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 heaith, safety and welfare on or off of the subject lot; and 3. 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 adjusting a boundary line thereby creating the undevelopable condition after the effective date of this Ordinance; and 5. The proposal mitigates the impacts ori the environmentally sensitive areas to the maximum extent possible. Tfie Planning Director's conclusions are as follows: 1. There is no other reasonable use or alternative to the proposed development witF, less impact upon the environmentally sensitive area. The R-1 zone allows a single family residence upon a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. The proposed residence is being located oriy 6 feet from the front property fine to help minimize the impact upon the siope and wetland/stream areas. The top of slope will be fenced except for those areas necessary for the buildings footprint and the wetland/stream area left in its present state and placed witl�in a protective covenant area. 2. The proposed development does not pose a threat to the public health, satety and welfare on or off of the subject lot. If the recommendations of the geotechnical study arE followed, the development is not anticipated to pose a threat to the public. 3. Any alterations permitted to the requirement of this Ordinance shall be the minimum necessary to allow for reasonable use of the property. The proposed residence is typical in size to other residences in the area. The applicant proposes to place the residence within the 25 foot buffer from the top of bank and along portions of the steep slope areas and reduce the setback from the front property line to only 6 feet. This will provide a reasonable building footprint for the subject property. 4. 1 iie inability of the appficant to derive reasonable economic use o(the property is not the result of actions by the applicant in subdividing the property or adjusting a boundar�line thereby creating the undevelopable condition after the effective date of this G ?ce.
