Resolution No. PC-98-78 Page 2 3. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site. Although a majority of this site is steeply sloping (over 25%), the custom home is proposed to be constructed on the relatively flat front portion of the site. Only minimal grading (maximum 2' cut) would be necessary for the construction of the proposed custom home on this lot. The plan has a similar density to the surrounding developments. 4. The grading takes into account environmental characteristics and is designed in keeping with the best engineering practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding to have as minimal an effect upon the environment as possible. Only minimal grading would be completed as part of the construction of a home on this lot. A geological/geotechnical report has been prepared for the project site and proposed development plan. An updated geotechnical report is also required as part of the conditions for approval. 5. Streets and buildings have been designed and located to complement the natural terrain and landscape. The proposed structure would adhere to the standards and design guidelines of the West Foothill Road Corridor Overlay District which was adopted to ensure homes and developments on the west side of Foothill Road complemented the natural terrain and landscape. The planting of additional trees would help supplement the existing backdrop and soften the view ofthe front of the structure. 6. Adequate public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. All the necessary public safety measures have been incorporated into the design of the plan. An existing hammerhead turnaround has been constructed at the terminus of this private street to provide an access for use by the Fire Department and other emergency services. The future custom home design would also adhere to all the recommendations of the geotechnical study prepared for the site.
