There is an existing leach field on the site for the existing house. The applicants have conducted <br />research and have not been able to locate exactly where it is on Lot 1. Staff has added a <br />recommended condition of approval, that if the leach field is discovered during construction, it <br />be removed and disposed of in a landfill. '['here is an existing septic tank on Lot 2 which will be <br />removed as part of the project. <br />Prior to the occupancy of the homes, staff has added a recommended condition of approval that <br />the applicants extend the existing water line in Clara Lane to the western terminus of this <br />project. The applicants have agreed to this condition of approval. <br />The applicants are proposing to connect their sewer line to a sewer line which is proposed to be <br />constructed in the neighboring Hatsushi property to the west. If this project is developed before <br />the Hatsushi project, it is likely that the applicants will need to connect the proposed sewer line <br />to the existing sewer line in the northern part of Clara Lane. <br />Staff has added a recommended condition of approval that the proposed street light design <br />match that of the existing street lights on Clara Lane by Vineyard Avenue (see attached <br />photographs, F,xhibit C). The applicants have agreed to this condition of approval. <br />Geotechnical Studies <br />The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan requires site specific geotechnical studies be <br />completed for new development in the plan area in order to evaluate and necessary geotechnical <br />mitigation measures. Geotechnical studies by Korbmacher Engineering dated "Received June <br />28, 2006" and "Received October 23, 2006" were prepared for the proposed site and peer review <br />reports were prepared by Alan Kropp and Associates on September 29, 2006 and November 22, <br />2006. The native soil on the site consists of stiff to very stiff silty clay and gravely clay. 1'hc <br />Korbmacher Engineering report includes recommendations about fill compaction and how to <br />reduce the potential for differential settlement among other engineering concerns. As shown in <br />the peer review report, Alan Kropp and Associates concurs with the recommendations outlined <br />by the Korbmacher Engineering report. Staff has added a recommended condition of approval <br />that the project adhere to all of the recommendations of the geotechnical studies. <br />Clara Lane Extension <br />Currently, the improved portion of Clara Lane ends shortly before this project site. As part of <br />this project the applicants will dedicate the northern portion of the property for the extension of <br />Clara Lane. As part of the project, the applicants will construct this extension, unless another <br />arrangement is made with the owners of the Hatsushi property, and agreed to by the City. The <br />extension will not include a sidewalk, similar to the other improved sections of Clara Lane. <br />Once the extension is accepted by the City, the Clara Lane extension will be a publicly owned <br />and maintained street. <br />Case No. PUD-56 Plarming Commission <br />Page - ! 2 - <br />
