The property has <br /> been dry farmed, usually planted in oats. A house and a few out buildings exist on the west <br /> side of the site. A riparian corridor runs southwest to northeast across the site. The existing <br /> topography varies from elevation 190 at the top of the small hill in the southeast corner to <br /> less than 152 feet in the Swale at the northern boundary. <br /> r=� The site is part of a much larger agricultural area and is visible in the distance from the 1-205 <br /> freeway. The aerial photo in Figure 2-1 illustrates the distance of the site from I-205. Figure <br /> 4.1-1 illustrates the southerly/southwesterly view from the top of the knoll located in the <br /> southeast corner of the project site. Traffic on 1-205 can be seen in the distance in the left- <br /> hand portion of the photo. <br /> Fif * <br /> ti <br /> f•� <br /> Figure 4.1-1.
