From a geotechnical engineering standpoint, the report states that the proposed development <br /> can be constructed as planned, provided that the conclusions and recommendations contained <br /> in the report are incorporated into the project design and grading. The report further <br /> recommends that "Fill slopes should be keyed and benched into the hillside and should include <br /> a subdrain." The report also recommends supplemental investigations be performed for each <br /> proposed residence when specific house plans become available. A condition of approval has <br /> been included that requires the applicants to comply with the recommendations listed in the <br /> geotechnical report. A copy of the report is attached as Exhibit B. <br /> Photosimulations <br /> The Specific Plan requires that a visual analysis be created with the development plan review. <br /> Photomontages of the proposed project have been prepared by the project architect, Gorney & <br /> Associates. As the homes would be designed based on the design criteria specified in the <br /> proposed design guidelines, it is hard to predict the exact details of a future home. To prepare <br /> the visual analysis, Gorney &Associates used building shells as sample homes. A stepped, <br /> two-story house of approximately 7,588 square feet in size was used for Lot 1 and a two-story <br /> house of approximately 6,734 square feet in size was used for Lot 2. The building shell used <br /> for Lot 1 had a building height of approximately 24 feet at the "upper slope" side, and a building <br /> height of approximately 34 feet at the "down slope" side. The building shell used for Lot 2 had <br /> a building height of approximately 30 feet. <br /> Viewpoints of the sample homes were taken from various locations as shown in the aerial on <br /> the following page. In response to the comments from the Planning Commission workshop, an <br /> additional photosimulation of the proposed development was taken from the residence at 750 <br /> Pietronave Lane (Proudfoot's site). As it was not made clear at the work session in terms of <br /> what additional viewpoints are needed from Silver Oaks Lane, staff consulted with the <br /> Commission Chair and was instructed that, since design specific photosimulatins would be <br /> required as part of the future home design review process, no additional viewpoints would be <br /> needed from Silver Oaks Lane at this time. <br /> PUD-84 Planning Commission <br /> Page 17 of 23 <br />
