on the City's acknowledged Goal 5 inventory, per the April 12, 1978 Scenic Sites Working Paper, <br />which designates the subject site as Natural Sites of Visual Prominence and Prominent and <br />Plentiful Vegetation. Based on the South Hills Study Development Standards policy, the <br />requirements at EC 9.8320(6) regarding slope failure, and the submission of a <br />geotechnical/geologic investigation by the applicant, staff has proceeded with a review of the <br />geotechnical/geologic investigation as follows below. <br />Public Works staff confirms that the applicant's analysis, prepared by Ronald J. Derrick, P.E., <br />G.E. of Branch Engineering, Inc., which is dated February 6, 2017, meets the Level One and <br />Level Two Analysis requirements of EC 9.6710(4)(a) and (4)(b), which consists of a compilation <br />of record geological data, site conditions, sub-surface investigation and testing and a report <br />discussing site and soil characteristics in relation to the proposed development and other <br />applicable standards. The report concludes that the site is geologically and geotechnically <br />suitable for the proposed development. The report also includes a number of construction <br />recommendations including the design and construction of the proposed residential building <br />pads and foundations and public infrastructure improvements. Public Works staff concurs with <br />this initial geotechnical assessment. Adherence to the report recommendations will be required <br />during the subsequent PEPI permit, and building and site development processes, based on the <br />condition of approval recommended previously under EC 9.8320(6). <br />(e) EC 9.6730 Pedestrian Circulation On-Site. <br />The standards for on-site pedestrian circulation at EC 9.6730 are generally applicable to <br />institutional, office, commercial, multi-family residential and industrial developments. These <br />standards are not applicable to the proposed PUD. <br />(f) EC 9.6735 Public Access Required. <br />(1) Except as otherwise provided in this land use code, no building or <br />structure shall be erected or altered except on a lot fronting or abutting <br />on a public street or having access to a public street over a private <br />street or easement of record approved in accordance with provisions <br />contained in this land use code. <br />The proposed development complies with public access requirements as each of the proposed <br />lots have frontage on a public street, or have access to a public street via a private street or <br />shared access easement. Requirements for the creation of the private street are addressed per <br />the findings at EC 9.6875. Access to Lots 5-10 and 16-19 will be provided via 20 foot wide <br />shared access easements. As noted previously, one of the future subdivision application <br />requirements will include the review and approval of a joint access easement and maintenance <br />agreement that will be recorded concurrent with the final plat. <br />Based on these findings, this standard is met. <br />(2) Access from a public street to a development site shall be located in <br />accordance with EC 7.420 Access Connections - Location. If a <br />development will increase the development site's peak hour trip <br />generation by less than 50% and will generate less than 20 additional <br />Capital Hill PUD (PDT 17-1) February 2018 45 <br />Page 45 <br />
