Potential maximum building heights atop the new proposed grade will be <br /> substantially similar to existing conditions as the proposed grading is located on <br /> the low-end of the property ensuring the surrounding wooded slopes will continue <br /> to mitigate visual impacts from off-site thereby keeping the property compatible <br /> with the surrounding land uses both now and into the future. <br /> e.

The character of the area will not be impacted as proposed grades will tie into <br /> existing grades on neighboring properties and will prepare the site for use by a <br /> new single-family home which is compatible with surrounding land uses. <br /> g. The proposed building pad will acconunodate a home at an elevation and style <br /> that is compatible with adjacent lands. <br /> h. Tree removal which will result from the proposed land alteration activities is a <br /> permitted impact, and is therefore not in conflict with the requirements to <br /> minimize environmental impact and providing screening from surrounding uses. <br /> i.
