Mountain House Speck Plan III ........................................................................................................................................................................... The applicant shall follow the recommendations of the Village A/B and D Geotechnical Engineering — Reports,and shall include the following elements or mitigation equivalent: 1. All fill material used for engineered fill at the project site shall meet the specifications of the Geotechnical Reports. 2. All open cuts shall be in compliance with applicable regulations established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA)and shall be closely monitored for evidence of incipient instability. 3. Areas are to be graded to ensure positive drainage and shaped in such a way as to appear an integral part of the graded or paved surface with smooth,rounded slope transitions. 4. Given the depth to groundwater at the project site, it may be necessary to dewater the bottom of excavations.Any dewatering design shall be reviewed and approved by the geotechnical engineer prior to construction- 5. onstruction5. During excavation activities, groundwater levels shall be lowered and maintained at least 2 feet below the bottom of the excavation. 6. More site-specific investigations involving more detailed geotechnical exploration at building pad locations shall be completed prior to the issuance of building permits. — 7. Foundation soils shall be tested by the geotechnical engineer immediately prior to the placement of concrete to verify that th.e soils' water content is acceptable. _ 8. Strengthened and stiffened shallow foundation systems shall be used to improve the ability of the foundations and floor slabs to resist the adverse effects of both seismically-induced ground deformation and potentially expansive soils. 9. A detailed grading and drainage plan shall be prepared for all areas subject to development,and be submitted to the County for review and approval prior to the issuance of grading permits. 10. A qualified construction inspector shall be present at the site to observe and advise during site preparation, earthwork, grading,and construction of foundations and earth-retaining structures. 11. If more than two years lapse between the date of the Geotechnical Engineering Reports and the commencement of project construction, the Geotechnical Engineering Reports shall be updated. 4.5.3 Building Requirements 4.5.3.1 Master Plan Summary The architectural character of Mountain House shall consist of a variety of styles and building types. Architectural and design standards are to be established and applied consistently within distinct areas of the community including Residential Neighborhoods,Neighborhood Centers, and the Limited Industrial area.The intent is to encourage these areas of the community to establish a unique architectural character. To accomplish this, Specific Plans will present more detailed site plans and guidelines for architecture, 4-54 Draft 03/14/05 ...................................................... ..........................................................................................................
