( n)
(o)
(1) Prior to issuance of building permits, those trees which are to be
preserved near each building site shall be evaluated by a qualified
tree specialist. The specialist will characterize these trees in terms
of vigor and their susceptibility to damage by construction equipment
and the addition or diversion of surface and subsurface water during and
'Following construction. The specialist shall flag those trees which should
be preserved and suggest adjustments in the location of structures so
as to maintain the greatest number of trees and minimize the impacts of
construction on the vigor of those trees to be preserved. For the
trees that are to be removed, trees of a similar species and of
substantial size shall be planted as a replacement.
(2) All construction activities around trees should be supervised by a
qualified tree specialist.
(3) Construction equipment should not be operated within the driplines of
those trees designated for preservation, but where safe or necessary
operation of equipment requires infringement, grading (including
cutting and filling) should be restricted to one-third of the area within
the dripline. Where such situations are not anticipated prior to
construction and trees are so affected, the tree specialist shall decide
whether or not the damaged tree could become a potential hazard and
should, therefore, be removed. Following construction, disturbed areas
should be lightly spaded by hand to loosen the surface soil.
(4) All natural vegetation within the drainage channel shall be maintained.
Plants shall be replaced where removed as a result of road grading.
The large bay tree adjacent to Irwin Street shall be preserved. Tree
trimming may be necessary to provide vertical vehicle clearance. Such
trimming shall be completed under the recommendation of a tree specialist.
(5) A six foot high redwood fence and additional planting shall be installed
along the south edge of the access easement, adjacent to 217 Irvin
Street.
(6) If trees are damaged (e.g., broken limbs, bruised trunks, or similar
occurrences), they should be treated on an individual basis according
to the recommendation of a forester or arborist.
(7) The contractor for the project should be held financially responsible
for any damage to trees to be preserved. This will include paying all
costs for remedial pruning, tree removal, and planting of new trees,
whichever is necessary.
(8) Adequate drainage for roofs, decks, or other impervious surfaces should
be provided to prevent saturation of soils within driplines.
(9) An open wire or vinyl clad cyclone fence shall be installed along the
southeastern property line (property line abutting lots facing Irwin
Street) to provide safety and privacy to all residents.
Graded materials (cut and fill), construction equipment, and building
materials shall only be stored within areas to be developed. Vegetation in
the designated common areas and the scenic easement shall be retained in its
natural condition. The common areas and scenic easements shall be indicated
as open space on the final map.
Each building shall be subject to design review to assure that even if lots
are sold individually, mitigation measures will be implemented. A landscaping
plan will be required around each dwelling and should be submitted with plans
for building design review. The landscaping plan shall include native growth
(oak/madrone, etc.) which are slow growing plus other tree species that
are faster growing (pine) to insure temporary screening and erosion control.
(p) All cut and fill slopes shall be replanted to minimize erosion and reduce
the visual impact of freshly graded slopes.
(q) All plant materials used in landscaping shall be native to the area or similar
in color, form and growing requirements to maintain the natural character
of the landscape.
(r) All exterior buiTding surfaces shall be constructed of natural materials
and/or colors to blend with the surrounding landscape.
(s) Buildings should be stepped down the hillside to minimize grading as well as
building mass and bulk. Buildings shall be designed to a maximum height
of 2C feet at any 'location from grade. Building design shall be subject
to environmental and desiqn review.
(t) Off-street parking bays shall be provided at spaced intervals as indicated on
the plan to insure that vehicles are not parked on the roadway.
(u) An access easement connecting Irwin Street with City owned open space above
(v) the project site shall be provided.
Prior to issuance of a grading permit, a detailed grading plan shall be
submitted indicating details onthe proposed retaining walls. All retaining
walls over five feet in height shall be terraced (each terrace no greater than
five feet in height). The material utilized for the walls shall be subject
to Design Review Board approval. Planting between each wall shall be
installed to provide screening.
(w) A minimum rear yard setback of 40 feet shall be identified along the south
side of Lots 6 through 9. (A minimum of 20 feet is identified on the plan.)
This setback shall be identified on the final map as common area or an open
space/tree planting easement.
(x)
The driveway for Lots 1 and 2 shall be redesigned to provide better ingress
(y) and egress and vehicle maneuvering acceptable to the City's Traffic Engineer.
Along with the common driveways provided for Lots 1 and 2 and Lots 3, 4 and 5,
common driveways shall be required and designed for Lots 6 and 7 and Lots
W11 and 12. This shall be indicated on the final map.
Prior to final map approval, the map design shall be amended so that the
common area at the southeast end of the site (adjacent to Lot 9) is included
in the area of Lot 9 (with an open space easement) or combined with other
common areas on the site. The three acres of open space shall be combined
with all common areas and shall not appear as a separate parcel.
(aa) prior to issuance of a qradinq permit. a stream bed alteration agreement
shall be obtained from the State Department of Fish and Game. A minimum
100 -foot setback shall be observed along the southernmost drainage channel
(running through the access easement) to Irwin Street. No buildings shall be
permitted to encroach within this setback area. The access road, catchment
wall on on-site drainage retention system may encroach within this setback
area. Building setbacks of 30-35 feet shall be observed along the upper
(northern) drainage channel.
(bb) A maximum 20 -foot -wide, two-way access road shall provide access to the
subdivision from Irwin Street. One way portions of the road shall be 15
feet in width.
(cc) This tentative map is approved for two years from the date of zone change
adoption.
