Every site is different. I think the main idea in the Green Building Council note is to give bulldozing careful thought and not just assume one has to shred the lot edge to edge.
I have seen nice close work done by Bob Hill, who owns a small dozer. A smaller dozer will cost less per hour, probably take longer than a D-9, but can do much more delicate work for essentially the same money.
I do suggest that in planning your driveway you think in terms of delivery, container and concrete trucks making the turn into the drive. To this end gate posts (if any) should be back far enough and spaced wide enough to allow easy large vehicle access. A large vehicle could include a fire truck.

Assume the best and ask questions.
