Resolution No. PC-2002-57 Page 2 Project construction would involve site grading and alteration of existing topography. The results of the geologic/soil study submitted in conjunction with the original PUD development plan indicated that the overall site is suitable for the development types covered by this subdivision. Project construction would be held away from sensitive environmental areas and wildlife species areas. No significant existing drainage courses would be altered. The design of the subdivision and improvements covered by the proposed vesting tentative subdivision map will not cause substantial environmental damage and avoidably injure fish and/or wildlife or their habitat. The geotechnical status of the slopes stability was reviewed and peer- reviewed by geotechnical consultants, the determination being made that the proposed street is on stable land. Identified mitigation measures were incorporated into the project design to achieve stable slope banks and site grading. A portion of the subject property is located in the Alquist-Priolo Study Zone for the Calaveras earthquake fault. No development including grading is allowed to take place within this azea. Grading has been designed to reflect existing topographic conditions, minimize impacts on adjoining properties, and to be consistent with the requirements and geotechnical report recommendations that have been prepazed for the proposed project. Adequate access is provided to all structures for police, fire, and other emergency vehicles. Erosion control and dust suppression measures will be documented in the final subdivision map. Development is kept away from environmentally sensitive areas, e.g., oak woodland azeas, steep hillside areas, and the creek existing creek. 4. The design of the proposed subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The proposed project, including the recommended conditions of approval, meets all applicable City standards pertaining to public health, safety, and welfare, e.g., vehicle access, geologic hazazds, and flood hazards. All public safety measures aze addressed through the design and conditions of approval for the tentative subdivision map. The design of the subdivision or its related improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. Public road connections would be provided to the adjoining Preserve public streets. Public access to the planned pazk property for City maintenance staff and emergency vehicles is provided from Foothill Road and would be provided from Knoll Park.
