Planning Commission Lands of Danver June 23, 1998 Page 4 The carport has been included as development area, but has not been counted as floor area since it is open on two sides. The EDP Committee questioned the feasibility of the approach and backup for the carport. The plans have been reviewed by the Engineering Department, and the backup area does meet minimum Town standards. The carport is being cut into the site and the area between the carport and the east property would be graded out, so that the approach and backup space will be flatter and more functional for maneuvering of vehicles. Grading and Drainage - The Engineering Department has reviewed the plans and has recommended conditions of approval, as specified in Attachment 1. The proposed project would require only minimal grading to cut the carport into the site and level the backup area. The land slopes down in this area, so the excavation is limited as a result. Grading volumes include 98 cubic yards of cut and 58 cubic yards of fill. The surplus material would be removed from the site. A three to 3'V2 foot high wood retaining wall would be constructed around the backup area. Drainage improvements include new roof leaders that will tie into the existing drainage system, and a new energy dissipater where a drainage pipe daylights. Final drainage and grading will be reviewed by the Engineering Department, and any deficiencies will be required to be corrected,prior to final inspection. The property will remain on a septic system since the closest sewer lateral is more than 400 feet away. Any necessary permits will be required to be issued from the Santa Clara County Health Department prior to acceptance of plans for building plan check (condition #19). Fire Department Review The Santa Clara County Fire Department has reviewed the proposed project and has requested that the property address be clearly visible from Robleda Road and that the driveway meet Fire Department standards for access. The closest hydrant does not have an adequate flow capacity, so residential fire sprinklers or a new hydrant will be required (see Attachment 2). The Fire Department recommendations are included as conditions in Attachment 1. Committee Review The Pathways Committee has no request for pathway improvements or easements (see Attachment 4). Since no pathway improvements are required and the project is adding more than 900 square feet of habitable floor area, a pathway fee has been requested pursuant to Section 10-2.608 of the Site Development Ordinance. The fee of$7.00 per
