The applicant needs to inform the Community Development Department of his intentions to construct single-story residences, two-story residences, or a combination of the two on the project site. If only single-story residences are proposed, additional interior noise mitigation measures are unnecessary. If two-story residences are proposed, the applicant will need to submit an interior noise level analysis prior to construction of any two-story residences. The Major Subdivision application will be conditioned accordingly to reflect the applicant's decision. The noise analysis states that the noise barrier must be constructed along the western property line adjacent to 1-5 and that it must return to the east, starting at a height of 10- feet and gradually decreasing to 6-feet in height as shown on Figure 1. The current tentative map indicates that the noise barrier will be located along the western property line only. Five (5) copies of the large (24' x 36') tentative map, and two (2) copies of the reduced (8 '/2" x 11") tentative map need to be submitted to the Community Development Department reflecting the actual location of the noise barrier prior to attending the Planning Commission meeting. The revised maps must be submitted to the Community Development Department no later than October 17, 2003 in order to remain on the November 6, 2003 Planning Commission agenda. Riparian Habitat Lots 18 and 19 are adjacent to French Camp (Walker) Slough. Development Title Section 9-1510.5 states that parallel to any natural bank of a waterway, a natural open space area for riparian habitat and waterway protection shall be maintained to provide nesting and foraging habitat and the protection of waterway quality. The minimum width of said open space shall be one-hundred (100) feet, measured from the mean high water level of the natural bank or fifty (50) feet back from the existing riparian habitat, whichever is greater. Water-dependent uses may be permitted in this buffer. The proposed noise barrier encroaches on this natural open space area. The tentative map needs to be redesigned so that the noise barrier does not impact the existing riparian habitat and does not encroach in the open space area. This issue must be resolved and reflected on the revised tentative map prior to approval. Hydrologic/Hydraulic Analysis The Department of Public Works has indicated that a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis is required to demonstrate that French Camp Slough, both downstream and upstream of the discharge, will not be subject to a higher flood level as a result of the proposed terminal drainage from the project. This analysis must be submitted and reviewed by the Department of Public Works prior to approval of the tentative map. This issue must be resolved by October 17, 2003 in order to remain on the November 6, 2003 Planning Commission agenda. Oak Tree Removal The applicant is proposing to remove a Native Oak Tree with a 2-foot diameter in order to construct a public roadway. Development Title Section 9-110.4 defines a Native Oak as a valley oak (Quercus lobata) with a trunk diameter of six (6) inches to less than thirty-two (32) inches for a single trunk tree, or a combined trunk diameter of eight (8) inches or greater for a multi-trunk tree, measures four and one-half (4 '/2) feet above the ground elevation of the tree; or an interior live oak (Quercus wislizenii), California live 2
