i 5. The proposal mitiyates the impacts on the environmentally sensitive areas to the maximum extent possible. The proposal locates the sr.ructure on the flatest, i .e. least envir•onmentally sensitive, part of the lot. 7n addition, the follov�ing information �s submitted: 1. A description of the areas of the 1ot which are either environmentaily sensitive or within setbacks required by the zoning code. 7he subject property consists of an approximately 11, 500 square foot lot ;�ith extr2me topographic changes. There is an apprcximately 50 foot by 50 foot buildable area located in the southeast corner of the lot with the rema�nder of the lot falling off rapidly to form a steep ravine. The applicant is proposing to have a six foot front setback instead of the twenty feet +'equired by code. The street in front of the property dead ends approximately 35 feet west of the east r.orner of the subject property. The street has 60 feet of right of way with approximately twenty feet of paving which leaves fourteen feet of unused riyht of way. If the reasonable use is granted, there would be twenty feet from the front of the proposed structure to the edge of the paving. 2. A description of the amount of the 1ot which is within setbacks reyuired by other standards of the zoning code. N/A i! 3. An analysis of the minimum amount of development that would be cons'idered "reasonable economic use". of the 1ot, including a nsrr�tive which includes a factual basis for this determination. I The minimum amount of development that would be considered "reasonable � economic use' . of the lot is a single family dwelling, similar to development on surrounding properties. There are other houses on the north side of 39th Street west of Friday that do not meet the twenty foot front setback. In addition, on the next street to the north, Angle Lane, a variance was granted for front yard setback because of the steep slope. The house in question fronts on Angle Lane on the other side of the ravine. 4. An analysis of the impact that the amount of development described in #3 would have on the en��ironmentally sensitive areas. If granted the requested reasonable use, the amount of development described in #3 would have virtually no impact on the environmentally sensitive areas, as the development would not encroach on these areas. u�� L -
