Alternative 4 -Environmentally Superior Alternative Description Alternative 4 would reduce the number of lot from 98 to 51. The lots would be situated generally along streets that are generally similar in alignment to Street "A" and Courts "1" through "4" in the Original Project. Lot sizes in Alternative 4 would range from 30,290 square feet to 90,834 square feet, with an overall average of about 48,460 square feet. Two balance fill areas would be established for the placement of excess soils generated from grading the roads and lots. This alternative is similar to the Original Project but differs from the Original Project in the following ways: • The Original Project would have 98 lots. Alternative 4 would have 51 lots. The average lot size would nearly double, from 0.60 acres per lot under the Original Project to 1.13 acres under Alternative 4. • With 51 units, Alternative 4 would not require one court and would substantially shorten the main access street. • The fill of ephemeral streams is estimated to be reduced from 2,708 lineal feet for the Original Project, to 145 feet for Alternative 4. Disturbance of seeps would also be reduced, from approximately 2,000 square feet for the Original Project to less than 1,200 square feet for Alternative 4. • The proposed 6.5-acre neighborhood park would not be included in Alternative 4. The staging area will remain, and regional and local trails would be provided in the publicly-owned open space area. • In case of fire or other emergency, the Project will have three rather than two accesses. One access point will be Hearst Drive, another will be a fire road and the third will be from the north, via the Grey Eagle Estates subdivision. The fire access road would connect from the City's existing water tank on the southwest section of the site to the end of the cul-de-sac by Lot 51. The other would connect to the existing City public access easement within Grey Eagle Estates and then would head to the north towards Grey Eagle Court. It would be configured as an entrance-only route for public safety vehicles from the Grey Eagle Estates subdivision to Oak Grove. • One of four detention basins required in the Original Project would not be required in Alternative 4. • The elimination of some development areas and roadways results in a smaller development footprint for this alternative.
