are used for rapid growth, a water injection system shall be installed rather
than sprinkling systems. No irrigation system shall be
permitted in areas of

issuance of any permits. The grading plan shall include the following:
- Hauling
route and schedule which provides the least impact to surrounding residents.
- Maximum
use of passive drainage controls (landscaping, small diversion basins, etc.) as
opposed to active control devices (paved swales, below
grade storm drain
systems, etc.).
- Phased
grading and tree removal plan in order to retain escape routes for native
fauna.
- Strict
conformance to the standards of
Municipal Code Chapter 14.05 (Excavation and
Grading of Hillsides), including slope gradients.
- Minimum 95 percent compacting in the upper 12 inches of all

export does not exceed 15,000 cubic
yards.

below 45 decibels.
- The
developer shall make the following recommendations to the purchasers of
the lots with respect to crime prevention methods:
- Exterior doors should be metal or solid wood with a 1-inch deadbolt that
locks in addition to a key-in-the-knob lock.
- When a door has glass panes or windows within 40 inches of a lock, a double
cylinder deadlock is recommended so that a key is required to open the door
from either side.
- All ground floor windows should have key operated sashlocks.
- To prevent sliding glass doors from being lifted from the track, it is
recommended that 1-1/4 inch pan head sheet metal screws be inserted into the
top of the door frame at both ends and the middle so that the door barely
clears them when it is operated.
- Sliding glass doors should be fitted with deadlocks which utilize bore pin
tumbler cylinders.
- No truck traffic to or from the
site during initial
site grading shall
occur during the time period when school busses pick up and drop off children
on El Mirador Drive.
- All grading,
landscaping and irrigation systems and public improvements
shall be complete within 18 months of initial grading activity.

open space
lot for
open space
uses. Ownership
of the open space
lot shall be transferred to the homeowners' association in
perpetuity for maintenance and assumption of all liability.

lots which
provides for maintenance by the
applicant or his successor(s) in interest until
the individual

lots which
provides for maintenance by individual
lot owners, or by a homeowners'

- Construction shall be limited to weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
- The
developer shall notify prospective
lot purchasers of Southern California
Gas Company's program to provide assistance in selecting the most effective
energy conservation techniques for a
development.
- Design and construction methods shall include passive solar water heating and
space heating/cooling where practical and incorporation of natural ventilation
techniques such as:
- South-facing overhangs;
- Shading of windows where practical;
- Heat absorbing window screens;
- Double glazed or other high-STC rated windows for noise abatement and energy
savings;
- Insulate hot water heater and pipes;
- Locate water heater as close as possible to areas needing hot water;
- Clock or electronic thermostat controlled space conditioning system to automatically
switch off equipment during nonoccupancy hours;
- Place heating/cooling equipment near points of
use; and
- Locate thermostats where they will accurately measure temperatures
experienced by people.
- The
developer shall provide a letter of credit approved by the
city
attorney's office and the planning
director to ensure that the grading
project
(including the construction of drainage and protective devices and any
corrective work necessary to remove and eliminate engineering and geological

applicant shall provide a letter of credit approved by the
city
attorney's office and the planning

continue until the
developer has sold 50 percent of the
lots at which time the
homeowners' association shall assume responsibility for such maintenance.
