Yes, if you look at the property on the other side, lot 29, it is essentially the same side sloped house up to portola. There is basically a 5 foot setback from the home to the edge of the slope, so only enough space to use as a sideyard walking path. The homes are set about 20 feet below the top of the wall with only the roofs peeking up over the wall off of portola. It is a tall and deep slope. The slope coming from ridge valley is much smaller and doesn't go up nearly as high. The pad is only marginally bigger on the sloped lots which is why there isn't much of a lot premium for the lots with larger indicated sq footage.
