► To achieve acceptance as an Energy Star Partner committed to obtaining Energy Star certification for the proposed homes.
► To enhance protection of and decrease disturbance to the Burke Creek SEZ on the project site;
► To provide safe and convenient public access through the project site with pedestrian/bicycle paths;
► To create permanent open space of 10.7 acres for public access and conservation;
► To reduce soil erosion from and improve water quality of existing runoff from the project site;
► To continue to cooperate with Douglas County to help address existing erosion and water quality issues associated with direct runoff onto the project site from Lake Village Drive/Echo Drive via EIP #679 Phase II;
► To continue to cooperate with TRPA to address the restoration of the portion of Burke Creek located on the project site via EIP #161;
► To implement a stormwater management plan designed to treat all runoff from the site and which would exceed existing TRPA regulatory requirements for stormwater runoff in the Lake Tahoe Basin;
