Paragraph (i): Vision Clearance Area: No development is proposed within the vision clearance area between the driveway and Day Island Road. Paragraph (j): Stormwater: Please refer to the preliminary stormwater report accompanying this application. Paragraph (k): All Other Applicable Development Standards: • EC 9.4920 details components of the Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone. The Goal 5 Site Designation is 'E42' and the Riparian Habitat Site Category is 'E', requiring no setback. The Conservation Area is therefore coincident with the Goal 5 Area boundary identified on the existing conditions plan. • EC 9.4930 details uses and activities permitted and prohibited in the'WR' Overlay Zone. Outside the identified Conservation Area, the base zone governs, however, within the Conservation Area, the development may only involve the removal of dead, hazardous, or non-native plants and trees, and replace them with native plants and trees. • EC 9.5500 provides Special Development Standards for multi-family development, including: o Minimum building length along street frontages of at least 100 feet is 60%. The proposed development has approximately 320 feet of street frontage along Day Island Road, requiring 192 feet of building within the maximum building setback, however, we are only proposing 115 feet of building width along the street due to the significant easements that exist at either end of the street frontage. The street frontage outside the easements is only 170 feet, requiring 102 feet of building width. This adjustment is justified per the criteria listed in EC 9.8030(2), which allows for adjustments that contribute to the continuity of building facades along the street, create an attractive pedestrian environment along the street, and are compatible with adjacent development. Since the adjacent properties do not contain any buildings abutting the street, the first criterion is moot. The second criterion is met due to the fact that the majority of the remaining site area within the maximum setback is landscaped or hard surfaced for pedestrian access. Lastly, the only adjacent development is an existing hotel on the property to the north, which is also oriented east-west with the narrow end of the building facing the street. o Building orientation must face the street with at least one main entrance facing the street. While the building is oriented east-west, the west end of the building, facing Day Island Road, is architecturally identified as the primary orientation with massing and material/color selection. o Maximum building length within 40 feet of the front lot line is 150 feet. The development proposes 115 feet. Windows must cover a minimum of 15% of the fagade on each floor level. This requirement is met on levels 2-6, however, due to the flood elevation being considerably higher than the ground floor elevation, very little occupiable space is proposed for the ground floor and, therefore, the minimum window coverage at level 1 is not met. This adjustment is justified per the criteria listed in EC 9.8030(8)(a), which requires the fagade to create a vibrant street fagade with visual detail and to provide multiple entrances to the
