plan (submitted November 30th) was considered on December 1St, this home site was <br /> once again within the 100' setback and the Council failed to act by moving it out of the <br /> ridge setback. <br /> The proposed location of this home on lot 32 is in direct violation of Measure PP and <br /> must be removed from the project. <br /> Homes on 25% Slope <br /> The development, as proposed, has multiple areas for houses and roads in areas with <br /> slopes greater than 25%, which is in violation of PP. One such area was exempted by <br /> Staff because it was claimed that the slopes were man-made and not naturally occurring. <br /> While PP does not have such an exemption, the more significant issue is that much of the <br /> proposed exempted area is actually natural slopes. <br /> The issue of the proposed homes on these slopes exceeding 25%were addressed in my <br /> July 10th, 2014 letter in response to draft EIR, and each of my subsequent letters to the <br /> Planning Commission. In the EIR. my comments were dismissed because the slope map <br /> was generated by a licensed engineer and therefore was assumed to be correct. However, <br /> the slope, as generated by the licensed engineer, did indeed show the entire area as being <br /> greater than 25%. <br /> The pretense that this particular area is viable for development is based on the idea that <br /> the slope exceeding 25% was created 100 years ago when the barn was built. This <br /> concept has been debunked multiple times. <br /> Figure 11: Existing Barn <br /> Olive trees r <br /> • <br /> s <br /> Slope in of ve g o - 5'0 " <br /> •,max �•• ° _�- <br /> - .,..,R Area of previously graded slope <br /> ' _ _ <br /> w/ <br />
