, decks, etc., should not become the issue it has in other subdivisions. With the final map, the developer shall record over lots 46 through 50 a scenic easement or other mechanism to control buildings and landscaping from - 8 -
