He discussed the type of trenching that had been performed in studying the site. He commented on the performance of engineered fill and bedrock during an earthquake. He said if everything done on the site is done in accordance with the plans, the Uniform Building Code and other regulations, the seismicity of the site is not an area of concern and this would be a reasonable place to purchases a home. Martin Vitz, City Planner, described the project site on Lake Chabot Road and the surrounding area. He said the property was a former rock quarry which had been substantially graded, primarily during quarry operations. He said the quarry's closure plan provided for residential development.
