3.a.2. FindinG: The "Reduced Lot Yield" and <br /> "Mitigated Site Plan" alternatives are <br /> unnecessary because the mitigations included in <br /> the revised plan substantially lessen this <br /> effect. <br /> <br /> Fact: See 3.a.1. above. <br /> <br />3.B. Significant Effect: Short-term visual impact due to <br /> grading. <br /> <br /> 3.b.1. FindinG: The revised plan and conditions of <br /> approval substantially lessen this impact. <br /> <br /> Fact: Most visible grading (upper south knoll, <br /> portions of central bench and north <br /> knoll) has been eliminated. <br /> <br /> Fact: Grading of all but 8 lots will occur <br /> with street improvements, allowing <br /> revegetation to be installed by <br /> developer and minimizing the time <br /> grading's visual effects would occur. <br /> <br /> 3.b.2. Finding: The "No Project" alternative is <br /> infeasible. <br /> <br /> Fact: See 1.a.2. <br /> <br />3.C. Significant Effect: Considerable tree cover would be <br /> removed or potentially damaged. <br /> <br /> 3.c.1. FindinG: The revised plan and conditions of <br /> approval substantially lessen this effect. <br /> <br /> Fact: Tree removal has been significantly <br /> reduced (see 3.a.1.). <br /> <br /> Fact: Woodland habitat areas are largely <br /> avoided in the revised plan. <br /> <br /> Fact: Project conditions and revised <br /> development plan include extensive <br /> measures for avoiding damage to trees <br /> not planned to be removed. <br /> <br /> Fact: A detailed preliminary grading plan <br /> addressing tree protection and <br /> geotechnical requirements is required <br /> with tentative map submittal. <br /> <br /> -/21/s9 <br /> <br /> <br />
