the surrounding area. <br />After reviewing the applicant's site plans Public Works staff determined that the applicant has <br />not proposed excavation or grading at the bottom of slopes. See Public Works Referral <br />Comments dated July 29, 2019. The Planning Commission therefore finds that the proposed <br />development will follow recommendation #3 (avoid removing materials from the bottoms of <br />slopes (excavation or grading)). <br />Based on the evidence in the record, the Planning Commission finds that: 1) the PUD will utilize <br />development techniques consistent with the recommendations included in the applicant's <br />February 6, 2017 and May 14, 2019 Geotechnical Investigations that do not require removal <br />mass at the base or toe of slopes; 2) the proposed PUD will utilize development techniques <br />consistent with the recommendations included in the applicant's February 6, 2017 and May 14, <br />2019 Geotechnical Investigations that do not add mass to the top of slopes; and 3) consistent <br />with the recommendations included in the applicant's February 6, 2017 and May 14, 2019 <br />Geotechnical Investigations the proposed PUD includes a system that captures stormwater <br />runoff from impervious surfaces and conveys that water to suitable points of disposal. The <br />Planning Commission finds that the applicant has adequately considered on-site impacts of the <br />proposed development and will implement recommendations designed to minimize those <br />impacts. <br />For all the reasons articulated above, as well as the reasons articulated in the Hearings Official's <br />decision dated April 20, 2018, and the Planning Commission's Final Order dated June 14, 2018, <br />the Planning Commission finds that the applicant's Geotechnical Investigations provide an <br />adequate review of the on-site impacts of the proposed development and demonstrate that <br />the proposed PUD will not create a significant risk to public health and safety through soil <br />erosion or slope failure. <br />Remand ;Issue' #2: Significant Risk to Public Health and Safety and Off-Site Impacts <br />Final Order: Capital Hill PUD (PDT 17-1) Remand Page 8 <br />
