consistent with the properties in this development and has no adverse effects on

approximately 14% and is standard in this area for all of the residences that are built
on the hill in this development. Please see structural engineer plan attached with the
driveway drawn in.

the submittal requirement Sumittal requirement section 4-202, for a traffic study as
