Save Laurel Way
Convert 10-foot-wide dirt road into a 28-foot-wide, bi-level street + 16-foot retaining wall + 50-foot-wide cul-de-sac
Cover more than 50% of site with impervious surfaceso “Creating impervious area over approximately 50 percent of the
site will almost certainly decrease ground water recharge, reducing base flows in the stream channel within and downstream of the site. Ground-water flow paths may also be altered by the extensive cut and fill proposed, and by placement of subterranean structures. These issues will be assessed
at a later date in the CEQA document.” Storm Drainage Peer Review at 2.
At a minimum, five years of constant construction
