Happy Valley Road Hillside Residence

A 6,160-square-foot home on a steep Happy Valley Road lot drew strong neighbor opposition over renderings said to understate the slope, disputed storm drain connections, grading intensity and tree removal. The Commission approved Phase I 3-1 with added tree-retention and peer-reviewed hydrology conditions.
