The location, configuration, and arrangement of streets shall be as shown on Exhibit “B”.

No grading shall be permitted on the property described in Exhibit “B” without first obtaining a grading permit pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 16.44 of the Sacramento County Department of Public Works, except for such grading as is necessary to provide adequate drainage, or for those purposes provided in Section 16.44.090 of the Sacramento County Code, or to the placing of fill in those areas indicated on Exhibit “D”.

SECTION 8. TREES

The design, layout, and configuration of the improvements shall be accomplished so as to minimize the removal of trees. No trees having a diameter of nine inches or more, measured four and one-half feet above the ground, shall be damaged or removed unless:

1. The trees are located within the right-of-way of an approved street or approved building envelope.
2. The trees are specifically approved for removal by the Planning Commission or Planning Department as part of the site plan approval.
3. Such removal is necessary for elimination of diseased growth, for fire prevention and control, erosion and flood control, or as may be required for pedestrian, bicycle, or equestrian paths and trails.

SECTION 9. SIGNS

No signs shall be constructed upon the property except those signs authorized in Chapter 35, Article 1 of the Zoning Code of Sacramento County, and monument signs at the location, and with the size and design shown on Exhibit “E”.

SECTION 10. SUSPECTED FAULT RESULTS

Whenever during the course of excavation or trenching such excavation or trenching reveals any evidence relative to the identification of any earthquake fault, no further excavation shall take place until the site is examined by a qualified geologist to determine the extent of such fault and its effect upon proposed construction in the vicinity. The geological report should be reviewed by the Project Planning Commission to determine whether an amendment to this ordinance is required.

SECTION 11. RIDING AND HIKING TRAILS

The developer shall construct riding and hiking trails at the location shown on Exhibit “A”.

Such trails shall be maintained by the developer or by a homeowners association, until such time as such easements are accepted for dedication by the County.
