ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No. R-04-65lT-5338/UGM considered potential
environmental impacts associated with the subject rezone and vesting tentative tract map applications.
The study indicates that the project, if approved, would conform to the land use designation and land
use policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and is within the scope of Master Environmental Impact
Report No. 10130. Therefore, staff has issued a finding that the project proposal is in conformance to
the 2025 Fresno General Plan Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR No. 10130) dated January
28, 2005, which incorporates a MEIR Mitigation Monitoring Checklist. This environmental finding was
properly noticed with no comments filed within the comment period.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
Rezone Application No. R-04-65 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. T-5338/UGM, filed by Ciao
Properties, will facilitate the development of a 123-lot family residential subdivision on 45-acres located
on the south side of West Bullard Avenue and west of the intersection of North Grantland and West
Bullard Avenues. Rezone Application No. R-04-65 proposes to change the existing zone district from
the R-R (Rural Residential-Fresno County) zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single Family
Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district for a 35-acre portion of the project site. Vesting

Tentative Map Application No. T-5338/UGM proposes to subdivide the subject property into 123-single
family dwelling units.
The project site is designated for medium density residential use by the 2025 Fresno General Plan and
West Area Community Plan. According to the "Planned Land Use and Zone District Consistency Matrix"
(Table 2) adopted with the 2025 Fresno General Plan (and applied within all community plans), the
medium density residential land use designation allows for 4.99 to 10.37 dwelling units per acre.
However, Fresno Municipal Code Section 12-403-B-2-b-1 allows development of a project site not less
than the minimum density of the next lower land use designation, which is the medium-low density
residential (2.19 to 4.98 dwelling units per acre). The proposed subdivision overall residential density is
2.74-dwelling units/acre. Therefore, Vesting Tentative Map No. T-5338/UGM is consistent with the 2025
Fresno General Plan and the West Area Community Plan.
If the project is approved, development will necessitate the detachment of the subject property from the
Kings River Conservation District and the North Central Fire Protection District and annexation to the
City of Fresno, for which the Fresno County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is the
responsible agency.
The applicant has also initiated a request for vacation feasibility study, which has been routed to the
appropriate departments and agencies for comment dated February 2, 2005. The request is to vacate a
portion of a 60-foot wide street easement, located + 690-feet south of West Bullard Avenue extending
from North Grantland Avenue to +1324-feet west as shown on attached Exhibit B. The 60-foot wide strip
of land is shown on a Record of Survey recorded December 21, 1920 in Book 10 of Record of Surveys
at Page 33, Fresno County Records.
The proposed residential subdivision contains several parcels which in large part are vacant, with two
parcels (APN: 505-040-06 and 505-040-07) located on the northeast portion of the project site
containing single family dwelling units. Located on the southwest corner of North Grantland and West
Bullard Avenues are five parcels each less than one-acre in size containing rural residential dwelling
units that face North Grantland Avenue. Property located directly to the north and northeast of the
proposed project is development with rural residential dwellings. To the southwest, south and southeast
is vacant agricultural lands.
Related applications were previously approved (Plan Amendment No. A-04-09 and Rezone No. R-04-
09) pertaining to the 10-acres of subject property located on North Grantland Avenue, between West
Bullard and West Barstow Avenues. The plan amendment application changed the planned land use
from office commercial to medium density residential. The rezone application changed the zone district
classification from the R-R (Rural Residential-Fresno County) zone district to the R-1/UGM (Single
Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district. The Fresno City Council approved the
plan amendment and rezone applications on July 27, 2004, together with its environmental finds of a
mitigated negative declaration.
Public Resources
The Public Utilities Department has determined that adequate water and sanitary sewer services are
available to serve the project. The nearest public water line is located in North Bryan Avenue and the
nearest sanitary sewer serve lines is located in North Grantland Avenue adjacent to the project.
The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that this project can be entirely
accommodated by the district. The developer will be required to construct FMFCD "Master Plan
Facilities" as determined by the district.

Implementation of the 2025 Fresno General Plan policies, mitigation measures of Master Environmental
Impact Report No. 10130 and the Water Resources Management Plan will provide an adequate,
reliable, and sustainable water supply for the project's urban domestic and public safety consumptive
purposes.
Major Street Improvements
The 2025 Fresno General Plan designates West Bullard Avenue as a collector street (two travel lanes in
each direction) and North Grantland Avenue as an arterial street (two travel lanes with a concrete
median island), which will require dedication of right-of-way and construction of improvements. These
improvements include the construction of curb, gutter, sidewalk and transition paving within the limits of
the tract; construction of an underground street lighting system; and relinquishment of access rights to
North Grantland and West Bullard Avenues from all residential lots adjacent to major street frontage.
These street improvements are outlined in more detail in the Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. T-
5338/UGM Conditions of Approval, dated February 16, 2005.
Streets and Access Points
This subdivision is proposed to have major street access points on West Bullard and North Grantland
Avenues. Local street access is on North "B' and West Roberts Avenues. The Public Works
Department Transportation Planning Section has reviewed the rezone and vesting tentative tract map
applications and has determined that the streets adjacent to and near the subject site will be able to
accommodate the quantity and kind of traffic generated, subject to the dedication and improvement of
adjacent portions of West Bullard and North Grantland Avenues and all interior streets to the ultimate
planned width.
Landscaping/Walls
The West Area Community Plan Policy No. W-3-c & d, will require dedication, installation and
maintenance of 20-feet of landscaping and a solid wall at the rear of the required setback along North
Grantland Avenue and 15-feet of landscaping and a solid wall at the rear of the required setback along
West Bullard Avenue. These improvements will mitigate the adverse effect of noise generated by
vehicles traveling on the adjacent major streets.
Pursuant to West Area Community Plan Policy No. W-6-a, the standards for interfaces between urban
and rural residential land use will require that the rear yard setback be 30 feet and that a 6-foot high
solid masonry wall be constructed at the rear of lots which back-onto the rural residences.
West Area Community Plan Advisory Committee
The West Area Community Plan Advisory Committee reviewed the rezone and vesting tentative
tract map applications at its meeting on December 13, 2004, and recommended approval by a
vote of 4 to 0.
Tentative Tract Map Findings
The Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code Section 66400 et. seq.) requires that a proposed
subdivision not be approved unless the map, together with its design and improvements, is found to be
consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan (Finding No. 1 below).

State law further provides that the proposed subdivision map be denied if any one of the Finding
Nos. 2 - 5 below is made in the negative. In addition, State law requires that a subdivision be found to
provide for future passive and natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision development
(Finding No. 6 below).
1. The proposed subdivision map, together with its design and improvements, is consistent with the
City's 2025 General Plan (there is not an applicable specific plan), because the West Area
Community Plan designates the site for medium density residential land uses and subject to
Fresno Municipal Code Section 12-403-B-2-b-(1), the project design meets the density and
zoning ordinance criteria for development in this plan designation.
2. This site is physically suitable for the proposed type and density of development, because
conditions of approval will ensure adequate access and drainage on and off the site.
3. The proposed subdivision design and improvement is not likely to cause substantial and
considerable damage to the natural environment, including fish, wildlife or their habitat, because
of the urbanized nature of the area in which the site is located.
4. The proposed subdivision design and improvements are not likely to cause serious public health
and safety problems, because the conditions of approval have shown and will ensure that the
subdivision conforms with city health and safety standards.
5. The proposed subdivision design will not conflict with public easements within or through the site,
because conditions of approval will assure noninterference with any existing or proposed public
easements.
6. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural
heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, because of the appropriate use and placement
of landscaping plant materials and because of the orientation of the proposed lots.
The subdivision map, subject to the recommended conditions of approval, complies with the design and
property development standards of the Zoning Ordinance and local Subdivision Ordinance. Based upon
the plans and information submitted by the applicant and the recommended conditions of project
approval, staff has determined that these findings can be made.
Action by the Planning Commission regarding the rezone application will be a recommendation to the
City Council. The Planning Commission's action on the proposed vesting tentative tract map is final
unless appealed in accordance with the Fresno Municipal Code, Section 12-406-I.
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations
has commented that development of the proposed residences will result in additional vehicle trips during
the peak hour traffic periods which will impact the State Route (SR) 99 interchange at West Herndon
Avenue. Caltrans recommended that a traffic impact study be prepared "in order to assess the project-
related impacts to the State Highway System and the pro-rata share towards area-wide circulation
improvements." Although the proposed project will marginally contribute to the peak capacity
deficiencies of the freeway system, major freeway improvements are the responsibility of Caltrans and
any fee related assessments imposed by Caltrans must comply with applicable legal parameters. The
city staff has not recommended that a state facility traffic impact fee be imposed as a condition of project
approval, as it is not evident that Caltrans has accurately documented a project description and its cost,
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Rezone Application No. R-04-65
Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5338/UGM
February 16, 2005
Page 6
a reliable estimate of funding sources, a justifiable nexus or connection between the project and the
need for the state facility improvements, and the reasonable proportionality of the project's share of the
improvement costs that are necessary to justify the imposition of a traffic impact fee for the improvement
of State facilities. The city's conclusion has been based upon Caltrans' submission of varying
descriptions of the necessary freeway improvements, the imprecise estimate of costs and probable
funding sources, and the lack of adequate information to comply with Fee Mitigation Act requirements
(California Government Code §§ 66000 et sequentes) applicable to the City of Fresno. In the absence
of this documentation it is not legally permissible for the City to impose the requested traffic impact fee.
Although the City has met its legal obligations for addressing impacts to the state highway system for
purposes of CEQA, the City has not ruled out working with Caltrans to obtain fees for the state highway
system for projects such as this one. At this time, the City does not have a legally permissible means
for collecting fees for such a purpose. An appropriate, reasonable and legally permissible method of
addressing capacity deficiencies has been presented to Caltrans for consideration. This method utilizes
the master storm water drainage facility planning and fee program established by the Fresno
Metropolitan Flood Control Agency as a model. Using this model, Caltrans is responsible for providing a
master facilities plan, development fee schedule and assurances of compliance with constitutional and
statutory requirements (Mitigation Fee Act-AB 1600) which apply to the City of Fresno. Should
Caltrans develop a master facilities plan and development impact fee program consistent with this
model, it will be applied to any final tract map or other applicable development entitlement for this
project.
It is also noted that the City of Fresno's staff has met with Caltrans representatives to review citywide
impacts on State facilities; the California Environmental Quality Act process; and the legal requirements
for determining the nexus (demonstration of the direct relationship between the project and the potential
impact) and the proportionality (fair share contribution towards mitigating the impact) required by State
law. In response to these discussions, a partnership in planning grant was obtained through which the
City of Fresno and Caltrans will participate with other jurisdictions to complete a freeway deficiency
study. This study will detail the traffic impacts anticipated to occur to freeway facilities within the greater
Fresno-Madera-Clovis Metropolitan Area. This study will focus upon facilities identified to be most
impacted by the projected increases in traffic; identification of the sources of the vehicle traffic within the
greater metropolitan area; and the improvements necessary to provide adequate vehicular capacity.
Findings from this study may allow proportionate traffic impact fees to be legally implemented by the
cities of Fresno and Clovis as well as the County of Fresno upon adoption by the respective
jurisdictions. Staff representatives of the City of Fresno and Caltrans continue to conference in order to
identify a mutually agreeable to implement a fair and equitable traffic impact fee for state highway
facilities.
The Caltrans correspondence has been included with this staff report as requested by Caltrans staff.

COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE BULLETIN
September 2002
(Update from June 2002)
Fugitive Dust Control'at Construction Sites
Regulation Vill, Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions, of the District's Rules and Regulations
regulates activities that generate fugitive dust. .Fugitive dust is emitted'to the air from open
ground or caused by activities such as excavation;transporting bulk materials, or travel on
unpaved surfaces. "PM10" is a term applied to small sized particulate matter- microscopic .
dust particles - in the air. The San Joaquin Valley currently exceeds the air quality
standards for particulate matter. It is for this reason that the District adopted Regulation VIII
in 1993. Significant-amendments to Regulation VIII were adopted, in 2001 and became
effective May 15, 2002. The following dustcontrol and administrative requirements are
applicable at construction sites:
Visible Dust Emissions (VDE). Visible dust emissions may not exceed 20% opacity
during periods when soil is being disturbed by equipment or wind at any time. Dust control
may be achieved by means of applying water before and during earth work and on.traffic
areas, phasing work to limit dust, and setting up wind fences to limit wind blown dust. VDE
opacity.of 20% means the:arriount of dust that would obstruct the view of an-object by 20%.
Soil stabilization. Soil stabilization is required, at any construction site after normal working
hours and on weekends and holidays. This requirement also applies to inactive
construction areas such as phased projects where disturbed land is left unattended.
Applying water to form a visible crust on the soil is an effective method for stabilizing a
disturbed surface area. Long-term methods include applying dust suppressants or
establishing vegetative cover. Restricting vehicle access from the area will help to maintain.
a stabilized surface. Information regarding stabilization standards and test methods are in
Rule 8011 — General Requirements.
Carryout and Trackout. These requirements are found in Rule 8041 — Carryout and
Trackout 'Carryout and trackout are materials.adhered to vehicle tires and transport
vehicles carried from a construction site and deposited onto a paved public road. Should
carryout and trackout occur, it must be cleaned up at least daily, and immediately if it
extends more than 50 feet from the exit point onto'a paved.road.. The recommended clean-
up methods include manually sweeping, sufficiently wetting the area prior to mechanical
sweeping to.limit VDE or using a PM10=efficient street sweeper. .A blower device, or dry
sweeping with any mechanical device other than a PM10-efficient street sweeper is
prohibited.

pedestrian and bike use. Planning to encourage this infrastructure will reduce 'trips'
generated by this and similar projects as well as build a sense of community.
• Crosswalks should be strategically located and clearly marked to facilitate pedestrian and
bicycle traffic. Crosswalks that pass through median strips should be designed to be
pedestrian friendly and include (but not limited to); a shade structure, a sitting area,
landscaping, and be designed so that pedestrians feel safe if caught on the median before
completely crossing the road.
District staff is available to meet with you and/or the applicant to further discuss the regulatory
requirements that are associated with this project. If you have any questions or require further
information, please call me at (559) 230-5800 or Mr. Hector R. Guerra, Senior Air Quality
Planner, at(559)230-5820 and provide the reference number at the top of this letter.

- Orient the unit(s)to maximize passive solar cooling and heating when practicable
- Utilize passive solar cooling and heating designs. (e.g. natural convection, thermal
flywheels)
See http://www.eere.energy.gov/RE/solar passive.html

- Natural gas lines (if available to this area)and electrical outlets in backyard or patio areas to
encourage the use of gas and/or electric barbecues
- Low or non-polluting incentives items should be provided with each residential unit (such
items could include electric lawn mowers, reel mowers, leaf vacuums, gas or electric
barbecues, etc.)
- Exits to adjoining streets should be designed to reduce time to re-enter traffic from the
project site

• Project design should use models put forward by the Local Government Commission (LGC)
in the "Smart Growth Guidebook," such as; street block patterns that form an interconnected
grid, short block faces, numerous alleys and narrow streets. The LGC website
http://www.igc.org contains valuable information and resources on subjects from street
design to energy efficiency.
• Construction activity mitigation measures include:
- Require construction equipment used at the site to be equipped with catalysts/particulate
traps to reduce particulate and NOx emissions. These catalysts/traps require the use of
ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (15 ppm). Currently, California Air Resources Board (ARB) has
verified a limited number of these devices for installation in several diesel engine families to
reduce particulate emissions. At the time bids are made, have the contractors show that
the construction equipment used is equipped with particulate filters and/or catalysts or
prove why it is infeasible.
- Use alternative fuel construction equipment.
- Replace fossil-fueled equipment with electrically driven equivalents (provided they are not
run via portable generator set).
- Install wind breaks on windward sides of construction areas.
- Curtail construction during periods of high ambient pollutant concentrations. This may
include ceasing construction activity during peak-hour vehicular traffic on adjacent
roadways, and "Spare the Air Days"declared by the District.
- Require that all diesel engines be shut off when not in use on the premises to reduce
emissions from idling.
• Neighborhood parks, gardens and food garden areas should be created to encourage
residents to travel less for recreation.
• For new or expanded residential developments, planning and should be made to
accommodate appropriate infrastructure of residential areas including but not limited to: local
grocery stores, gas stations, parks/gardens/recreation areas and transit structures including
bus turnouts, seating and shade for public transit and school busses, and pathways for

• If transit service is available to the project site, improvements should be made to encourage
its use. If transit service is not currently available, but is planned for the area in the future,
easements should be reserved to provide for future improvements such as bus turnouts,
loading areas, route signs and shade structures. Appropriations made to facilitate public or
mass transit will help mitigate trips generated by the project. Direct pedestrian access to the
main entrance of the project from existing or potential public transit stops and provide
appropriately designed sidewalks. Such access should consist of paved walkways or ramps
and should be physically separated from parking areas and vehicle access routes.
Specifically: Bus turnout(s) should be planned near the entrance(s) of the
development for school bus loading to accommodate school-age children.
• Sidewalks and bikeways should be installed throughout as much of the project as possible
and should be connected to any nearby existing and planned open space areas, parks,
schools, residential areas, commercial areas, etc., to encourage walking and bicycling.
Connections to nearby public uses and commercial areas should be made as direct as
possible to promote walking for some trips. Pedestrian and bike-oriented design reduces
motor vehicle usage and their effects on air quality. Sidewalks and bikeways should be
designed to separate pedestrian and bicycle pathways from vehicle paths. Sidewalks and
bikeways should be designed to be accommodating and appropriately sized for anticipated
future pedestrian and bicycle use. Such pathways should be easy to navigate, designed to
facilitate pedestrian movement through the project, and create a safe environment for all
potential users (pedestrian, bicycle and disabled) from obstacles and automobiles.
Pedestrian walkways should be created to connect all buildings throughout the project. The
walkways should create a safe and inviting walking environment for people wishing to walk
from one building to another. Walkways should be installed to direct pedestrians from the
street sidewalk to the building(s). Safe and convenient pathways should be provided for
pedestrian movement in large parking lots. Mid-block paths should be installed to facilitate
pedestrian movement through long blocks (over 500' in length) and cul-de-sacs. Sidewalks
should be designed for high visibility (brightly painted, different color of concrete, etc.) when
crossing parking lots, streets and similar vehicle paths. Clearly marked and highly visible
pedestrian accesses create a safer environment for both pedestrians and vehicles.
Pathways through the project should be built in anticipation of future growth.
Specifically: The proposed development should be made into a more 'walkable'
community through the addition of mid-block connecting pathways throughout the
project area. The entire project area should be analyzed for potential mid-block
accesses.
• As many energy-conserving features as possible should be included the project. Energy
conservation measures include both energy conservation through design and operational
energy conservation. Examples include (but are not limited to):
Increased energy efficiency (above California Title 24 Requirements)
See http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/.
Increased wall and ceiling insulation (beyond building code requirements)
Energy efficient widows (double pane and/or Low-E)
High-albedo (reflecting)roofing material. See http://eetd.lbl.gov/coolroof/
Cool Paving. "Heat islands" created by this and similar projects contribute to the reduced
air quality in the valley by heating ozone precursors. See

More information about Rule 4901 can be found at our website-www.valleyair.orq. For
compliance assistance, please contact Mr.Wayne Clarke,Air Quality Compliance Manager, at
230-5968.
When the project reaches the design phase, the District recommends that the applicant install
design features which serve to reduce vehicle trips and increase activities such as walking,
bicycling, transit use, and energy conservation, all of which help to reduce emissions. The
District's Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI) describes these
features. The current GAMAQI can be found at
http://www.vallevair.org/transportation/cepa guidance documents.htm.
The District encourages innovation in measures to reduce air quality impacts. There are a
number of measures that could be incorporated into the design/operation of this project to provide
additional reductions of the overall level of emissions. (Note: Some of the measures may already
exist as City/County development standards. Any measure.selected should be implemented to
the fullest extent possible.) The measures listed below should not be considered all-inclusive and
remain options that the project proponent should consider:
• Trees should be carefully selected and located to protect the building(s) from energy
consuming environmental conditions, and to shade paved areas. Trees should be selected
to shade paved areas that will shade 50% of the area within 15 years. Structural soil should
be used under paved areas to improve tree growth. A brochure has been included for the
applicant.

Dear Mr. Chamberlain:
The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the project
referenced above and offers the following comments:
The entire San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB) is classified non-attainment for ozone and fine
particulate matter(PM10). This project would contribute to the overall decline in air quality due to
increased traffic and ongoing operational emissions. Although this project alone would not
generate significant air emissions, the increase in emissions from this project, and others like it,
cumulatively reduce the air quality in the San Joaquin Valley. A concerted effort should be made
to reduce project-related emissions as outlined below:
In the event that any portion of an existing building will be renovated, partially demolished or
removed, the project will be subject to District Rule 4002 (National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants). Prior to any demolition activity, an asbestos survey of existing
structures on the project site may be required to identify the presence of any asbestos containing
building material (ACBM). Any identified ACBM having the potential for disturbance must be
removed by a certified asbestos-contractor in accordance with CAL-OSHA requirements. If you
have any questions concerning asbestos related requirements, please contact Mr. Dwayne
England of this office at (559) 230-5973, or contact CAL-OSHA at (559) 454-1295. An Asbestos
Requirements Bulletin has been enclosed for the applicant.
Based on the information provided, the proposed project will be subject to the following District
rules. The following items are rules that have been adopted by the District to reduce emissions
throughout the San Joaquin Valley, and are required. This project may be subject to additional
District Pules. To identify additional rules or regulations that apply to this project, or for further
information, the applicant is strongly encouraged to contact the District's Small Business
Assistance Office at (559) 230-5888. Current. District rules can be found at
htti)://www.valleyair.org/rules/1 ruleslist.htm.
Regulation Vill (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions)- Regulation VIII (Rules 8011-8081) is a series of
rules designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity,
including construction, road construction, bulk materials storage, landfill operations, etc.
Please be advised that on August 19, 2004 and September 16, 2004, the District's
Governing Board approved amendments to Regulation VIII, Rules 8011-8061 and
8071-8081 respectively, that become effective on October 1, 2004. Amendments
include changes to Rule 8021, (see section 6.3.1): the Dust Control Plan threshold
has changed from 40.0 acres to 10.0 or more acres for residential sites. If a
residential site is 1.0 to less than 10.0 acres, an owner/operator must provide

The drainage system cost and fee schedule update is currently underway. The drainage system cost
and fee obligation indicated in this notice is the obligation which is valid at the date of this notice.
Contact the District for a final drainage fee obligation prior to issuance of a building permit or
recording of the final map.
The cost of construction of Master Plan facilities,excluding dedication of storm drainage easements,
is eligible for credit against the drainage fee of the drainage area served by the facilities. A
Development Agreement shall be executed with the District to effect such credit. Reimbursement
provisions, in accordance with the Drainage Fee Ordinance, will be included to the extent that
Developer's Master Plan costs for an individual drainage area exceed the fee of said area. Should the
facilities cost for such individual area total less than the fee of said area,the difference shall be paid
upon demand to the City or District.
The proposed development of Tract 5338 is located in an area that has historically provided a
passage for major storm water flows from the areas east of Grantland Avenue across the proposed
site toward Garfield Avenue. The grading of the proposed site shall be designed such that there are
not adverse impacts to the passage of said major storm -water from Grantland Avenue
toward Garfield Avenue. The District recommends Tract 5338 provide a stub street to the west or
another safe means to control and convey major storm water for drainage from the east. The
Developer shall provide a conveyance method for review and approval such that the major storm
flow can be safely conveyed toward Garfield Avenue without damage to proposed and future
structures within the adjacent property.
No surface run-off shall be directed towards the District basin.
The Developer is required to provide storage in Basin "EM" by excavating a minimum of 12,000
cubic yards as directed by the District in an excavation permit obtained from the District. The
District reserves the right to delete this work prior to the Developer initiating work.
A minimum fifteen-foot(15')storm drain easement will be required whenever storm drain facilities
are located on private property. No encroachments into the easement will be permitted including,
but not limited to, foundations, roof overhangs, swimming pools, and trees.
The District recommends a single fence between the site and the District's basin. The Developer
should contact the District so that alternatives to a dual fence can be reviewed. If a fence other than
the existing chain link fence is proposed, District review and approval of the proposed fence is
required.
