blocking the reasonably expected views from the <br /> Abbie Street and Windmill Lane lots, adjacent to <br /> Lots 46-50, to Bonde Ridge. <br /> <br /> The extra land, with landscaped slopes controlled <br /> by downhill property owners, should help to <br /> overcome previous problems with lots in this <br /> configuration. Low building pad elevations, one- <br /> story building height, large rear building <br /> setbacks, and landscaped slopes implements <br /> Mitigation 5.1.b (Final EIR, page 5-14) reducing <br /> the visual and privacy impacts to a less than <br /> significant level. <br /> <br />3. Pleasanton Heights (Abbie Street) Area <br /> <br /> The project developer will remove the fill in this <br /> area to lower the proposed building pad elevations, <br /> from 22' to 47', below the floor levels 0f the <br /> existing homes on Abbie Street. Homes on Lots 54 <br /> through 62 which are in the viewshed area of the <br /> Abbie Street homes are limited to one-story models. <br /> One lot was removed from the grouping of lots 54 <br /> through 62 to help maintain the views the Abbie <br /> Street homes have of Bonde Ridge. <br /> <br /> In addition, the developer would grant deed to the <br /> upslope property owners the slope areas of lots 54 <br /> through 62. With the final map, the developer <br /> shall record over lots 54 through 62 a scenic <br /> easement or other mechanism to control buildings <br /> and landscaping from blocking the reasonably <br /> expected views from the Abbie Street lots to Bonde <br /> Ridge. These changes implement Mitigation 5.1.c <br /> (Final EIR, page 5-15) reducing the view impacts to <br /> the Abbie Street homes to a less than significant <br /> level. <br /> <br />4. Bernal Avenue Corridor <br /> <br /> Landscaping and sidewalk design and location would <br /> conform to the Bernal Avenue design guidelines. <br /> New solid walls and fences opposite development <br /> would provide noise attenuation and would match <br /> existing one used along the north and south sides <br /> of Bernal Avenue. Open wood fencing would be used <br /> along the south side of Bernal Avenue opposite open <br /> space areas. <br /> <br /> The solid wall/fence design and location avoids a <br /> "chute-like" appearance -- solid walls on both <br /> sides of the street opposite each other by placing <br /> <br /> - 9 - <br /> <br /> <br />
