Meadowlark Development - Austin Property - Environmental Checklist . All new lots will be designed to drain to vcgetative retention basins and drainage swalcs to pre- treat the runoff before its entry into the City's storm drain system, Grading/Urban Stormwater Runoff The proposed grading plan relatcs the project grades to the site's topography. Lots 1,4, and 5 will be graded as split pad lots with a 9-foot difference between the lower and upper building pads, Lots 2, 3, 6, and 8 will be graded as flat-pad lots. All new lots will be designcd to drain to vegetative retention ba- sins, drainage swales, and other designs to pretreat the runoff bcfore its cntry into the City's storm drain system, All cut/fill slope banks will be graded at a 3/1 slope and will address the differences in pad heights, e,g" side-to-side and side-to-rear, of adjoining lots, Proposed Building Design The lot-specific house and landscape designs will be controlled by design guidelines, The design guide- lines are tailored for this development - eight lots in a hillside setting, ovcrlooking Foothill Road, backed by the Pleasanton ridgc and adjoining open space land, They provide detailed and comprehen- sive landscape and building design standards - diagrams, photographs, and drawings - addressing mate- rials, massing, architecture, planting, etc" on a lot-by-Iot basis for clear guidance to future owners re- garding their home designs. Public Improvemcnts and Traffic Mitigation A northbound left turn pocket will be constructed in Foothill Road to Old Foothill Road with the pro- posed project. The location of the developmcnt's acccss from Old Foothill Road will be coordinated with the driveway opening to Alviso Adobe Park. The central portion of Old Foothill Road will be closed, either with bollards or cul-de-sacs, and pavement removed so as to integrate the Alviso Adobe Park site with the proposed open space area, III.
