<br />Resolution No. PC-95-78 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The street system has been limited to that <br />necessary only for access into and through the <br />site. Emergency vehicle access from the northwest <br />portion to the southeast portion of the site will <br />ensure proper emergency services. In addition, the <br />applicant has ensured through easements and street <br />design that access to adjacent properties is <br />possible should future development occur there. <br /> <br />Because many homes are located above 490 feet in <br />elevation, water services must be supplied through <br />a newly-constructed water tank which will be placed <br />at a 770 feet elevation. Sewer services will, for <br />the most part, be through natural gravity flow. <br /> <br />3. The design of the subdivision and proposed <br />improvements will not cause substantial <br />environmental damage or substantially and avoidably <br />injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. <br /> <br />Excess storm water run-off will be directed into v- <br />ditches and storm drains installed as part of the <br />public infrastructure improvements required with <br />project approval. Where possible, natural drainage <br />systems also will transfer storm water run-off into <br />the existing watershed system of Laurel and Gold <br />Creeks. In addition, some storm water caught by <br />storm drains will be discharged into Laurel Creek. <br /> <br />An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for <br />this project. The EIR identified potential <br />significant impacts on vegetation and wildlife, and <br />recommended mitigation measures to off-set these <br />impacts. In accordance with the mitigation <br />measures, a heritage tree study was reviewed and <br />approved by the Design Review Board prior to City <br />Council approval of the final map. Requirements <br />for suitable tree preservation, protection and <br />replacement were included in the PUD conditions of <br />approval. <br /> <br />The EIR mitigation measures were incorporated into <br />the conditions of approval of the PUD and have been <br />addressed by the tentative map, where required. <br />Other mitigation measures included as part of the <br />PUD project approvals have been addressed prior to <br />approval of the final map for Tract 6400, or will <br />be addressed prior to approval of the final map for <br />Tract 6590. Other mitigation measures require <br />continual monitoring (such as restrictions on <br />domestic animal use of natural open space). Other <br />
