extended along the eastern margin of the property, providing access to five estate lots. One lot would also be added off Court 3 and two locations (Balance Fill Areas) would be established for the placement of excess soils generated from grading the roads and lots. This alternative is similar to the Original Project in situating 98 homes on the 562-acre site. It differs from the Original Project in the following ways: • 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 Exhibit A Page 5 of 45 Ordinance No. 1961 PUD-33, Oak Grove
