Considering the proposed grading of the entire island, the loss of virtually all vegetation on <br />the island during grading, the disturbance of the entire Shore Impact Zone, the location of the <br />proposed road entirely in the Shore Impact Zone, the failure of all structures to meet the 150 <br />foot required setback, it is hard to see how the proposal is consistent with the intent of the <br />City's Shoreland Management Overlay Ordinance, or the Statewide Standards for <br />Management of Shoreland Areas. We do not support the granting of a variance for decreased <br />setbacks as proposed. <br />6. It appears that the island may be unbuildable considering current zoning. If th.e City decides <br />somehow that the island can be built on, it may be beneficial to reduce the number of units, <br />"custom" grade the individual building sites to reduce soil disturbance and vegetation loss, <br />minimize the length and width of the road, and minimize impact to the Shore Impact Zone. <br />. Thank you for the opportunity to.comment. Please feel free to call me if you have questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />�G <br />Tom Hovey <br />Area Hydrologist <br />
