88 ATTACHMENT 1 Page 7 b. The development would maintain the stability of the slopes of the creek bank because the applicant is proposing a utility plan with storm drainage directed to El Camino and any development within 30 feet of the toe of the creek bank would be constructed on piers and grade beam foundations. The project wit! not include any modifications to the creek bank (except reestablishment of riparian vegetation) and the structures that will be built as part of the project will not bear any loads on the creek bank. c.
