70. The lot owner/contractor for each custom home site shall arrange and pay for a geotechnical engineer to inspect and approve all building site improvements including, but not limited to, foundations, retaining walls, drainage improvements, NPDES measures to the extent practical, geotechnical mitigations, etc., during construction to ensure that the recommendations have been properly incorporated into the development. The geotechnical engineer or his/her designee shall be on call and shall monitor grading, excavation, and home construction operations. The results of the inspections and the as-built conditions of the project shall be inspected and certified in writing by the geotechnical consultant for conformance to the approved plans and geotechnical report and shall be submitted to the Chief Building and Safety Official for review and approval prior to final inspection. This statement shall appear in the design guidelines. (Mitigation Measure F-2-b of the FEIR) 71. The project developer shall create a Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GRAD) for the development covered by this approval. The project developer shall be responsible for preparing all necessary documentation to create the GRAD, including any expenses incurred by the geotechnical engineer for the preparation of the GRAD. The project developer shall be responsible for paying seed money to establish a reserve fund for the GRAD prior to the approval of the final subdivision map, the exact amount of which shall be determined by the City Engineer and City Attorney. Upon recording the final subdivision map for the entire development, or with each phased final subdivision map, the project developer and/or owners of Lots 1 through 51 shall be responsible for paying the future annual GRAD assessments for the development. (Mitigation Measure F-2- c of the FEIR) 72. The developed project site -privately-owned and publicly-owned -shall be maintained through an ongoing Slope Management Program (SMP) and a Plan of Control (POC), administered by the Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GRAD). The project developer shall submit the SMP and POC, prepared by an approved geotechnical consulting firm with budgets and assessments funding the GRAD to the City Engineer for review and approval prior to approval of the final subdivision map for this development. (Mitigation Measure F-2-c of the FEIR) Hydrology and Water Quality 73. To mitigate the creation of new impervious surfaces that would increase the amount and/or the intensity of runoff, potentially exacerbating existing downstream flooding problems and/or causing hydro modification impacts, the project developer (for the infrastructure) and/or lot owner/contractor (for the individual lots) shall pay the applicable regional drainage fees to the Alameda Water Quality and Flood Control District, Zone 7, at the final map for impervious road surfaces (project developer) and with each building permit for lot development (lot owner/contractor).
