III. Reasons for Recommendations and Backaround:
The project includes creating an embankment only by placing approximately 100,000 cubic yards
of fill on the project site, seeding the embankment with native flowers and grasses, and installing
a perimeter chain link fence.
It is needed to meet future traffic needs based on projected 2010 traffic conditions.
The project has been determined to be in compliance with the General Plan. A Negative
Declaration of environmental significance pertaining to the project was published on December
29, 1994 with no protest, and the Board has considered the negative declaration together with
all comments received during the review period.
This project has been found to be de minimis in its effect on the environment and is exempt from
the $1,250 Fish and Game filing fee.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction and may jeopardize
funding.
