5.a.1. ~| The revised plan and project <br /> conditions of approval substantially lessen <br /> these impacts. <br /> <br /> Fact: Elimination of development on upper <br /> south knoll removes area of greatest <br /> cut/fill effects of steepening slopes. <br /> <br /> Fact: "Mass graded" area on central bench is <br /> designed to minimize effects of <br /> landslide repair/pad grading described <br /> above. <br /> <br /> Fact: North knoll grading yields all cut <br /> pads. <br /> <br /> Fact: Project conditions require extensive <br /> geologic and soils testing (including <br /> review of all suggested mitigations) <br /> plus review by City reviewing geologist <br /> prior to approval of final lot location <br /> and grading. <br /> <br /> Fact: The developer's engineering geologist <br /> has stated the project, as revised, can <br /> satisfactorily be constructed given <br /> project site geology. <br /> <br /> 5.a.2. Findinq: The "No Project" alternative <br /> is infeasible and other project alternatives <br /> have similar effects. <br /> <br /> Fact: See 1.a.2 and 3.a.1. above. <br /> <br />5.B. Siunificant Effect: The site has high potential for <br /> moderate to strong seismic shaking and surface rupture <br /> along its eastern edge. <br /> <br /> 5.b.1. FindinO: The revised plan and project <br /> conditions substantially lessen these impacts. <br /> <br /> Fact: The project observes the Calaveras Fault <br /> setback zone established by the project <br /> geologist. <br /> <br /> Fact: Utilities crossing the fault zone are <br /> required to be specially designed. <br /> <br /> Fact: The Building Code requires structures be <br /> built to seismic shaking standards for <br /> this area. <br /> <br />2/2:L/e9 -s- <br /> <br /> <br />
