Resolution No. PC-99-45 Page 2 reviewed and accepted by the City Engineer. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project design to achieve stable slope banks and site grading. The project developer would provide a pubic street/private driveway and infrastructure including water, storm, and sanitary sewer lines to the connections provided in the Happy Valley Specific Plan. 2. The plan is consistent with the City's General Plan. The Happy Valley Specific Plan designates the subject property for Semi-Rural Density Residential, Municipal Golf Course, and Open Space Land Uses with a maximum density of 12 units for the overall site. The Specific Plan was developed to implement the City's General Plan for the Happy Valley area and has been found by the City Council to be consistent with the General Plan policies including development outside 100-year flood zone areas, development on stable soils, construction (future) of semi-custom homes, densities consistent with surrounding properties, preservation of open space, protection of wildlife habitat, and mitigation of drainage impacts. 3. The plan is compatible with previously developed properties in the vicinity and the natural, topographic features of the site: The proposed project has incorporated numerous provisions to integrate the design of the streets and future home sites with the planned golf course, open space areas, and with the surrounding area. Proposed public and private streets have been situated in a manner which is consistent with the Happy Valley Specific Plan. Ample setbacks are provided from the lots and streets to the existing creek channels to maintain and preserve these courses. The project will comply with the EIR mitigation measures to save as many heritage size trees as possible throughout the development and to mitigate any such removal through tree replacement and/or possible tree relocation. 4. The proposed development plan is compatible with the natural, topographic features ofthe site. The proposed grading has been designed to be consistent with the Happy Valley Specific Plan requirements and geotechnical reports and recommendations that have been prepared for the development. The proposed grading plan generally follows the natural contours. Split-pad and contour graded lots are used to reduce the amount of graded area and/or to produce graded building sites following natural topography.
