• Twenty-eight homesites proposed by the Original Project toward the south of the property would be replaced by seven four-plex structures to be located on the Original Project Court 1. Five estate lots would be proposed near the east property line so as to retain a total of 98 units. • The fill of ephemeral streams is estimated to be reduced from 2,708 lineal feet for the Original Project, to 145 feet for Alternative 1. Disturbance of seeps would also be reduced, from about 2,000 square feet for the Project to less than 1,200 square feet for Alternative 1. • The total land area to be disturbed by grading under Alternative 1 is 89.5 acres while in the Original Project this disturbance totals 87 acres. • One Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) route, in addition to Hearst Drive access, is proposed versus two under the Original Project. The remaining EVA would be to the north to Grey Eagle Court. • Neither the proposed 6.5-acre neighborhood park nor the regional trail staging area would be included in Alternative 1. • Alternative 1 would use two onsite Balance Fill Areas for deposit of excess soils generated from grading the roads and lots. Finding: Feasible The DEIR identified several differences in the environmental effects of Alternative 1 as compared with the Original Project, but the EIR did not find that the environmental impacts of Alternative 1 would be significantly different from those of the Original Project. No adverse impacts were found for Alternative 1 that were not also found for the Original Project. Alternative 2 Site Plan Alternative #2 Description Alternative 2 reduces the portion of the site that would be developed as homesites and reduces the total number of homes from 98 to 80. The four-plexes proposed in Alternative 1 would not be developed under Alternative 2, but in all other respects the arrangement of uses, location of roads and limit of disturbed areas would be the same as in Alternative 1. This alternative locates 80 homes on a smaller development footprint than proposed by the Original Project. In doing so it is generally identical to Alternative 1. Finding: Feasible The DEIR identified the same differences in the environmental effects of Alternative 2 as compared with the Original Project with the exception that, as a result of the Page S of 43
