Please add the following Condition of Approval:
54. Based upon a review of the proposed grading and the grading quantities shown on the
site plan, a grading permit for this project is required. Prior to issuance of a
building permit for the project, a grading permit shall be obtained and grading

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAUPROJECT REPORT - REVISION
"These expansive clayey soils shall not remain within the upper 3 feet
of subgrade, and should be replaced with select, nonexpansive import
soils. The removal of the expansive clay soils will include the footprint
of the planned Sanctuary, and at least 8 feet beyond the perimeter
footings of the building. The removal of expansive soils shall be
provided where the retaining wall footings are planned. In addition, it
is recommended that at least 1.0 foot of select import be provided
beneath exterior hardscape areas (where concrete slabs are planned.)"
Results of this analysis causes a substantial increase in the amount of grading
required for this project. Due to this increase in grading, a grading permit must now
be obtained for this project.
