89. An on-site detention basin and related drainage improvements shall be
constructed by the developer as a part of the project. The basin and related
improvements shall be designed and constructed so that its size will detain
sufficient storm water run-off such that the maximum flow existing the basin
during a 100-year storm will not exceed the historic flow onto Racquet Club
Road West of 62 cfs. The basin shall be constructed to contain the 100-year
storm with peak flow existing the basin through a 20 feet wide weir structure
will be 57.46 cfs, with the basin containing 5.268 acre feet(or 229,475 cubic
feet) of stormwater runoff. The basin shall be designed according to the
specifications contained in the hydrology report for the project. The tentative

94. If blasting is determined to be necessary as part of the excavation operation
for any of the future residences on the property, the timing such procedures
shall be planned with the assistance of a biologist If the biologist determines
that the location and extent of blasting is likely to affect sheep lambing,
breeding, or watering, blasting should be done during a period when the
auditory impacts will be negligible. A biological monitor may also be
necessary prior to and during blasting events to halt blasting if sheep are
present in the area. While the biologist will determine the final
implementation techniques, it is anticipated that the biologist will be
positioned at the higher elevations of the site equipped with a spotting scope
and radio and would conduct visual surveillance before and during the
blasting.
95. Any additional landscaping or landscape alteration outside of fenced areas
shall consist of plant species that are native to the immediate areas. No
oleanders shall be planted on the project perimeter or within areas open to
undeveloped areas.
96. The final design of any perimeter fencing or walls shall be reviewed by the
