Northeast Creek 30. The developer shall submit a revegetation plan for the area around the northeast creek for review with the tentative map. The purpose of this plan shall be to reestablish native plant vegetation along the slopes leading to the edge of the creekbank in order to enhance this riparian habitat and to prevent any future erosion of the channel due to surface runoff. This revegetation plan shall be developed with the assistance of a biologist and shall include a plan for the future maintenance of this vegetation as well as the drainage channel. 31. The developer shall have his consulting engineers and biologist reexamine the extent of erosion of the creekbed area and evaluate possible remediation to stabilize the banks and prevent further erosion. This evaluation and possible methods for stabilizing the creekbed shall be submitted for review with the tentative map. The developer shall be responsible for completing the remediation and other creek improvements approved with the tentative map. 32. The northeast creek and adjacent open space area shall be owned and maintained by the project's homeowners association. The developer shall prepare a schedule of the required annual maintenance of all the project's open space areas which includes the requirements of the biologist for the creekbed area and those of the City's wildfire management plan for this area. This maintenance schedule shall be incorporated into the project's CC&Rs. The homeowners association shall be responsible for the completion of this scheduled maintenance as well as any other maintenance or repairs to the creekbed deemed necessary by the City Engineer. The City shall be granted a right-of-entry and maintenance easement to this area for the purposes of completing emergency repairs if required. The revised site plan shall show the location and design of an access driveway extending from the Independence Drive EVA to this creekbed area for use by maintenance vehicles. The surface of the driveway shall be designed to blend into the natural open space environment through the use of open pavers or other such means which provides an all-weather surface. Final design of the material and location shall be shown on the tentative map submitted for the review and approval by the Planning Commission. A maintenance schedule shall also be submitted to the City Engineer and Planning Director prior to the approval of the final map. A section of the fence along the EVA shall be made to function as a locked gate to allow emergency vehicles to use the gavel drive. 33. The developer shall record an open offer of dedication for a public trail easement to the City for the creekbed area and 8.2-acres common open space area on the final map. The design and location of any future trail would be required to be reviewed by the City's Park and Recreation Commission at a public hearing.
