WILDFIRE MANAGEMENT IMPACT 7.3A: Open space areas adjacent to the proposed houses would create an increasing wildfire hazard over time if left untended. As human occupancy increases in the area, so would the chances of fire as well as the number of people and amount of property value at risk. FEIR page 7-11. Mitigation Measures 7.3-1 and 7.3-2: Prepare a wildfire management plan for the site to reduce the risk of open land wildfires while protecting habitat and other open space values. The plan shall specify ownership, maintenance, use, brush control and fire-resistant landscaping measures, as well as periodic review of these measures, for project open lands. FEIR pages 7-13, 7-14. Findine:: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant effect identified in the Final EIR. Rationale for Finding: The standards of the Wildlife Management Plan will limit the project fire protection impacts by reducing the risk of wildfires. EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS IMPACT 7.3B: Emergency routes may not function effectively for emergency use, due to locked gates. FEIR page 7-11. Mitie:ation Measures 7.3-3 and 7.3-4: Provide information and make arrangements for use of gates in emergencies. Provide a pamphlet for project residents regarding emergency evacuation. Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant effect identified in the Final EIR. Rationale for Finding: The requirements of this mitigation measure will provide the necessary information for emergency routes to function effectively. ACCESS TO OPEN SPACE IMPACT 7.3C: There is a lack of access to open space along the east side of the proposed residential subdivision.
