APPLICATION COMPLETENESS REVIEW (3-31-17)

F-shiblt A South Hills study Purpose Statements and Recommendations Page S 2. To encourage preservation as open space those areas characterized by a. Intermediate and steep slopes; b. Higher elevations; c. Significant amounts of vegetation; d- Significant visual impact. That adequate review of both on-site and off-site impact of any develop- ment by a qualified engineering geologist occc-ar under any of the following conditions: 1. All formations Soil depth of 40 inches and above Slopes of 30 percent and above 2. Basalt flows Soil depth of 40 inches and above Slopes of 20 percent to 30 percent 3. Eugene Formation Soil depth of 40 inches and above Slopes of 20 percent to 30 percent 4. Basalt flows Soil depth of 20 to 40 inches Slopes of 30 percent and above S. Eugene Formation Soil depth of 20 inches to 40 inches Slopes of 30 percent and. above That developments be reviewed to encourage clustering of open space ele- ments of different developments in order to preserve the maximum amount of continuous open space. That developments be reviewed iu terms of scale, bulk and height to in- sure that development blends with rather than dominates the natural characteristics of the south hills area. That all proposed road locations be reviewed to insure minimum grade disturbance and minimum cut-and-fill activity, particularly in those areas most visible due to slope, topographic or other conditions. That planned unit development review shall be based upon a recognition of both public and private interest. In areas of significant conflict (e.g., locating development in a highly visible area as opposed to a less visible area or in an area of significant vegetation as opposed to a relatively open area) which could be resolved through use of an alternative development plan, primacy shall be given to the public interest in ally determinations.
