TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT:
(Planning Division)
1. ARCHITECTURE AND SITE APPROVAL REQUIRED. The Official
Development Plans and this ordinance establish the allowed uses and intensity of
development. The Official Development Plans are conceptual in nature such that
minor deviations may be approved through the Architecture and Site approval
process if necessary to achieve architectural excellence. The Planning
Commission shall be the deciding body of the Architecture and Site applications.

2. BMP. Prior to final occupancy of each unit, the applicant shall pay the Below
Market Price (BMP) as established by Town Council Resolution.
3. HOUSE SIZE. The footprint, square footage and height of each house shall be
consistent with the Development Plans as shown in Exhibit B.
4. TREE REMOVAL PERMIT. A Tree Removal Permit shall be obtained prior to
the issuance, of a Building, Grading or Encroachment Permit.
5. RECYCLING. All wood, metal, glass, and aluminum materials generated from
the demolished structure shall be deposited to a company which will recycle the
materials. Receipts from the company(s) accepting these materials, noting type
and weight of material, shall be submitted to the Town prior to the Town's
demolition inspection.
6. 1 SAN FRANCISCO DUSKY FOOTED WOODRAT -NESTS
ENCOUNTERED.
Require that a qualified biologist examine the project area before and during any
initial vegetation, woody debris, and/or tree removal, or other initial ground
disturbing activities. If a dusky footed woodrat nest/house structure is
encountered in the area of disturbance, avoid disturbing the structure or evicting
the individuals. Install a protective exclusion zone around any woodrat nest found
within the project area before initiating tree/vegetation removal and ground
disturbing activities. Applicant shall provide the preconstruction sltrvey to the
Community Development Department and report of periodic inspection during
construction to ensure protective fencing is in place.
7. 2SAN FRANSICCO DUSKY FOOTED WOODRATS ENCOUNTERED. If a
woodrat is incidentally encountered in the work area and does not voluntarily
move out of the area, a biological monitor,with the appropriate California
Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) permits, shall relocate the .animal out of
the construction area to the nearest safe location (as approved and authorized by
CDFG). Prior to .relocating any woodrats, a suitable release site shall be created
on site, and approved by CDFG. Applicant shall provide a letter report to the
~ Mitigation Measure 2B-1
z Mitigation Measure 2B-2
3
Community Development Department from the biologist and/or CDFG staff that
documents the consultation with and approval by CDFG of an onsite relocation
area if woodrat nest is encountered.
8. 3IMPACTS TO NESTING BIRDS AND BATS. Implement the following
measures prior to tree removal or construction.
• Conduct tree removal operations between September 1 and October 15, before
special statlts bats have established seasonal roost locations. This will prevent
harming potential fall/winter hibernacula (October 15-February 15) and
spring/ summer maternity colonies (April 1-September 1). If removal cannot
take place during these periods, require a qualified biologist to conduct apre-
construction survey for bats. Winter hibernacula surveys should be conducted
between October 15 and February 15 to determine if bats are utilizing the site
for winter roosting. Maternity roost surveys should be conducted over 4 visits
between mid April and early May, when bats are establishing maternity
roosts, but before pregnant females generally give birth, to determine if a
maternity roost is being established. For any trees/snags that could provide
roosting space for cavity or foliage-roosting bats, thoroughly evaluate the
trees/snags and foliage to determine if a colony is present prior to trimming or
cutting. Visual. inspection, trapping, and acoustic surveys may be utilized as
initial techniques.
• If a tree is determined not to be an active roost site, it may be immediately
pruned or removed. If the tree is not trimmed or removed within four days of
the survey, repeat night survey efforts.
• If roosting bats are found, coordinate with CDFG to develop and implement
acceptable passive exclusion methods. Authorization from CDFG will be
necessary to evict winter hibernacula areas for bats. Have a qualified
biologist, in the possession of an applicable CDFG Memorandum of
Understanding, humanely remove roosting bats if they are not successfully
excluded.
s Mitigation Measure 2B-3
4
If established maternity colonies are found, protect pre-volant young from
construction noise by creating a minimum 100 foot buffer around the colony
until the young can fly or consult with California Department of Fish and
Game for other acceptable measures of avoidance. It is assumed that after
September 1 colonies have no pre-volant young.
® Removal of any occupied tree/snag, if necessary, shall be mitigated for by the
creation of a snag or other artificial roost structure within suitable habitat
located in the project area. The creation of snags/roost structures, if necessary,
will take place during tree removal activities to avoid disturbance of nesting
birds/roosting bats. Applicant shall provide the preconstruction survey to the
Community Development Department .and report of periodic inspections
during construction- to ensure construction buffers, if required are in place.
Applicant shall provide report on creation of a snag or artificial roost structure
if required.
9. 4MIGRATORY BIRD NESTING. Conduct tree removal act; vt;ec hPt~x/PPYI
September 1 and January 1, outside of nesting bird season. For tree removal or
construction activities scheduled to occur during the period from February
through August, a qualified ornithologist and/or biologist- will conduct .nesting
bird surveys no .more than 15 days before tree removal and/or before construction
begins. Surveys shall include the project site and a 300-foot-wide buffer (where
accessible) to examine. nearby tree stands and structures for special-status birds,
and all birds (and their nests) protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA). If an active nest is found, delay project activities until a qualified
biologist determines that young have fledged from active nest site or consult wit11
CDFG prior to commencing any activity within 300 feet of the nest area as set
forth in the Streambed Alteration Agreement issued by CDFG. If nesting birds
are not found, no further action would be necessary, and tree removal and
construction may proceed. Applicant shall provide the pre-construction survey to
the Community Development Department. If nesting birds are found, applicant
shall provide documentation to the Community Development Department that
a Mitigation Measure 2C-1
5
demonstrates compliance with actions specified in the measure (i.e., delay
construction or consult with CDFG).
10. SSNAGS. Retain existing snags and/or dead limbs within the riparian habitat and
setback area to provide potential nesting habitat for cavity-nesting birds.
Applicant shall provide letter report to the Community Development Department
from the biologist that documents the compliance with the measure.
11. 6TREE REMOVAL AND TRANSPLANTING. Require implementation of all
recommendations provided by the Town's consulting arborist (Arbor Resources,
February 5, 2007) and require an independent arborist review of the site plans to
verify recommendations. have been included on the plans and implemented during
construction. The arborist report includes a measure requiring tree transplanting.
by a qualified. tree professional under the supervision of a certified arborist,. and
shall also include measures for irrigation prior to, during, and after transplanting
and shall specify replacement trees if the transplanted trees do not survive within
5 years. Applicant shall provide a letter report to the Community Development
Department from a certified arborist documenting compliance with all arborist
report recommendations after tree removal and transplanting has. been completed
and. again at five years from transplanting.
12. TREE REPLACEMENT. Require planting of three additional 3b-inch box trees
as part of the project landscaping plan and payment of fees into the Town Forestry
Fund as required by Town regulations. Payment of fees shall be made prior to
issuance of the- building permit, and installation of the three additional trees shall
occur prior to final occupancy permit.
13. BNOISE. The proposed six-foot high, solid wood "Good Neighbor" fence along
the east side of Lot 1 and south side of Lot 5 shall be constructed as early as

blackberry, elderberry, snowberry, wild rose) that provide understory structure, a
food base, and cover for wildlife.
15. 10REMOVAL OF TREE #92. When removing the large eucalyptus tree, the roots
will be left in place to avoid disturbing the root mass armoring the southern bank
of Ross Creels, to prevent erosion and promote creek bank stability in this area.
