<br />D. Plantings and irrigation systems shall be designed to <br />provide maximum water conservation benefits. An emphasis <br />shall be placed on use of drought-tolerant native plants, <br />with little or no irrigation requirements once <br />established. Aggressive non-native species capable of <br />crowding out native vegetation shall be avoided. <br /> <br />E. Safety considerations shall be emphasized, including <br />selection and placement of plants to allow clear vision <br />at intersections. In particular, clear vision is very <br />important at intersections of the new access street with <br />Sunol Boulevard and Happy Valley Road. <br /> <br />F. Detailed arrangements are needed to guarantee <br />establishment and continued care of plantings, including <br />replacement of plants as needed, reseeding of eroded or <br />disturbed slopes, and general maintenance of landscaping <br />in open space areas. <br /> <br />G. <br /> <br />Provide planting along sound walls, in <br />scenic Highway Plan for 1-680 (see <br />Measure 5.4). <br /> <br />keeping with the <br />also Mitigation <br /> <br />5-3: Refined Gradina Plan <br /> <br />A detailed grading plan shall be submitted in conjunction with <br />a revised site plan. The current grading plan shall be revised <br />as needed to meet city standards, reduce visual impact, and <br />satisfy geotechnical requirements. The plan shall be submitted <br />in conjunction with tentative map application and shall <br />include: <br /> <br />A. Use of grading techniques which relate to natural land <br />contours, with horizontal and vertical variation of <br />slopes. Every effort shall be made to reduce earthmoving <br />requirements and areas of land disturbance. Tops and <br />ends of cut and fill slopes should be rounded, to provide <br />a smooth transition to natural terrain. Small, <br />naturally-contoured slopes should be used in preference <br />to large, geometric shapes. <br /> <br />B. Any landform alteration shall maintain clear sight <br />distances for traffic and non-motorized circulation. <br /> <br />C. Grading and other land alteration for geotechnical or <br />hydrological reasons shall include careful consideration <br />of visual concerns. <br /> <br />Page 5 of 19 <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />- <br />
