Approximately 188 mature trees along Grant Line <br /> Road would be removed, altering the visual character along the roadway. <br /> ` Impact 4.14-2: Visual Quality—Alteration of a Scenic Vista from Mountain <br /> House Parkway. The development of a 30-acre interim recycled water storage pond <br /> on the Pombo property could affect the scenic vista across the property currently <br /> L viewed by motorists on Mountain House Parkway. <br /> The remaining impacts were considered to be less than significant and focused on the <br /> 6. construction of 5- to 7-foot-high soundwalls, and the generation of new light and glare from <br /> outdoor recreational facilities at the community park. None of these impacts were directed at <br /> the development of the project site. <br /> MITIGATION MEASURES IDENTIFIED IN 2005 SPIIIEIR <br /> Although the College Park developers will be required to plant 50-gallon size trees on both <br /> sides of Grant Line Road and in the median strip between the Alameda County line and the <br /> Mountain House Parkway,the mitigation will not reduce the impact to a less-than-significant <br /> level. The mitigation measures directed at the alteration of a scenic vista from Mountain <br /> House Parkway call for landscaping and edge treatments required by the MHMP and the <br /> ✓r <br /> 4-3 <br />
