t • Planning Commission Lands of Gorman&Cheng(lot 22) March 11, 1998 Page 5 The "as-built" drainage and grading will be inspected by the Engineering Department, and any deficiencies will be required to be corrected prior to final inspection. The property will be connected to the sanitary sewer. Geotechnical Review The Town's geotechnical consultant, Cotton, Shires & Associates, has reviewed the plans and geotechnical reports and has visited the site. The recommendation for approval of the project is subject to conditions (see Attachment 2). Some supplemental evaluations are required, and will be reviewed and approved by the Town Geologist before plans are accepted for building plan check. The energy dissipater shown at elevation 490 is to be moved to a down slope location as approved by the project geotechnical consultant, GeoForensics. Condition#14 includes the recommendations of the Town Geologist. Other Plan Review Comments • The Santa Clara County Fire Department has reviewed the proposed plans and has requested that the property address be clearly visible from the street. The Fire Department performed a flow test on the closest hydrant and determined that the water flow is not adequate for a home of the proposed size. In addition, portions of the residence would be more than 150 feet from the street. These two conditions mean that fire sprinklers or other acceptable water supply will be needed. The Fire Department's recommended conditions are included in Attachment 1. The Pathways Committee has requested that the existing pathway on Oak Knoll Circle be restored as needed and that a new path be constructed along Stonebrook Drive (see Attachment 5). Part of the path along Stonebrook would be Type IIB and the remainder would be a native path. Condition #23 requires the applicant to do any repair or restoration work and to install the new path to the satisfaction of the Engineering Department, prior to final inspection. Also, the driveway will be required to be roughened where it crosses the path on Oak Knoll Circle. The Environmental Design Committee recommends planting new trees on all sides of the new residence (see Attachment 4). The Committee also commented on outdoor lighting and the need for it to be minimal due to the visibility of the site. Staff is available to answer any questions that the Commission or the public may have.
