View ImpactReference to visual simulation purporting to show obstructed coastal view

No impact to public views- Referenced visual simulation taken from golf course and not from public vantage

point- Private views are not protected by Coastal Act

Water QualitySpecial conditions of approval defer mitigation

Special conditions are permissible and not considered deferred mitigation- Conceptual WQMP contains specific features to protect water quality

Landform AlterationImportation of 34,000 cubic yards would alter existing landform

Site previously graded, developed with existing clubhouse and not located on or near a beach, bluff, cliff or other natural landform- Import of 34,000 cubic yards (reduction in 5,000 cubic yards from original

proposal)- 21 days of truck trips associated with import- Will raise clubhouse 3’ from main level of existing clubhouse
