My review of <br />the applicantÂ’s reports regarding the geotechnical feasibility of constructing the PUD in a manner <br />protective of public health, safety, and welfare I determined that it would be appropriate to ascertain <br />whether actual field evidence exists to support my mapping of slope movements in the vicinity of <br />the proposed PUD. <br />As a result, I decided to look for such evidence along Floral Hill Drive, located at or nearthe toe of <br />the east-facing slope below the proposed PUD. And such evidence does indeed exist. As outlined <br />in my previous testimony, there areseveral lobate geomorphic/topographic features in the lower part <br />of the slope which I interpreted as slope movement deposits. It turns out that Floral Hill Drive, <br />which runs in a perfectly straight N-S right-of-way for approximately 1/4 mile below the proposed <br />PUD shows pavement offsets toward the east at each of the locations where it crosses one of the <br />lobes. This fact is even evident when looking at the road closely on Google Earth (seeattached <br />annotated Google Earth image). It is quite evident also when standing on the road (see attached <br />photos demonstrating the offset). The road appears to have been offset at least 2 to 3 feet in an <br />easterly direction. In addition, the pavement shows evidence of spreading inthese areas with <br />concomitant cracks forming parallel to the roadway. <br />In addition, at the south end of the 1/4-mile straight section, the road makes a 90-degree curve to the <br />east (when traveling south). This curveis located at the boundary of two of the lobes mapped on my <br />previous geomorphic landslide maps (see second attached annotated Google Earth image). <br /> <br />
