relocated into 0.95 ± acre area will be sited to avoid the ripafian corridor to the greatest extent practicable; (b) the
proposed development includes measures to enhance vegetation in the reconstructed swale over the riparian
corridor; (c) grading and loss of oak woodlands will occur in the 0.95 + acre area in any event in order to

Plan policies, in that the proposed development will eliminate grading on 16.28 + acres of the site which will
