Please consider this letter a formal request for an 8040 Greenline Exemption for this access road improvement. The current access road down the steep fall line in this location is difficult to negotiate and maintain in its current condition. We propose to use a product called Enviroflex to reinforce two 21" wide tracks where truck tires run. The length of the access is approximately 300 feet. This installation will allow for improved revegetation of the area while minimizing the continued erosion. The intent is to continue with improved maintenance access the south side of the upper Gondola Plaza that was started last year with the "Driveable Grass" installation. Following a pre-application conference with Jessica Garrow, we learned that an 8040 Greenline exemption is required for this work. Based on direction from City Staff, we request an exemption based on the criteria outlined in Land Use Code Section 26.435.030.13, 8040 Greenline Exemption. Land Use Code Section 26.435.030.13, Exemption, states that "The Community Development Director may exempt the expansion, remodeling or reconstruction of an existing 8040 Greenline development if the following standards are met": 1. The development does not add more than ten percent (10%) to the floor area of the existing structure or increase the total amount of square footage of areas of the structure which are exempt from floor area calculations by more than twenty-five percent (25%); and 2. The development does not require the removal of any tree for which a permit would be required pursuant to Section 15.04.450 or the applicant receives a permit pursuant to said Section; and 3. The development is located such that it is not affected by any geologic hazard and will not result in increased erosion and sedimentation. m 4. All exemptions are cumulative. Once a development reaches the totals specified in Subsection 26.435.030.B.1, an 8040 Greenline review must be obtained pursuant to Subsection 26.435.030.0." We feel the proposed project meets the City's definition of"structure"but does not count in floor area. The proposal meets all of the above requirements. We have contacted the City's Engineering Department and have been directed to concurrently submit a Landscape and Grading Permit application.

Each block vertically interlocks with an overlapping connection, eliminating block-to-block protrusions in the direction of flow. The non-protruding ENVIROFLiEX®system design reduces surface drag on the block during flow events, which minimizes overturning potential, creating the most stable ACB surface in the market. ENVIROFLEX°is manufactured from fiber reinforced concrete for added tensile strength. Openings in the block allow for infiltration and groundwater recharge to help mitigate flooding and storm water pollution. The openings also allow for vegetation to establish,which promotes bio- filtration and results in a green,natural,and environmentally 3. x. pleasing appearance.ENVIROFLEX°is FHWA tested. 3 A,� cz c r i in cu CL m ir Q O '¢� O O O' N td O y i .m m a) a) c t ° a E o c ° c m io m o � o m a r �'r � � � + ( „' +� �`y •, CL cmi o � m `z a _ o ya � � � 1 E a`) U U a E c m a`N c E m 6 t 14+ �r o a) N 9 m En o o m m a) m ° o o c m - U > _ LL Li mCnaamUZ o Q m y N J uj yj O O •_ t/Yf� � F 0 N C E Q) cz C m N cc Z N E N ) m W _ c w a 4 a) � - a - ° m o o p O X C O ° 0 co �9k♦' r �� uj E m — cc LL a)Cw, CD N L _O C C V W H a cu 1 Z c ° ..................................................................... n ti S 90 6• l w,. r� ' 4 xlLq Lz—i CD.am LO N I x _ O p Lq r 117 l/7 cq M d N O R M O O N CD O V M O N O L C C N M 1fI N N N W i O L C N O O) C X C 9 O V J E.2 � @7xx O ?

The surface is considered development and is located within 150 feet of the 8040 elevation line, so the proposal is therefore subject to an 8040 Greenline Review. A property can expand floor area by up to 10% or expand exempt space up to 25% and qualify for an 8040 Greenline exemption. These figures are cumulative — once exemptions have been received for a 10% increase in floor area or a 25% increase in exempt space, the property is subject to a regular 8040 Greenline Review with the P&Z. The surface does not count as floor area, and therefore floor area calculations are not required. Referrals to Engineering and Parks will'be required. Staff recommends the applicant speak with the engineering department regarding and permitting or stormwater requirements prior to making the 8040 Greenline application.
