included as Attachment 5 and indicates the probable relationship and distances between the two structures. Mr. Nassar indicated he would be able to attend a November hearing date, preferably after November 9, 2005, so that he could address the Planning Commission directly regarding his concerns. The Planning Commission hearing was continued to November 16,2005 at which time Mr. Nassar was unable to attend to provide testimony. In recommending approval of this PUD, the Planning Commission has supported a two-story custom home on Lot 9 subject to its review and approval. Other concerns identified are related to the loss of trees on the site. Staff has responded by confirming a Tree Survey and Report was conducted. There are 79 trees identified within the report determining the suitability ofretention and condition of the trees. Most of the trees on site are remnant decaying walnut orchard trees that are poor candidates for preservation. The arborist updated the tree report, and over time, the trees on site have decayed further. The only trees identified for preservation are tree number 59, a large sycamore, and the small grove of pines located on the Jones property. Care will be taken that grading, along with other site improvements, not impact the integrity of their trees. Conditions of approval incorporate the recommendations of the arborist during site construction. Zone 7-Arrovo Del Valle Slope Stability The northerly portion of property lies within the Arroyo Del Valle channel bottom and embankment. The Arroyos have varying ownerships: those of Zone 7, Alameda County, the City, various homeowners associations, and private ownerships. In an effort to support the mission statement of Zone 7, the City initiated and requested the applicant enter into discussion related to dedication of the lands lying within the Arroyo confines proper. The Zone 7 'Interim Design Standards and Practices,' dated April 21, 1999, (E) Channel Side Slopes states: " Channel side slopes shall not be steeper than 2 y:,: I unless a report prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer demonstrates that a steeper side slope can be accommodated without adverse impacts." The applicant retained Engeo, Inc. to conduct a hydraulic evaluation and bank erosion analysis to effectively determine slope stability and provide recommendation for setbacks for road or building construction. On page 10 of its report, dated March 10,2005, the recommendations are: . 3: I (horizontal:vertical) line of projection from the toe of the creek bank to the top of the bank plus an additional horizontal distance of 15 feet for habitable structures. . 2: I (horizontal:vertical) line of projection from the toe of the creek bank to the top of the bank for non-habitable improvements, including the proposed roadway fronting the Arroyo Del Valle Creek.
