The existing two-story home is approximately 1,910 sq. ft. in size and was constructed in 2000. The site is located in the R-6 zoning district and Residential Medium Density Comprehensive Plan Designation. The entire parcel is mapped with High Erosion Hazards and High Landslide Hazards and there is a protected slope on the north edge of the site that begins at the toe of an ecology block wall and extends approximately 18 feet to the north and descends approximately 20 feet downward. On the opposite edge of the same ecology block retaining wall a sensitive slope extends under the deck with a vertical rise of approximately 7 to 9 feet. A small area on the south end of the subject property is mapped with Moderate Coalmine Hazards. The applicant is requesting a Reasonable Use Variance from the 15-foot structure setback from protected slopes required by RMC 4-3-050 G.2 in order to allow the proposed deck to remain as constructed as close as 3’8” and as far as 5’9” from the top of the slope. The applicant is also requesting an Administrative Variance from development regulations to vary from the side yard setbacks which require a combined 15-feet with not less than 5-feet on either side and rear yard setback of 25 feet to allow the deck to remain as constructed and extend to both side yard property lines and within 7.5 feet of the rear yard property line. The single -family project is not categorically exempt from Environmental Review as it is encroaching into the setback of a protected slope and requires a variance from the critical areas regulations. No trees or vegetation would be removed as a part of the project. The applicant submitted a geotechnical report and drainage evaluation with the application.
