BACKGROUND
Development applications for the Hansen Hill Ranch project were first approved in February of 1989
with the City Council approval of a General Plan Amendment, along with new General Plan policies, and
Environmental Impact Report for the Hansen Hill Ranch site. The land use designations approved for the
site included:
Low Density Single Family Residential (0.5 - 3.8 units per acre) - 57.2 acres
[providing for 28 to 217 dwelling units]
Open Space/Stream Corridor - 89.8 acres
Additional project approvals occurred in November, 1989 with the Prezoning of the site to a Planned
Development District, and Tentative Map for 180 single family lots. Annexation of the property into the
City of Dublin was certified in May, 1991, and the Dublin City Council adopted the Hansen Ranch
Development Agreement Ordinance in February, 1992.
After the initial tentative map approval was granted, the applicants decided to process the subdivision in
two phases. Phase 1 of the subdivision involves 72 lots, and Phase 2 involves 108 lots. The City
Council approved amendments to Phase I of the Hansen Ranch Tentative Map in February and March of
1995.
On February 14, 1995, Martha Buxton, representing California Pacific Homes, submitted an application
for a General Plan Amendment, Planned Development Rezoning, and Tentative Map Amendment for
revisions to Phase II of the approved Hansen Ranch subdivision (P A 95-007). The request involved
approximately 2.4 acres of land (overall) redesignated from open space to residential land use, with 16
homesites relocated into an oak/bay woodland area, on the 147+ acre Hansen Hill Ranch project site.
This amendment proposal for 16 lots was reviewed by the Planning Commission at a noticed Study
Session on April 17, and a Public Hearing on May 1, 1995. After the close of the May 1 hearing, the
Planning Commission adopted resolutions recommending the City Council deny P A 95-007, General
Plan Amendment, PD Rezoning; and Tentative Map Amendment
At the May 8, 1995 City Council meeting, Councilmembers considered the original proposal for 16 lots
in the previously designated open space area. The Council provided the direction that a relocation of 16
lots into this environmentally sensitive area was not appropriate. At the City Council meeting, the
applicant showed the Councilmembers a new proposal for 10 lots to be relocated into the open space
area. Several issues were raised regarding the proposal, including the following questions:
1. What are the significant impacts to the environment, especially upon the riparian corridor area
including loss of oak woodland, riparian vegetation, wildlife movement.
2. Can the road extension intended to serve the adjacent property to the north be located
anywhere else, and will it extend to the project property line.
3. Are the amendments consistent with the City's General Plan policies;
The Council continued the Public Hearing on this item to the meeting of May 22, 1995, in order to
provide staff the opportunity to evaluate the new 10-10t proposal and report back to the Council. The
City Council also directed staff to concentrate on the proposal's impacts to the riparian corridor.
The current project description analyzed in this Staff Report is a request for a General Plan Amendment,
Planned Development Rezoning, and Tentative Map Amendment for revisions to Phase II of the
approved Hansen Ranch subdivision. Th~ project would involve approximately 2.4 acres of land
(overall) redesignated from open space to residential land use, with 10 homesites relocated into an
oak/bay woodland area, on the 147+ acre Hansen Hill Ranch project site.

ANAL YSIS SUMMARY
Staff has analyzed the proposed project in terms of its relation to the City of Dublin General Plan,
as well as the significant environmental impacts which could result. Overall, it appears that the
proposed project would result in at least 2.5 more acres of tree loss throughout phase n than that
approved under the 1989 plan. In the homesite relocation area, which is located at the riparian
corridor, the development of 10 homesites in the open space area results in .33 acres more grading
and loss of oak woodland in that area than under the approved plan. Additionally, the area
covered by the 10 homesites would result in a net loss of approximately 1.5 acres of area which
would previously have been replanted with riparian revegetation. The proposed project will
include revegetation and enhancement of the swale through the riparian corridor area in order to
mitigate riparian habitat loss. The ten lots are sited to preserve a 200-foot wide corridor close to
where the natural corridor occurred, and the proposed gaps in homesites near the riparian
corridor appear adequate to allow wildlife passage. The loss of oak woodlands due to grading for
lots 1 through 6 on Inspiration Drive exceeds that approved under the 1989 plan by 1.37 acres.
Further explanations of these facts are contained in the analysis below.
ANAL YSIS
The proposed General Plan Amendment, Planned Development Rezone, and Tentative Map Amendment
would redesignate 2.4 acres (overall) from Open Space/Stream Corridor to Residential land uses, with 10
homesites relocated to an area previously designated for open space. The portion of the site in question is
an area in Phase II of the project, along the northern project boundary, near the Martin Canyon Creek (the
area higWighted in Attachment 1).
Staff s analysis will include a brief assessment of the project in terms of the issues raised at the May 8,
1995 City Council meeting, as mentioned above. However, as directed by the Council, the focus will be
the project's impacts to the riparian corridor.
1. Significant Environmental Impacts
Under the plan approved in 1989, significant impacts to the oak woodlands and riparian vegetation would
be minimized through implementation of the EIR mitigation measures. The primary mitigation measure
was elimination of residential development along the loop road. Another mitigation measure required
minimal grading for the road. Another required that the slopes graded for the road be revegetated with
native plants after construction. With the approved plan, the trees replanted on graded slopes would
eventually mature to replace most of the oak woodland area destroyed by the roadway grading.
Under the proposed plan, 1.5 acres of the open space area would not be replanted -- there would be 10
lots instead of native plants. The grading and woodland removal required for the ten-lot alternative
involves .33 acres more in the area of the riparian corridor than that approved under the 1989 plan.
Although the proposed 10 lots have been sited to avoid portions of the natural riparian corridor
alignment, and the remaining slopes would be replanted, the existence of 10 lots in this area would result
in a greater loss of vegetative cover and open space in the long run than with the approved plan.
The loss of riparian corridors for animal travel between habitats under the proposed 10-10t alternative
would be more significant than the losses under the project approved in the 1989 approved plan. With
only a road traversing the open space area, wildlife could cross the road and still travel between habitat
areas through an approximately 900 foot wide opening.
3
.
.
Under the proposed plan, the relocation of 10 homesites narrows the opening to 200 feet wide, and
increases the existence of structural barriers in the open space area. However, the lots have been sited to
maintain the open area in the general vicinity of the natural riparian corridor. While comments on the
recently revised lO-lot alternative have not been received from the Department ofFish and Game, it
appears that this open area, in combination with two other gaps in development nearby, would be
sufficient for passage of wildlife between major open space areas. It is expected that a letter of comment
from Fish & Game regarding the proposed lO-lot alternative should be received by the date of the City
Council meeting on May 22nd.
In addition to the revegetation of graded slopes, the applicant has indicated a willingness to provide
habitat and vegetation enhancements in the riparian corridor area, in an attempt to recreate a habitat more
similar to the natural setting than what would exist based upon the approved 1989 plan. Staffhas
discussed this issue with Malcolm Sproul, ofLSA Associates, who offered examples of enhancements to
the revegetation plan, including: irrigating the young plants, placing top soil on fill slopes, using special
planting techniques such as drilling into fill slopes to allow root penetration, and planting at a density
similar to the native woodlands in the riparian corridors. The applicant has provided a statement
indicating the measures to be taken to provide this enhanced riparian habitat, which is included as
attachment 5.
In the applicant's written statement dated May 5, 1995, it was stated that the proposed 10-10t plan would
allow the reconstruction of the seasonal stream channel in the Riparian Corridor. However, in
subsequent discussions with the applicant and her engineer, it was determined that the stream channel
cannot be reconstructed to reflect it's natural flow. The only water flow which would occur above-
ground would be from rainfall within the swale north of the loop road, draining toward the creek. A
statement and diagram from Adams & Streeter, the applicant's engineer, which illustrates this situation is
included with the applicant's written statement under Attachment 5.
Finally, the proposal to revise the subdivision includes 6 redesigned lots along Inspiration Drive. The
siting of lots in this area would be modified from the plan approved in 1989 in that instead of four custom
lots with a reinforcing crib wall, the new plan would have 6 padded lots and no crib wall. The result of
these changes would require an additional 1.37 acres of oak/bay woodland to be removed beyond the
grading approved for the 1989 plan. Overall, the proposed amendment would result in at least 2.5 more
acres of woodland loss in Phase II than that approved under the 1989 plan.
2. Road Extension
The second major issue raised at the Council meeting was whether an alternate location could be found
for the road extension which is intended to serve the adjacent property to the north. The planning staff
discussed this issue with the City Engineer, the Applicant, and the Applicant's engineer. Because of the
significant site constraints north of the loop road, which include landslides and steep slopes, it appears
that an alternate location for the road extension in the nearby area is not feasible. A road extension in the
north west comer of the site, looping around lot 109, has been suggested. However, the construction of a
road through this area was not discussed under the project EIR, and could not be approved without a
complete environmental analysis. However, it is possible that a road extension in concept could be
considered, with the understanding that the environmental studies must be completed prior to its actual
approval and construction.
Additionally, concerns were raised by the Council with the cul-de-sac shown at at the end of this road. It
was suggested that the cul-de-sac should be constructed as a hammerhead or dead-end barricade to give
residents the clear impression that the road is intended to be extended in the future. The cul-de-sac has
been modified on the proposed plan to represent a hammerhead turnaround. While this design appears to
be acceptable for the service needs of the Public Works and Fire personnel, the exact design and
dimensions will need to be verified on the final improvement plans. Conditions of approval have been
incorporated to require that a statement declaring the intended road extension be included in the
subdivision C.C. & R.s as well as recorded with the title or deed for each lot.

3. General Plan Policies
The third major issue before the City is whether the change, from an Open Space designation to a
Residential designation, is appropriate, given other General Plan policies. A list of General Plan policies
which need to be considered when reviewing the history of the projects and the proposed amendments to
this project was included with the staff report from the May 8, 1995 City Council meeting.
The specific policies which relate to the proposal for a land use change include guiding policies 3.t.a,
7.1.a, 7.3.a., and 8.2.3. These policies relate to;
(a) preservation of Open Space and natural resources for public health and safety; (b) protection
of riparian vegetation as a protective buffer for stream quality and for its value as a habitat and
aesthetic resource;
( c) protection of oak woodlands; and
(c) preservation of woodlands and riparian vegetation to minimize runoff.
The new proposal for 10 lots near the riparian corridor and 6 lots along Inspiration Drive would require
the removal of a .3 3 acres of additional oak woodlands. When interpreted strictly, the above policies
would prohibit amending the General Plan to allow residential development in an oak woodland and
riparian habitat area, because it would be inconsistent with these policies without adequate mitigation
measures to address this significant impact.
Additionally, policies 7.7.e and 7.7.f, specifically relate to the project as it was approved in 1989. These
policies require that:
Access roads, including emergency access roads, arterial streets, and collector streets that
must pass through open space areas shall be designed to minimize grading to the
maximum extent possible so as not to damage the ecological and/or aesthetic value and
characteristics of the open space area
Prohibit development within designated open space areas except that designed to enhance
public safety and the environmental setting
These policies were originally developed in response to the Hansen Ranch development approved in
1989. When this policy was adopted, under the General Plan Amendment which approved the project's
land uses, it was intended to accommodate the approval of ~ the road through this area of the project
site, not residential lots. The Council can determine that the construction of 10 homesites in this area is
consistent with the intent of these policies, because the residential lots have been sited to avoid the
riparian corridor as much as possible, while still providing the road extension intended to provide future
access to the Nielsen property.
e.
f.
Staffs evaluation of the proposed 10-10t relocation has determined that while the amendment proposal is
not 100% in compliance with the strict interpretation of the above policies, the project as a whole will
preserve the majority of oak woodlands and riparian vegetation on site. The area of the most significant
riparian habitat would have been graded in any event in order to construct a loop road as approved in the
1989 plan.
In summary, the proposed location of 10 homesites in the open space area results in more loss of oak
woodland within the riparian corridor than under the approved plan. The plan could include revegetation
and enhancement of the riparian corridor area in order to replace an area of enhanced riparian habitat.
The proposed gaps in homesites near the riparian corridor appear adequate to allow wildlife passage. The
loss of oak woodlands due to grading for lots 1 through 6 on Inspiration Drive exceeds that approved
under the 1989 plan.
5
e
.
Based upon these factors and conditions, staff recommends that the City Council determine whether the
tradeoff of maintaining a 200 foot-wide corridor with enhanced riparian-type habitat outweighs the loss
of additional oak woodlands.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with CEQA and the Dublin Environmental Guidelines, the staff prepared an Initial Study
for the proposed project. Based upon this Initial Study, it was determined that the EIR certified by the
Dublin City Council on February 27, 1989 for a previous project (pA 87-045 Hansen Hill General Plan
Amendment) could be used as the EIR for this project. This previous EIR (dated December 1987; SCH
No. 87050527), including the revised project description addendum (dated May 1988), Statement of
Overriding Considerations and Mitigation Monitoring Program encompass the subject site and
adequately describe 1) the environmental setting, 2) the significant environmental impacts and, 3) the
alternatives and mitigation related to the significant effects of the development on this project site.
As required by CEQA, a 30-day noticed public review period was provided for this project between
March 17, 1995 and April 15, 1995. Several letters of comment were received, some concerning the use
of the previous EIR. A summary of the pertinent comments received appeared in the Staff Report for the
May 8, 1995 City Council meeting.
A Draft Resolution incorporating a revised Statement of Overriding Considerations, adopting findings,
and certifying the EIR has been prepared and is included as Exhibit A, to be used if the Council
determines the proposed amendment should be approved.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Public Notice of the environmental review and of Public Meetings to be held on this project were mailed
to public agencies affected by the project, property owners within 300 feet of the site, published and
posted near the project site. Copies of several letters of comment from public agencies and citizens were
included in the May 8, 1995 Staff Report. No new comment letters have been received since the May 8
meeting.
AL TERNA TIVES/OPTIONS
If the Council determines that the land uses as generally shown on the Staff Study General Plan
Amendment Map appear to be acceptable, it could approve the General Plan Amendment and Rezoning
to allow a range of housing units and 59 acres of open space. The actual lot configuration of the
Tentative Map could be approved as proposed by the applicant, or could be reassessed and brought back
before the Council at its next meeting for consideration.
If the Council determines that the proposed 10-lot alternative does not provide the City with a
supportable project after consideration of the tradeoffs analyzed above, the Council could consider other
options, including, but not limited to:
1) Approving an amendment to the approved plan which allows only the reconfiguration near the
earthquake fault, but retains the design of the 1989 plan in all other areas of the site;
2) recommend that a new design could be developed which would involve no new grading in oak
woodland or riparian areas, such as smaller lots in designated residential areas to retain the 180 lot
count.
3) consider an amendment which would allow some of the units in the open space area, but not in
the configuration proposed, or not unless additional mitigation measures are agreed to by the
applicant; or ;
4) deny the project as proposed.
6
.
.
..
If the Council wishes to consider alternative designs, staff requests that direction be given regarding
whether any new grading should be allowed in oak woodland and riparian habitat areas, and whether
other design possibilities such as increased densities would be appropriate.
CONCLUSION
F or the reasons explained in the analysis, staff recommends that the City Council determine whether the
tradeoff of maintaining a 200 foot-wide corridor with enhanced riparian-type habitat outweighs the loss
of additional oak woodlands.
If the Council determines the proposed amendment should be approved, it may adopt the attached
Resolutions adopting CEQA Findings, revised Statement of Overriding Considerations, and certifying
the EIR, approving the General Plan Amendment and Tentative Map Amendment, and waive reading and
introduce the Zoning Ordinance Amendment for the Hansen Ranch PD Rezoning (Exhibits A through E).

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF TIffi CITY OF DUBLIN
ADOPTING FINDINGS PURSUANT TO THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, CERTIFYING
A FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACT REPORT AND ADOPTING
A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
(HANSEN RANCH PHASE II/P A95-007)
WHEREAS, California Pacific Homes, Inc. ("CPH") owns and plans to develop approximately
147 acres ofland commonly known as Hansen Hill Ranch located in the City of Dublin (the "Project
Site") with 180 single-family homes. Land use applications for the Hansen Hill Ranch project were
originally approved in February of 1989 as follows:
A. Resolution 019-89 for PA 87-045 making CEQA findings, certifying a final environmental
impact report and adopting a statement of overriding considerations.
B. Resolution 020-89 adopting a Mitigation Monitoring Program ("MMP#I") for the project.
C. Resolution 021-89 adopting general plan amendments to allow low density single family
residential (0.5-3.8) units per acre) development on the Project Site~ and
WHEREAS, in November of 1989, the City adopted a mitigated negative declaration, a
Mitigation Monitoring Program under Resolution No. 128-89 ("MMP#2") and approved a prezoning of
the Project Site to a Planned Development district under Resolution No. 129-89 and a tentative
subdivision map for 180 single family residential lots on the Project Site under Resolution No. 130-89
pursuant to the approved general plan amendment; and
WHEREAS, CPR plans to develop Hansen Hill Ranch in two phases of 72 and 108 residential
lots, respectively, CPR has requested a general plan amendment, a planned development rezoning and a
tentative subdivision map that would reconfigure the residential lots within Phase II but would not
increase the total number oflots in the project. Under this request as originally filed, sixteen residential
lots would be relocated to an area previously designated as open space although virtually all of the area
would have been graded for an access road under the previous approval. The application has been
modified to reduce the number of residential lots to be relocated from sixteen to ten lots. The current
request for Phase II (FA 95-007, as modified) proposes to redesignate approximately 2.4 net acres of the
Project Site from open space to low density single family residential~ and
WHEREAS, CPH has requested the following approvals from the City for Phase II:
A. General Plan Amendment to redesignate approximately 2.4 net acres from Open
Space/Stream Corridor to Low Density Single Family Residential (0.5-3.8 DU/acre) land
uses;
EXHIBIT A
B. Planned Development Rezoning to change the designated zoning district for
approximately 2.4 net acres on the Project Site from PD Open Space to PD Single Family
Homes and to revise various PD General Provisions and the configuration of the
residential lots within Phase II of the project. The PD Rezoning reduces the average lot
size from 7700 square feet to 7560 square feet;
C. Tentative subdivision map amendment that reflects the reconfiguration of the residential
lots within Phase II as described above~ and
WHEREAS, the City prepared an Initial Study to determine the appropriate type and level of
environmental review for the proposed amendments. The Initial Study, dated March 16, 1995, indicated
that the environmental impact report certified in February of 1989 for the Hansen Hill Ranch project and
the mitigated negative declaration adopted for the project in 1989 (collectively, the "1989 EIR"), and the
accompanying statement of overriding considerations and Mitigation Monitoring Program, adequately
describe the general environmental setting, the significant environmental effects, and the alternatives and
mitigation measures related to each significant effect. The grounds for this determination were based on
the fact that the current application proposes development in an area that was also proposed for
development in the original 1989 project description, although the project ultimately was not approved as
proposed. The modification of the application to relocate ten rather than sixteen lots does not implicate
any environmental issues not addressed in the Initial Study~ and
WHEREAS, based upon the FEIR and the entire record before this City Council, this City
Council finds that the changes and modifications made to the .1989 ErR after it was circulated for public
review and comment for the Phase II Approvals do not collectively or individually constitute: (i) changes
to the proposed project that would require major revisions to the 1989 ErR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified
significant impact; (ii) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is
undertaken which would require major revisions of the 1989 EIR~ or (iii) significant new information.
Therefore, the changes and modifications do not require the preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental
ErR under CEQA.
WHEREAS, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15153, the City prepared a "Notice of Use of
EIR From Earlier Project" commencing a 30-day public review and comment period from March 17,
1995 to April 15, 1995. The 1989 EIR was available for review and comment by concerned citizens and
public agencies during this period. Only one comment letter was received during the comment period,
however it did not address the issue of using the previous EIR for the current project; and
WHEREAS, on April 17, 1995, the Planning Commission held a noticed study session to receive
oral testimony regarding the use of the 1989 EIR for the current project and held a public hearing on May
1, 1995 to consider the proposed amendments; and
WHEREAS, the City received two written comments on use of the EIR after the close of the
comment period, one from the Dublin Unified School District and one from the Department ofFish and
Game~ although the letters were received after the public comment period, responses were included in the
May 1, 1995 Planning Commission staff report; and
g:\pa#\1995\95007\ccreceqa

WHEREAS, at its May 1, 1995 public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended denial of
the proposed amendments to the City Council for review at a noticed public hearing of the Council to be
held on May 8, 1995; and
WHEREAS, the Council held a public hearing on May 8, 1995, which was continued to May 22,
1995; and
WHEREAS, the 1989 EIR together with the March 16, 1995 Initial Study constitute the Final
Em. for the current project amendments (PA95-007, as modified).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE Dublin City Council finds as follows:
A. The March 16, 1995 Initial Study, the 1989 EIR and the "Notice of Use ofEIR from
Earlier Proj ect" all reflect the independent judgment of the City Council.
B. All of the impacts and mitigation measures identified in the 1989 EIR, as well as related
findings and mitigation monitoring programs (MMP#1 and MMP #2) continue in effect
except for the Vegetation and Wildlife mitigations calling for no residential lots in the
relocation area. These include, but are not limited to, mitigation measures requiring a
detailed revegetation plan for disturbed areas and requiring compliance with California
Department ofFish & Game requirements.
C. The mitigation calling for elimination of residential lots in the relocation area is infeasible
because of the following specific economic, social or other considerations:
Since the approval of the Hansen Hill Ranch project in 1989 various geologic hazards
have been identified, including an earthquake fault in the western portion of the site and
additional landslides, which have required the reconfiguration of the individual lots. In
order for the project to be economically feasible, it is necessary to retain as many of the
lots approved in 1989 as possible. In addition to the earthquake fault and landslides, other
natural features of the site, including oak bay woodlands, riparian corridor, steep slopes,
and open ridgelines, constrain development of the remainder of the site and make it
infeasible to relocate lots to any area which is not environmentally sensitive. The
relocation often lots to the open space which will be graded for a road under the current
project, stream corridor area, will allow up to 180 units while protecting the riparian
corridor to the extent practicable.
D. Vegetation and wildlife impacts relating to the oak bay woodland and riparian habitat In
the relocation area have been mitigated to the extent feasible, but still cannot be avoided.
These effects are nevertheless acceptable due to the following overriding considerations.
1. Provisions of Housing.
The Hansen Hill Ranch project will provide housing opportunities in the City and in a
region where housing is costly and in short supply. The project will facilitate the City's
ability to contribute its fa~r share of regional housing opportunities.
g:\pa#\1995\95007\ccreceqa

2. Provisions ofIncreased City Revenues.
The Hansen Hill Ranch Project will provide economic benefits for the community in terms
of increased property and sales tax revenues.
3. Open Space and Visual Impacts.
The project designates substantial areas ofland for open space and low intensity
residential uses. This open space will conserve the ecological values of the site and
surrounding areas and provide recreational and open space amenities for residents of the
project, the City and the region. The proposed amendments provide that an approximately
16 acre area in the southwest portion of the Project Site with two existing knolls will
remain natural and upgraded. Under the Prior Approvals, the saddle between he knolls
would have been filled, creating a manufactured hill that would have been highly visible
throughout the community. The adverse visual impacts of the project are therefore
decreased by the proposed amendments.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE FURTHER RESOLVED the Dublin City Council certifies the Final
EIR for the proposed amendments (P A 95-007), as modified) as having been completed in compliance
with CEQA, and adopts the findings and statement of overriding considerations outlined herein.

RE:
Revisions to the Amended Tentative Map for Phase 2
You have requested that I provide a written statement regarding the changes California
Pacific Homes (CPH) proposes to make to the Phase 2 Tentative Map/PO Rezoning Site
Plan which will be considered by the City Council at the May 8 meeting. For the
General Plan Amendment, the approximately 2.4 acres of land (overall) that will be
redesignated from open space to residential land use will remain the same.
CPH proposes to relocate 6 of the lots within the area requiring the General Plan
Amendment to the area between lots 141 and 142 fronting Inspiration Drive, (plan
attached) The lots that would be relocated are numbered 99, 98, 97, 96, 93 and 92 on
the February 1995 submittal. Relocating these lots has two significantly positive impacts:
1. It maintains the 200 foot wide Riparian Corridor to allow wildlife passage as
depicted on Attachment 4 of the City Council staff report, (see attached)
2, It is an improvement over the currently approved plan in that it allows the
reconstruction of the seasonal stream channel in the Riparian Corridor. The 1989
approved plan makes no provision for reconstructing the stream channel because
the drainage remains underground until it reaches Martin Canyon Creek and the
grading contours ignore the natural, above-ground drainage flow,
The area between lots 141 and 142 is an area that you mentioned at both the Planning
Commission study session and May 1 meeting as a potential site for relocating some of
the 16 lots. It is a logical site because in the 1989 approved plan there are lots in this
same area. Placing lots in this area as approved in the 1989 plan will result in 1.31 acres
of reforested oak bay/woodland beyond what is currently proposed.
It was a pleasure working with youJ Lorry, Carol and Lee today to develop a revised
plan that is actually better than the 1989 plan in that the Riparian Corridor can once
again provide a natural habitat.

SUBJECT: Hansen Hills Riparian Corridor
Dear Tasha:
Upon review of the latest Site Plan for the new riparian corridor. we will be able to
concentrate storm flows within the newly graded area north of the loop road (approximately
1.76 acres), All storm water that falls within the newly graded area north of the loop road
will flow to the new ripman corridor. Please reference the attached Exhibit 1/ A 1/ .
On the allier hand, we will not be able (0 take stOrm water from south of the loop road and
place it within the riparian corridor . We have attached a sketch (Exhibit liB ") showing the
limitations of this concept. Due to vertical constraints, the stOrm drain would outlet
immediately before the top of a 60-foot high 2: 1 slope. Since we cannot run storm fiows
over the top of a 2: 1 slope, the storm water would again need to be sent underground,'
Secondly, the hiking trail is designed within the 2: 1 slope area and provides another
constraint to keep storm flows underground.
Despite these vertical constraints, we are most concerned about the volume of storm t10ws
generated south of the loop road. The area of drainage south of the loop road is
approximately 24 acres, This will generate approximately 45 cubic feet per second of storm
flows. This is a tremendous amount of flow. Due to the existing terrain, these storm flows
will also travel at a high velocity. For these reasons, these storm flows will become highly
erosive Over any new grading.

We would propose to take the stann flows (south of the loop road) underground and outlet
these flows at the creek. This is the same design and solution as shown on the CUrrent
Tentative Tract Map.
Tasha, should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Tasha:
Aa a project measure to enhance the ravegetotion through the swale in the riparian
corridor in Phose II of the Hansen Ranch subdivision, Calilornia Podfic Homes, os the
developer, will utilize enhanced vegetation techniques to ensure the replanted
vegetation will achieve a density equivalent to the woodlands in the riparian corridor
south of the loop road.
Examples of enhancements to the revegetation plan include irrigating the young plants,
placing top soil on fill slopes, using special planting techniques such as drilling into fill
slopes to cHow root penetration, planting native trees, shrubs and grasses at a
replacement ratio which would replicate a density of vegetation adequote to provide a
riparian corridor for wildlife habitat similar to the woodlands previously existing in the
riparian corridor.
These project measures are incorporated into the design and part of the project
description.
Sincerely,
Martha W. Buxton
Consultant for California Pacific Homes
