21 . Mandatory Findings of Significance.
a. Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the environ-
ment, substantially reduce the habitat
of a fish or wildlife species, cause
a fish or wildlife population to drop
below self sustaining levels, threaten
to eliminate a plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California history x
or prehistory?
b. Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term, to the dis-
advantage of long-term, envirod-
mental goats? (A short-term impact
on the environment is one which oc-
curs in a relatively brief, definitive
period of time while long-term impacts
will endure well into the future.)
c. Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited., but cumu-
latively considerable? (A project's .
_impact on two_or more separate
resources may be relatively small, but
where the effect of the total of _
those impacts on the environment
is significant.) n
d. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly? '

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
l find that although the proposed project could have a signi-
ficant effect on the environment, there will not be a signi-
ficant effect in this case because the mitigation measures
described on attached sheets have been added to the
project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED..
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on
the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT- REPORT is
required. .

III. DISCUSSION OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION.
i
lb. Development of the site will involve excavation and compaction of
approximately 150,000 cubic yards of earth and rock. All excavated material
will be placed and compacted within the confines of the project boundary
under the observation of licensed geotechnical consultants, and in
conformance with all grading regulations of the City of Grand Terrace.
lc. The total project area consists of approximately 79.5 acres. However,
development involves grading of 20.7 acres, with the remaining acreage left
in its natural land form.
Project grading will create 32 building pads with 5 lots being left in their
natural state,requiring custom design grading and foundations as individual
lots are developed.
Grading for the most part develops conventional terraced pads. Cuts will
reach a maximum vertical depth of approximately 35 feet, but due to
topography of the natural ground, will create two major cut slopes reaching
50 feet in height, measured from top of slope to toe of slope.
Fills will reach a vertical depth of 50 feet in the two major canyon areas in
-- the northerly portion of the property.* Fill slopes, approximating 75 feet in
height, measured from top of slope to toe of slope, will terminate the .
north south canyons traversing the property. Fills slopes for the most part are
all located in the lower areas being graded.
le. Project development should not result in any substantial increase in wind
erosion. Newly graded slopes will be susceptible to water erosion All slopes
in excess of five(5)feet in height will be planted and irrigated with landscape
materials prescnbed.by the project landscape architect that are compatible
with native plant material in the area. Once established this plant material
will provide adequate erosion protection for all graded slopes.
Building pads will be graded sloping towards the street and protective berms
will be constructed to prolnhit storm flow from the pads over graded slopes.
During the rainy season,sandbags.and/or other protective measures will be.
placed to prohibit erosion of lot swales and streets that may not.yet be paved.
The grading contractor will be required to monitor erosion control devices as .
prescribed by the-evil engineer for the areas where grading is not yet
'completed during the-rainy season, generally defined as October 1,through
April 15,of the following year. .

Design of the permanent drainage facilities will include installation of energy
dissipators and velocity reducers at the outlet of all storm drains, returning
flow to as near a natural state as possible prior to leaving the property.
Development of the project will result in an increase in a total peak runoff
leaving the project-of approximately OS%with the maximum increase in the
small 5 acre watershed of less than 10%. Flow increases of this magnitude
should not cause substantial increase in erosion of natural watercourses
downstream from the project
Ig. According to the report prepared by Gary Rasmussen and Associates, Inc.,
project geologist, no active faults are suspected to exist on the site. Future
dwellings will be exposed to earthquake activity from known active faults in
the general vicinity. The San Jacinto Fault is approximately one mile
northeast of the northeast comer of the site. Other fault systems in the
vicinity of Grand Terrace that could expose future dwellings to earthquake
activity are the San Andreas Fault,nine miles to the northeast; the Elsinore
Fault,20 miles to the southwest; and the Cucamonga Fault, 13 miles to the
north_
The San Jacinto and San Andreas Faults are considered to be the most
significant active faults to the site. Other active faults located in the general
vicinity are considered less significant to the site due to their greater distance
and/or lower probability of having a significant earthquake occur along them,
which might affect the property...
Recurrence intervals for maximum probable earthquakes cannot, yet, be
precisely determined. However,based on information available at this time,
maximum probable.earthquakes should be expected(at least 5096' chance of
occurrence within the next 100 years) up to Richter magnitude of 7.0 along
the San Jacinto Fault, and magnitude 75 along the San Andreas Fault.
Geological conditions other than seismic,are not considered to be hazardous
to this development: Current City of Grand Terrace building codes provide
the arr.,„r.;ate design requirements to address potential seismic activity in
the area. All grading -within the project area will be conducted in
consideration of the potential forces from seismic actMty.
3b. The total drainage area of which Tract 10395 is a part, consists of
tr.xI,,..;mately 995 acres.
43 acres of the tributary area situated in the southeast corner of the property
will be left in its natural state. Drainage flows from this small area leaves the
property along the easterly boundary and is not involved in the development._
The remaining 952 acres of drainage-area flows into a series of northerly
drainingravines,nitimatelymerging into two(2)major points of concentration
:.t.-
r_
- it.F
along the north boundary of the property, and one small tributary area
situated between these two major points of concentration- These tributary
areas in the undeveloped state consist of 37.6 acres, 53 acres, and 513 acres
at their respective points of concentration along the north boundary of the
property. After development the respective areas are 38.0 acres, 3.7 acres,
and 53.5 acres,which maintains, for the most part, the drainage pattern of the
undeveloped condition.
JHI3 Consultants, tract engineers, have classified the undeveloped property
as 'barren (rockland, eroded and graded land)", with soils groups B&C as
defined in the San Bernardino County Flood Control District hydrology
manual.
Development of the property will physically involve approximately 20.7 acres
of streets, pads,and slopes. The remaining 58.8 acres will be left natural in
one large parcel to be dedicated to the Homeowners Association as open
space, or as undeveloped portions of the subdivided lots that will be deed-
restricted from further development Because of the relative impervious
nature of the natural ground compared to graded lots, there will actually be
an increase in absorption rates for the developed area. However, due to a
change in the time of concentration of storm flows, there will be a slight
increase in peak flows in the two larger tnibutary areas. The most westerly
drainage area will increase 10 year peak flow from 48.7 CFS to 53A CFS, an
- � increase of approximately 9.6% The most easterly drainage area 10 year
peak flow will increase from.,72.0 CFS to 73.2 CFS, an increase of
approximately L796'. The small central drainage area will be reduced in size
so that there will be a reduction in peak flow from 1L8 CFS to 6.6 CFS, a
reduction of approximately 449o.
Because of the relatively small area of property to be graded and the fact that
a significant portion of the graded area will be landscaped with natural plant
material, the impact of grading and development-on the natural drainage
patterns of the area will be less significant than usually found in subdivided
properties.
3c. The development Iran been laid out in such a manner as to maintain the
natural tributary areas to the extent possible. Nnor modifications due to
development street patterns w81 occur.
Appoo®mately 4.3 acres of tributary area in the southeast portion of the
property will,as stated in3(b)above,be left untouched and no changes of the
tributary area or flow patterns will be altered as a result of development
Three tributary areas are involved in the area to be.,graded As discussed
previously in Section 3(b), development WM alter these areas as follows: .
j vt'e
'� t
Westerly tributary area will be changed from 37-6 to 38-0 acres.
Peak 10-year flows will increase from 48-7 CFS to 53.4 CFS.
Central tributary area will change•from 53 acres
to 3.7 acres. Peak 10-year flows will decrease
from 11.8 CFS to 6.6 CFS.
Easterly tributary area will change from 513
acres to 53.5 acres. Peak 10-year flows will
increase from 72.0 CFS to 73.2 CFS.
It should be noted that peak flows for each tributary area will not necessarily
occur at the same time during any given storm. Generally speaking peaks for
c,,,allPr tributary areas will occur fast.
Design of drainage will return all flows to a -natural state to the
extent possible, before fit.�;,�aaP leaves the project boundaries.
3£ As reported by Gary S.P-ern- ccen and Associates,a general shallow ground
water is not expected to exist under the site. SignM,nnt groundwater should
exist under the site within the old alluvium in the easterly portion of the
property. Additionally,sigrmt n*quantities of groundwater will typically be
flowing along the contact between granitic rock and the old alluvium, at
whatever depth this contact occurs. Sir;4;,--n*bodies of water should also be
expected within the granitic rock yvhere decomposition of the rock decreases
to a point where the waxer will no longer flow through it. Groundwater
conditions should be at a.,,av;n,,,n, during the wet portions of the year, and
would typically daylight or be-exposed-as springs-,within the more deeply
incised drainages.
In general,excavation and the resulting cut slopes to be constructed as a part
of the grading operation will occur along the ridges. Compacted fills and fill
slopes will be constructed for the most part in the lower ravines.
Prior to pta^PmPn* of fills; ravine and canyon bottoms where alluvium is
present will be processed to the extent that alluvium will be removed to the
contact with underlying bedro& Where groundwater exists or has the
potential to exist along the contact between alluvium and bedrock subdrains
will be constructed to r,a-, -An flow. Soils engineers and geologists will
monitor the arts during grading to de* if exposed conditions may result
in groundwater seepage or potential springs, and where appropriate
rel-mmoAroi mitigating measures. .
Because of'the potential for increased percolation of surface water from
= irrigation of i,,**o4v,,nT%ed areas resulting-from development;a slight;
in groundwater -flows along near �^r �P.geologic features, as previously
" z-
•"3L 4: -
•:YV - - i r
- x
=e — ,:�:':+..•- Vie, --,•;,.•`+.•:•-
described, is possible_
3g_ The site is underlain by granitic bedrock and, therefore, a static groundwater
table is not expected to exist. Intermittent flow of seasonal springs and near
surface flows do have the potential to be increased due to landscape
irrigation, or on the other hand, decreased in the event shallow aquifers are
intercepted by cut areas.
The natural riparian areas, as indicated by the biologic assessment for the
project area, are,for the most part,left undisturbed by development and will
be incorporated into dedicated open space or otherwise precluded from
development by deed restriction.
4a. Development of 37 residential lots will,due to the personal taste of individual
residents, introduce species of plants that are not native to the area. Graded
slopes, however, will be planted with a native palette to the extent possible,
as specified on schematic landscape drawings prepared by Clark & Green,
project landscape architects.
4c. Development landscaping will not be a barrier to normal replenishment, but
as previously discussed in Section 4a,personal preference will introduce new
species of plants in the landscaped areas of individual residential lots.
Open spaces of native material will remain throughout the development and
approximately 83%of the project area will be left natural or consist of graded
slopes-planted with native materials.
As individual lots are built upon,fuel modification zones will be required for
fire protection. Plant material in these zones will be restricted to be as .
compatible to the native materials as possible and still provide the required
protection.
5c. The subject property consists of approximately 79.5 acres, the majority of
which currently exists as undisturbed,natural terrain.
There is one residence on the property that will be demolished,and at some
time in bistory a roadway was graded, crossing the property in a east/west
manner connecting the two ends-of Westwood Street,terminating at the west
and east boundaries in the cities of Grand Terrace and Colton. Ibis access
road has since deteriorated to the point it is no longer passable except by off-
road vehicles.
Several trailers also traverse the property and appear to be used intermittently
by bikers and off-mad vehicles. -Observation of topographic maps indicates
that 4ppL :mately 4-5-acres of-the site-is involved in these uses.

Development of the project will utilize approximately 21 acres in streets, pads
and slopes, with 58+ acres left natural. Portions of the natural area will be
disturbed during the grading operation, but should re-establish itself over a
period of time. The grading operation and introduction of houses into this
area will remove, permanently, some area now available to natural wildlife.
6a. Existing noise levels will be increased substantially during the grading
operation, and will diminish to ambient neighborhood levels associated with
37 residential lots after all lots have been sold and new homes constructed
and occupied. It is expected that the occasional nuisance and noise from off-
road vehicle use of the property will be permanently eliminated by
development.
7. It is possible that construction material utilized in development will give off
reflected light. Introduction of home lighting and street lights in the area will
also be a source of light and glare during night time hours. Street lights will
be of an approved design to minimize glare to the extent possible.
8. Development will generate an additional 36 single famrly homes(total 37) on
a 79-5 acre site currently used as a single family residence. This existing
residence will be demolished during the development of the project and
replaced by a new, custom home. This is a substantial intensification of the
residential use of the property,albeit a use contemplated by the General Plan
and zoning of the property.
13a. According to the traffic report prepared- by Wes Pringle and Associates,
development of the property will result in a maximum of 320 daily trips to be
added to the existing Westwood Street traffic in the City of Grand Terrace.
Current traffic on Westwood Street is estimated to be less than 500 vehicles
per day. A daily volume of 1,000 or less is typical for residential streets..
The traffic report does state that volumes of up to 2,000 vehicles per day are
considered light traffic and that the resulting traffic volumes after project
development will be within acceptable levels for residential streets.
The present plan calls for emergency access between the cities of Grand
Terrace and Colton; however, this will.be a gated access available only to
emergency vehicles.
13£ To the extent that any increase in traffic volume whatsoever increases the
potential for accidents involving vehicles, bicyclists an4 pedestrians, an
increase of 320 trips per day.will result in increased accident potential,
accordingly.
Streets to be developed within the project, as well as existing streets to be
accessed by the project, do -have .adequate capacity to .handle the post
ti A.
ter:
!.'
development traffic flows, and the potential for accidents should be well
within the tolerance for developments of this nature.
14e. Tract 10395 is to be a private, gated community and all facilities within the
project boundary with the exception of water and dry public utilities, will be
maintained by the Homeowners Association and maintenance thereof will not
be a burden on public resources.
The private sewer system within the development will connect to public
facilities at the tract boundary; however, the introduction of 37 residential
units is not considered a substantial impact on existing facilities.
Westwood Street and Honey Hills Drive will provide public access from the
tract boundary to Barton Road,the nearest major roadway. Increased traffic
on these roads to local roadways due to project development should not alter
the routine maintenance program now in effect.
Construction and maintenance of other public utilities such as"electrical,
telephone, gas and cable TV will fall under the normal service programs
provided by these public utilities.
16e. Development will result in a need for significant storm drain systems within
the project area. This entire storm drain system will be private and
maintained by the Homeowners Association.
Increase in peak flows downstream from the project as -a result of the
development, are -considered minor (refer to Section le above) and no
alteration to existing systems should be required as a result of development.
19. Project will result in potential increase of passive recreational facilities
available to"the public.

Preliminary Review
Please consider the following comments very preliminary, based on a very
preliminary plan submitted for comments. Therefore, the comments should
Byron R. Matteson be considered more in a form of questions to the project proponents,
Mayor rather than specific recommendations for approval of the project. These-
questions or comments should be addressed prior to formal submittal of
Hugh J Grant the tentative tract.
Mayor Pro Tempone
The areas of concern are the following:
Barbara Pfennighausen
Tim Singley 1. Drainage
Gene Carlstrom
Council Members (a) The points of discharge from the proposed subdivision
appear to go into private properties to the north. What
Thomas Schwab are the rights- to discharge to those properties, i.e.
City Manager existing easements, proposed easements, letter of
drainage acceptance.
(b) Point of discharge at. the northwest corner will follow
the same alignment as existing sanitary sewer. What
impact will that discharge have on the existing sanitary
sewer, i.e. manhole flooding,- silt in sanitary sewer.
There are no existing storm drain easements of record.
(c) All of drainage tributary to the southerly boundary of
the subdivision, .as well as drainage generated by the
proposed improved portion- of the property is indicated as
being carried on the surface. Some of these surfaces are
fill slopes. No indication on how that will be handled,
within the subdivided area. The drainage is carried on
surface streets, with no indication as-to the quantity of
runoff generated and the capacity of various streets to
carry the flow.
Therefore, hydrology and hydraulic studies, as well as
{ resolution of discharge points should be addressed. .

2. Ownership
The proposed land division includes 4 Assessor's Parcels.
Are these all in a single ownership?
3. Traffic
(a) "A" Street exceeds the maximum Cul-de-Sac length
permitted. Statement regarding Fire Marshall is
recognized, however, other concerns are the requirements
of the ordinance which prohibits the length as proposed.
What are the alternatives?
(b) A single access to the proposed development is a 26 foot
wide improvement in Westwood .Street from the west, with
emergency only access from the east. Is that roadway
(26' wide) adequate to provide traffic that will be
generated by the 83 units plus the existing development
on Westwood Street and Westwood Lane.
(c) There appears to be an existing access through Lot 33 to
%- the parcel northerly of this development. Are there any
prescriptive -rights -through that parcel?
Suggest a traffic study be considered to dispute or support
the traffic circulation as proposed. This would include the
proposed interior streets and routes along the existing
improved- streets to a major highway.
4. Grading
The grading as proposed will require fairly large cuts and
fills.
The maximum estimated cut of 47 feet. This cut may require
blasting. If such cut is in fact part of the final grading
plans, and blasting is required, permits from other agencies
shall be required. These permits -shall be submitted to the
City prior to issuance of grading permit. If blasting is
required, and the material excavated by blasting is used in
fill area, such materials placed in the fill area shall be
subject-to provisions of Chapter 70 of UBC.
Maximum fill, -based on the preliminary plan is estimated at 72
feet. Should these fills- be permitted, they shall be subject
to Chapter 70 of UBC.

There appears to be grading*proposed on an area shown as "Not
a Part" easterly of Lot 58. Needs some clarification as to
how that grading will be handled, i.e. grading letter,
easement etc.
No total impact of this proposal can be evaluated at this
time.
5. Seismic
Good potential that a fault line may effect portion of this
property.
Seismic evaluation of the site by geotechnical consultant will
be required.

Dear Mr. Sawyer:
Tentative Tract Mau 90-03
Although the traffic generated by this proposal does not appear
to have a significant effect on the state highway system,
consideration must be- given to the cumulative effect of continued
development in this area. The City of Grand Terrace should
consider the following to reduce congestion and fund
improvements:
* Formation of* an area wide program to reduce home based work
trips in the City of Grand Terrace.
* Each new project should be responsible to fund the pro-rata
share of improvements to correct the deficiency in Level 'of
Service caused by continued development in Grand Terrace.
If you have any questions, please contact Tom Meyers at (714)

ATTENTION:
RE: SP-90-03, TTYS-90-03, E-90-08
Thank you for inquiring about the availability of natural gas service for your
project. We are pleased to inform you that Southern California Gas Company has
facilities in the area where the above named project is proposed. Gas service to
the project could be provided from 4" main in Westwood without any significant
impact on the environment. Tht service would be in accordance with the Company's
policies and extension rules on file with the California Public Utilities
Commission at the time contractural arrangements are made.
You should be aware that ..his "Letter is not to be interpreted as a contractural
commitment to serve the proposed project. but only as an informational service.
The availability of natural gas service, as set fort: in this letter, is based
upon present conditions of gas supply and regulatory policies. As . a public
utility, the Southern California Gas Company is under the jurisdiction of to
California Public Utilities Commission. We can also be affected by actions of
federal regulatory agencies. Should these agencies take any action which affects
gas supply or the conditions under which service is available, gas service will be
provided in accordance with revised conditions.
Typical demand use for:
a. Residential (System Area Average/Use Per Meter) Yearly
Single Family 799 therms/year dwelling unit
Multi-Family 4 or less units 482 therms/year dwelling unit
Multi Family 5 or more units 433 therms/year dwelling unit
These averages are based on total gas consumption in residential units served by
Southern California Gas Company,_ and it should not be implied that any particular
home, apartment or tract of homes will use these amounts of energy.
b. Commercial
Due to the fact that construction varies so widely (a glass building
vs_ a heavily insulated building) and there is such a wide variatio-'
in types of materials and equipment used, a typical demand figure is
not available for this type'of construction. Calculations would need
i to be made after the building has been designed.

Dear Mr. Sawyer:
Considering the vast number of issues that were discussed
at the Planning Commission Hearing on October 16, 1990, I have
taken the opportunity to itemize some of the issues where we
were either in disagreement with the staff reports, or needed
some further discussion to arrive at a determination. .
There will, undoubtedly, be other matters that Staff or
Commissioners wish to pursue; but, at least by starting out
with this list, we can minimize the issues that need to be resolved
at the next Planning Commission Hearing.
We have also enclosed for your perusal a list of the lots,
lot areas and pad areas for the 37 residential lots. Please
be advised that these are preliminary areas, and variations
during design should be expected.
I would like to take this opportunity to express our
appreciation on the fairness of the staff presentation at the
meeting of October- 16th, and I certainly reiterate my willingness
to meet with you or members of the Commission, should they desire
to discuss any of the particulars involved in this development.

REVIEW OF RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Itemized below are comments on those items of the
recommended conditions of approval and engineer's memoranda,
wherein we see some further discussion necessary prior to
Planning Commission action on this matter. Due to the
length of the meeting, our position on some of these items
may have not been made clear; this report is an attempt to
rectify the situation should that be the case.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS
1. Please refer to comments under Engineering Memoranda.
4. We are unaware of the flight pattern impact on this
project, and will confirm that if this is, indeed, the case,
the appropriate conditions will be added to the CC&R's.
6. We feel that the condition needs to acknowledge the
natural lots 3, 4, S, 6 , and 7, that will require special
architectural consideration. Also, the condition implies
that there will be no use, of any kind, of those areas of
the lots to be left in their natural -state. We feel this
may be too restrictive, and uses such as pet areas, play
areas, view gazebos, etc. , should be considered.
8. It is our understanding that this condition was to
refer to the approval of this specific project and,
therefore, does need some clarification.
9. As we stated .at the Planning Commission Meeting, it is
our preference that lot 38 remain as private open space for
the reason stated. Public uses will intringe on the
neighborhood we are attempting to- create. and it is not our
intent that public access be available through the tract's
private streets.
10. It is our understanding that, -water will -be maintained
by the Riverside Highland Water District, and. the private
roads will be dedicated as public utility easements for that
purpose.
ENGINEER'S MEMORANDUM - OCTOBER.12, 1990
2(a) Prior to the next meeting an attempt will be made to
reach agreement between the Fire Warden and City Engineer
with respect to the turnaround requirements.
2
2(b) Assuming we can satisfy the hydraulic needs of the
street section, we would prefer a rolled curb and gutter, or
similar special design, that provides a more rural flavor
than the conventional curb and gutter. Additionally, since
these are custom lots a rolled curb will provide more
flexibility to the buyer in driveway placement, and .avoid
removal and replacement of curb and gutter for driveway
purposes. We are not concerned about the parkways being
utilized for parking in that they will be heavily landscaped
and policed by the Association.
3. We prefer there be no sidewalks. There are none
outside the development and we do not expect much pedestrian
traffic.
4. The matter of street lights was briefly touched upon,
and it is our feeling that they may not be preferred by the
community. We would propose that no conventional street
lights be installed, but rather significant use of low
(three to four feet) landscape lighting in the parkway areas
be substituted.
6. We had no problem with this condition, providing we are
not asked to correct a fault in the original design. This
will not become known until the engineers have had the
opportunity to perform the hydraulic calculations requested;
this may not be until after the final hearing.
8. Grading was the obvious primary concern of the project.
The tentative map does indicate the grading concept to be
adhered to in the design, and proposed pad elevations for
all lots other than lots 3, 4, 6, and 7, are on the map.
Lot 5 does have a pad but it is not intended to be the
entire site, and is only being padded to gain access to the
area further to the rear of the lot that we feel will,
probably, be where the custom designed house will follow the
terrain. We would like to emphasize that this is a hillside
project and the nuances of grading in hillside areas must be
considered. The project has been planned as a cut-fill
balance of approximately 150,000 cubic yards. This original
earthwork was done by the conventional contour
planimetering, and is the usual procedure for tentative map
design. Considering the discussion, 'we have now asked our
engineers to do a computer analysis of the earthwork prior
to the next meeting so that any minor changes necessary to
effect a design balance can be presented.
It should also be noted that even though the grading plan
will indicate a balance, certain assumptions will be made .
regarding shrinkage of some materials, and actual swell of
the rock material existing in the westerly ridges.
Consequently, as the grading operation proceeds, it is
3
absolutely routine in grading that an imbalance of 5-10%
�- will occur during the grading operation. This is ordinarily
adjusted out by design changes so as to avoid export or
import.
Because the rock areas that will require some demolition are
situated along the westerly ridge adjacent to the existing
development of the City of Grand Terrace, no adjustment in
grades in that area would be expected once the final grading
plan has been designed. It is not practical to go back into
an area and do additional blasting once the grades have been
established. We would, therefore, anticipate raising or
lowering the eastern sector of the tract from lots 13
through 25 as required to bring the final grading operation
into balance. This is an absolutely normal procedure in
grading operations of this magnitude.
OTHER COMMENTS
1. We do need to address the request of the City of Colton
pertaining to their equestrian trails. We have no knowledge
as to the City of Grand Terrace's position in this matter.
As stated at the Commission Hearing, we are certainly
willing to work out something at the southeast corner of our
project, but any equestrian trail that traverses the site
from north to south and is intended to access the westerly
terminus of Westwood Street in the City of Colton, will be
` looked at with close scrutiny particularly,. pertaining to
the privacy factor of our buyers and the liability of the
Association relative to the use of Association property.
2. The access drive crossing lot 7 is intended to be an
access easement and will be so noted. The owner of the
property to the north at this particular location does have
easement rights crossing this property, which will follow
the route of the private streets to this easement.
3. Although it is probably not an issue that needs to be
included in the conditions, we- have committed to work out
legal access to the owner of the piece shown as "not a
part", which does happen to lie in .the City of Colton. We
feel his unfortunate situation can easily be corrected
during the course of our development and, unless there 'is
some legal or other reason unknown'to us not do so, we will
proceed in that direction.
4. We would appreciate the proposed wording for the CC&R's
relative to view preservation of adjacent property, prior
to the next meeting so that we may have our attorneys review
same
4
and be prepared to present mutually acceptable wording to
'. the Commission at the next meeting. Other technical issues
in the CC&R' s will, undoubtedly, be worked out during the
course of the ensuing months as the final documents are
being processed.
