culverting n up nl water e qual ityerand u habitathevalue c canf rbe <br /> mitfqated. <br /> FINDINGS: The following findinqs ere besed on reviewinq the <br /> proposed project against the ebove review criteria. (1) The <br /> applicent has stetfromt atayi g ewithine the if nceda area�ta <br /> considered ranging <br /> placing the eddition on the south side of tha substation to <br /> avoid culverting the stream. The alternetive to culvert was <br /> exiatinqiarea and thennreau to thetaouth is lower ithan the <br /> grade of the existing aubstation and would require n large <br /> nmount of fill. Correct placement of the conduits also needa <br /> to be considered. <br /> (2) No hebitat exists in the proposed expeneion nree. <br /> (3) The culvert is not beinq used to access the site but for <br /> expanding the substation to the west over the stream. <br /> Expandinq to the weat will require the least amount of chenge <br /> to the landscape. <br /> CONCLUSION: Minimum impact will be pleced upon the weter <br /> quality and hebitat value. <br /> PNtT III <br /> INTRODUCTION: Above qround utility facilitiee are requirad <br /> zone ensection 35.07o ellowsCthe Planning nDirector to modify <br /> lendscaping requirements in certain situntions. <br /> Bt,CRGROUND: Lnndscape Cnteqory C requires TYPB III <br /> lendscapinq 10� in width along the street frontnge end 5� in <br /> width elonq the interior lot linas. section 35.070.1►.3 of <br /> tha Zoning Code allows modification to this requirement when <br /> exiBting conditions on or axistin t eqetetion telocation iof <br /> differancea in elevation, 9 <br /> buildings or utilities would render the requirements of this <br /> Section ineffective. <br /> FINDINGS: The substetion does not front any public <br /> rights-of-vays, is not ndjecent to eny surroundinq lend uses, <br /> and is hidden for the most part by treas elonq the roadweys <br /> end woodlands to tha north nnd wast.
