. , ,,,� ,•,, , , ; � a. Findina: Inspection of the property by the City Drainage Engineer found that the foundation for this home is within approximately five feet of the top of the bank of the west fork of North Creek. The existing channel is only approximately two feet wide as it crosses the subject property. Although the subject property is approximately six feet higher than the stream, the property immediately to the north is very near stream level and likely floods already. Therefore, the stream channel should not be disturbed or fil)ed in any manner. There are a couple of locations where this has appeared to have occurred already. The existing stream channel makes a 90 degree turn just as it enters the subject property. This location will be highly susceptible to bank erosion, and bank erosion, if uncontrolled, may ultimately undermine the foundation. Any variance should be contingent upon compliance with conditions as recommended by Public Works in order to ' alleviate the above concerns. b. Conclusion: Compliance with conditions recommended by Public Works is necessary to assure that granting this variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the vicinity or zone. Criterion No. 4• '� That the grantinq of such variance will not adversely affect the � Comprehensive General Plan. il a. Findina: The comprehensive plan designation for this area is single family residential. b.
