a. Using all or part of the footprint of the replaced dwelling or near a road, ditch, river, property line, forest boundary or another natural boundary of the lot or parcel; and b. If possible, for the purpose of minimizing the adverse impacts on resource use of land in the area, within a concentration or cluster of structures or within 500 yards of another structure. The applicant states that they plan to build a replacement dwelling approximately 135 feet north of the current dwelling to be out of the 100-year floodplain. They state that this would be ideal for mitigating adverse impacts on the land in the event of a flood and decrease the disturbance to the floodplain. The chosen location also keeps the replacement dwelling clustered within 500 yards of the surrounding dwellings and other buildings in the area. The criterion is met. Within the floodplain overlay zone according to MCC 17.178.040 (C): New residential structures and manufactured dwellings and replacement residential structures that are not being replaced in the same location as the original residential structure are prohibited in the floodplain if there is an area on the subject property that is located outside of the floodplain where the residential structure can be placed. An exception to this prohibition may be granted if a floodplain development permit and variance meeting the criteria in MCC 17.178.090 are obtained. The application states that the applicant plans to build the replacement dwelling outside the identified 100-year floodplain and therefore will not be rebuilt in the original footprint. This satisfies MCC 17.137.030 (E)(7b) and MCC 17.178.040 (C). The criterion are met. 8. Based on the above findings, it has been determined that the existing dwelling was legally established and may be altered, restored and/or replaced. Brandon Reich Date: November 14, 2024.
