ISLE.
WHEREAS: Said Board has held a public hearing on this application and has
examined pertinent maps, drawings and documents;
WHEREAS: Said Board has made the following findings:
1. That the Tentative Map for Tract 3810 as filed is in conformance
with PD 77-5 as approved by the p|ann|pg Board, and the applicant
has met the requirements for the simultaneous processing procedure
permitted by the City's 3ubdlvision Ord|nance,
2. That the proposed development and the design and improvement of the
proposed subdivision are consistent with all the adopted General
Plan elements of the City f Alameda and already approved specific
plans for other parts of the HBI development. (Sec. 11-3]]2 (o),
(1), (2)).
3. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed types of
development, in that there are no topographical barriers, and the
land can be appropriately graded for the proposed lagoon, roadways,
housing developments, open space uses, and possible institutional
development. {Sec- 3112 (al {3)).
4. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of
development, which is less than 5 dwelling units per gross acre.
(Sec. 3112 (a) (4))-
5. That the design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements
are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or sub-
stantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
The shoreline open space band is designed to adequately protect the
marsh area in Village i||. The filled and is an ecologically poor
artificial environment, and its development will unavoidably displace
some jackrabbits and birds. The eventual improvement of the shore-
line band and the lagoons will probably create an enriched environ-
ment for some wi|d|ife. (Sec. 3112 (a) (5)).
6. That the design of the subdivision or its improvement will not
conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access
through or use of property within the proposed subdivision, in that
the public presently bas no access through or use of the undeveloped
property, but the planned roadway system and other circulation
features will bring the public through the developed property to use
and enjoy the proposed public open space areas. (Sec. 3112 (a) (6)).
7. That the design of the subdivision or the types of improvements are
not likely to cause serious public health problems, in that all the
planning is directed toward creating an attractive community that
'will enhance the quality of life. (Sec. 3112 (a) (7)).
B. That there will be no discharge of waste from the subdivision into
the sewer system which would violate regional water quality control
standards, in that adequate mechanisms of control have been pro-
vided, i.e., approval by the City Engineer and authorization of
EBMUD for any sewerage or water connections before building permits
are, issued, monitoring of the lagoon control structues, and main-
tenance by the City of public storm drain systems. (Sec. ]]12 (h)).
9. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the
property which make the specified exceptions to the Subdivision
Ordinance necessary, namely:
[o) reductions of street right-of-way and curb-to-curb widths, for
the objectives of expanding landscaping, reducing paving, and
controlling automobile speed through design.
"
(b) street intersections at angles less than 90°, for the objective
of having a curvilinear development for variety and for ad-
justing to landscape features like lagoons.
(c) long cul-de-sacs, which are justified by anticipated traffic
, rates, street design, and appropriate and use planning.
Cd} rectangular shaped cul-de-sacs for the objective of creating
distinctive urban courts.
(e) substandard lot sizes and shapes, for the objectives of aggrega-
ting common open space areas, utilizing cul-de-sacs and adjusting
to terrain features.
(f) double frontage lots, which resulted from maximizing cul-de-sac
street designs and orienting houses away from arterials.
(g) lighting standard s less than [ES for the objectives of energy
conservation, lower costs and better appearance without sacrifi-
cing
10. That the specified exceptions are necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of HBI. (Sec. 11-3134 (a) (2)).
11. That the granting of the exceptions will not be defrimmnfo| to the
public welfare or injurious to other property in the HBI development
or Bay Form Island in which said property is situated. (Sec. 11-3134
(a) (])).

rezoning of open space areas to «0«, is consistent with the R-1-PD
zoning of the site.

edge treatment, proposed docks, size, storm drainage, maintenance,
and bridges, are suitable for this development present an attractive
design feature, and present no serious problems of public health,
safety or ceneral welfare.
