� t 'S- � Page 3 '' ) + ::idk.:":;. +. ;ti:. � 1. There is no other reasonable use or feasible alternative to the proposed development with less impact on the environmentally sensitive area; and 2. The proposed development does not pose a threat to the public health, safety and welfare on or off of the subject lot; and 7. Any alterations permitted to� the requirements of this Ordinance shall be the minimum necessary to allow for reasonable use of the property; and 4. The inability of the applicant to derive reasonable economic� use of the property is not the result of actions by the applicant in subdividing the property or adjustinq a boundary line thereby creating the undevelopable condition afYer the effective date of this ordinance; and 5. The . proposal mitigates . the impacts on the environmentally�sensitive areas to the maximus� extent possible. In support of these findings, the.applicant has submitted responses to the reo,uired. items listed under 37.o50.C, including a wetland,delineation report.- These itens are attached as Exhibit III. Hased on the. submiLted information, the Planning Director has determined per section 37.050.9.1.2 (Reasonable Use Administrative Modification)�that: � . . 1. There is no other reasonable use or alternative to the proposed development with lPas impact upon the environnentally sensitive area. The existing R-1 zoning allows�for only one single family unit upon the property,�which is the�least intense "reasonable" land use for this property. Other potentially "feasible" alternatives to the proposed house such as transfer of development rights do not work .for one. sinqle family residence, since there is insufficient incentive for a developer to provide an additional lot to the applicant when the code provides for only a 20� increase over that one transferred unit. Impacts to�the existinq strean,. vetland and � buffer �vegetation will be siqnificantly reduced by locating ��the proposed structure within the most degraded portion of the site, furthest away from the majority of the undisturbed buffer and wetland areas.
