c. That any grading to be performed within the project boundaries takes into account the environmental characteristics of that property, including but not limited to prominent geological features, existing stream beds and significant tree cover, and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides or flooding and to have as minimal an effect on said environment as possible as shown on grading plan Exhibit B on file with the Planning Division and as required by conditions 3, 8, 11, 14, 15, 16, 31, 32, 33, 37, 38, 39, 40, 53, 54 and 74 set forth in the attached Exhibit I. d. That streets, buildings and other man-made structures have been designed and located in such a manner as to complement the natural terrain and natural land- scape as shown on the development plan for the project on file with the Planning Division; and in addition, that existing roads will be used to reach the upper portions of the project; that seventy percent (70%) of the lots are not visible from the valley floor; and that as required by conditions 2, 34, 35, 36, 42 and 48, protection of natural terrain and features is afforded. e. That adequate fire safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan including conditions 5, 18, 22, 27, 28, 41, 44, 46, 47, 55, 58 and 64. f. That the plan conforms to the purpose and intent of the Hillside Planned Development District in that: (1) Sixty-one percent (61%) of the site has been left in natural open space contiguous to the open space areas in previously approved hillside developments; (2) The project utilizes many approaches not found in conventional flatland projects such as common open space, clustered parking areas, narrower than normal streets, housing sites clustered in developable areas, and requirements for houses to conform to the existing terrain; (3) Grading has been minimized by clustering developed areas, utilizing already in place road cuts, and requiring individual house construction to minimize cuts and fills; (4) Storm drainage has been designed to eliminate erosion or flooding problems and will solve existing problems in the area;
