A. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

1. SITE-STRUCTURE DESIGN SUITABILITY:

Describe the effect upon each of the factors listed on the form. If one or more
of the listed factors will affect the project, the extent or potential extent of
such effect should be determined and indicated. If it cannot be determined whether
or not a listed factor will affect the project, the reasons for not being able to
make such determination should be explained. This analysis is designed to determine
if the site and surrounding area represents a suitable environment for the project,
especially if residents may be involved.

a. Will the project be SUbject to hazardous landslides, falling rock,
or other unstable slope conditions due to site or surrounding topo-
graphic or geologic conditions?

b. Can excessive deformations of foundations occur because of changes
in moisture content, soil swelling or shrinkage, frost action on soils,
liquefaction, substantial soil loss from construction practices, water
or wind erosion, inadequate weight bearing capactiy, or subsidence due
to sink hole, mine excavation or water withdrawal?

c. Is the site subject to unusual terrain features such as steep slopes,
abutting rock formations, or other conditions affecting construction,
drainage, or livability? Does the proposed development appear to take
advantage of the natural features of the site and area?

d. Hill impermeable I ayers such as clay affect cons tructi on dra i nage, or
water inflitration required to replenish ground water supplies? Will
impermeable layers result in ground water contamination due to septic
tank or well development?

e. Is the slte SUbject to rapid water withdrawal problems which
change the depth or character of the water table, affect water
supply, septic tank or vegetation?

f. Are there unusual risks from natural hazards such as geologic
faults, flash floods, volcanic activity, mudslides or fires, or
from the presence of ponds, or hazardous terrain features?

g. Are there unwarranted risks from man-made hazards such as inade-
quate separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, roadway de-
sign or lack of traffic control, visual obstructions to traffic,
improper use of materials, or presence of hazardous materials such
as uranium mill tailings, or liquid petroleum storage areas, or the
pl'esence of potentially hazardous industrial activity or material
in the surrounding area?

h. Is the site SUbject to nuisances from odors, vibrations, unsightly
areas, nearby I andfi 11 s, i nconveni ences or other nui sances?

i. I s the project compa ti b I e ~1i th the surroundi ng area in terms of
land use density, scale. mass, texture, and architectural design?

j. Is the project site in an area of physical deterioration, or physi-
cal investment? Is it in an area of transition in terms of density
or types of land use? Is the development taking place or anticipated
in the area compatible with the project?
