FINDTNGS OF FACT
3 1. Water service is available at the property. The Public
Works Department has determined that water service can be
4
made available to the property.
2. The proposal is consistent with City development
6 standards. Staff has determined that in general, the
7 proposal meets City Development standards. The City is
concerned about the potential for erosion Of the steep
8 bluff and sliding onto the City owned property at the
base. The development agreement includes provisions to
9 minimize the likelihood of this occurring.
10
3. The proposal is consistent with the City Comprehensive
]] Plan. Comprehensive Plan Designation in the area is for
Single Family Residential Development.

property, though adjacent to the City limits, is isolated
14 by steep bluffs. It is approximately 2.5 miles to the
City limits by road.

For each of the above reasons, the recommendation of the
