IMPACT 4.8-2 (Views to Mt Diablo and foothills would be screened by new buildings) <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.8-2(a): Protect view corridors to foothills and Mt. Diablo by <br /> incorporating east-west vehicle and pedestrian corridors. <br /> The Mitigated Plan incorporates east-west roads and pedestrian corridors, and realigns <br /> roads to and within the Town Center to orient to Mt. Diablo. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.8-2(b): Incorporate an open space corridor along the project's <br /> western edge to allow views without interruption by buildings. <br /> The Mitigated Plan incorporates an open space edge treatment along the project's <br /> western edge, including planting, fencing/walls/berms, trails, setbacks, easements, and <br /> a major roadway. <br /> 4.12 PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY <br /> IMPACT 412-2 (Public and environmental health may be affected by pesticide/herbicide <br /> residues) <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.12-2(f): Establish a 1,000 foot buffer along the western boundary to <br /> reduce potentially adverse effects of aerial pesticide spraying. <br /> The Mitigated Plan proposes an edge treatment including fencing, walls, planting and <br /> major roadway. Other possible measures could include deed restrictions on <br /> agricultural operations for farmland immediately adjacent to the western boundary. <br /> This approach establishes an effective edge without creating a 500-acre "no-man's land" <br /> with associated maintenance problems. <br /> IMPACT 4,12-5 (Potential health impacts may result from public exposure to PCB's or <br /> electromagnetic fields associated with overhead electrical lines. <br /> Mitigation Measure 4.12-5(c): Land adjacent to transmission line easements should be <br /> planned for recreational use or open space, to the maximum extent possible. <br /> The only existing major powerline is the PG&E Rio Oso-Tesla 230 kV tower line. <br /> Along this powerline is another easement for the Rancho Seco Tesla tower line . <br /> The Mitigated Plan proposes a landscape easement and a community park along the <br /> existing transmission line easement where it crosses residential development. <br /> -4 - <br /> The SWA Group <br />
