First, there would be an "in-house" review administered by the Oak Grove <br />Review Board (ORGB), which would include Berger Detmer Ennis Architects and <br />M. D. Fotheringham Landscape Architects. The review procedures are <br />described in the guidelines. The design plans would be approved by the OGRB <br />before being submitted to City staff for review. <br />2. Second, after completion of the "in-house" review, there would then be the formal <br />design review administered by the Planning Department following the review <br />procedures set forth in Section 18.20 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. <br />Having the Oak Grove Review Board administer the first stage of design review ensures <br />compliance with the design guidelines as well as a continuity of review among the <br />various house designs, e.g., ensuring that the individual design works well within the <br />design ensemble of the surrounding homes. Similar procedures have been successfully <br />implemented in the Mariposa Ranch development and the Ruby Hill development. <br />Grading/Urban Stormwater Runoff <br />The proposed grading plan includes the following features: <br />Lots and streets would be located in the most geologically stable areas of the site <br />in order to avoid landslide areas and to reduce the project's grading. Initial <br />grading will be necessary to accommodate the public streets and the front-yard <br />portion of the lots. The front-yard portion of the lot will then be contour-graded <br />and "feathered" to existing terrain. <br />^ All grading will be primarily done to a minimum 3:1 slope banks and will feature a <br />variety of greater slopes to match existing terrain. Remaining lot grading will be <br />reviewed in conjunction with the site-specific building design applications. <br />The lots would be designed to drain to the detention basins shown on the site <br />plan to pretreat the runoff before its entry into the City's storm drain system. <br />For some lots or portions of lots that cannot drain to the street, localized storm <br />water pollution prevention measures are provided. <br />Grading for the overall development, not including private lot grading, will result <br />in approximately 620,000 cubic yards of cut and fill material being moved on the <br />site. Of this amount, approximately 390,000 cubic yards of excess material will <br />be stockpiled in two areas of the open space area. The remaining 290,000 cubic <br />yards will be used as fill material for the roads. This will prevent having to off- <br />haul the material down Hearst Drive and through the existing neighborhoods. <br />These stockpiles will be contour graded to reflect the existing topography. <br />^ Private lots will be graded to balance cut and fill. Any minor excess graded <br />material from the private lot grading would have to be off-hauled either to another <br />building site in the Oak Grove development or down Hearst Drive. Each custom <br />home lot builder will be required to certify the amount of off-haul. <br />PUD-33 Page 10 of 59 June 13, 2007 <br />
