Fact: Developer-installed pad grading improves <br /> likelihood of effective implementation <br /> of erosion control plans and hastens the <br /> revegetation of the site. <br /> <br />4.C. Si~nificant Effect: Herbicides and exotic landscaping <br /> species could affect native species. <br /> <br /> 4.c.1. Findinu: The revised development plan <br /> substantially lessens this effect. <br /> <br /> Fact: The revised plan specifies native, <br /> drought-tolerant species for lot <br /> landscaping, calls for a preservation <br /> plan for heritage and other trees, and <br /> specifies a fire management zone plan <br /> which would utilize mowing or other less <br /> ecologically damaging means to establish <br /> fire breaks. <br /> <br /> Fact: The revised plan calls for herbicides to <br /> be selectively used against nuisance <br /> plants (mostly non-natives). <br /> <br /> 4.c.2. Findinu: Practical control of inappropriate <br /> use of herbicides is within the jurisdiction of <br /> another agency and can or should be enforced by <br /> such agency. <br /> <br /> Fact: The Homeowners' Association is in the <br /> position practically to avoid <br /> inappropriate use and/or application by <br /> its contractors and/or members. <br /> <br /> 4.c.3. Findinu: The "No Project" alternative is <br /> infeasible and other project alternatives have <br /> similar effects. <br /> <br /> Fact: See 1.a.2. and 3.a.1. above. <br /> <br /> Fact: Alternatives allowing additional <br /> development on the site have the same <br /> potential to introduce inappropriate <br /> herbicides. <br /> <br />4.D. S~nificant Effect: Off-road vehicles and open fires <br /> threaten fire and destruction of native <br /> plants/animals. <br /> <br /> 4.d.1. Findinu: Project conditions avoid off-road <br /> vehicle use of open space and fire reduction <br /> measures control outside fires to acceptable <br /> locations, if allowed. <br /> <br />2/21/89 -6- <br /> <br /> <br />
