e. The proposed structure shall not obstruct more than thirty percent (30%) of the view <br />of the shoreline enjoyed by the structures within the view corridor. <br />f. The structure shall be located and oriented on the subject property in a manner that <br />diminishes the potential view impact. <br />g. No side yard setbacks shall be reduced to accommodate the proposed structure. Side <br />yard setbacks may be increased where necessary to mitigate potential view <br />obstruction resulting from the proposed structure. <br />h. Extraordinary circumstances are demonstrateddemonstrated, and the public interest <br />will be served by the proposed use or development. <br />5. Where permitted above ground, power poles and transmission towers are not subject to <br />height limits but shall not be higher than necessary to address public safety and meet <br />federal and state standards. <br />6. The following types of development are not subject to side yard setbacks, provided that <br />they are constructed and maintained in a manner that minimizes adverse impacts on <br />shoreline functions and processes, and provided further that they comply with all <br />applicable regulations in KCC 17B.05.020 Environmental protection and critical areas <br />and KCC 17B.05.050 Shoreline buffers and vegetation conservation: <br />a. Those portions of approved water-dependent development that require a location <br />waterward of the OHWM of rivers and lakes, associated wetlands and/or within their <br />associated buffers. <br />b. Underground utilities. <br />c. Modifications to existing development that are necessary to comply with <br />environmental requirements of any agency, when otherwise consistent with this <br />Program, provided that the Administrator determines that the facility cannot meet the <br />dimensional standard and accomplish the purpose for which it is intended and the <br />facility is located, designed, and constructed to meet specified dimensional standards <br />to the maximum extent feasible, and the modification is in conformance with the <br />provisions of KCC 17B.07.020(3) Prior development and KCC 17B.07.020(4) Non- <br />conformance. <br />d. Roads, railways and other essential public facilities that must cross shorelines and are <br />necessary to access approved water-dependent development. <br />e. Stairs and walkways not greater than five (5) feet in width or eighteen (18) inches in <br />height above grade, except for railings. <br />f. An essential public facility or public utility where the Administrator determines that no <br />feasible alternative location will accommodate the use. <br />g. Shared moorages shall not be subject to side yard setbacks when located on or <br />adjacent to a property line shared in common by the project proponents. <br />7. Common line shoreline buffer: To ensure new single-family dwellings have similar, though <br />not necessarily equivalent, shoreline views as existing development, a common line <br />shoreline buffer – determined by averaging the buffers for each of the adjacent residential <br />dwelling units on the shoreline – may be utilized for the development of a single-family <br />dwelling where: <br />a. The lot was a legal lot of record in place on the date of adoption of this Program; <br />b. The lot is located adjacent to existing residential dwelling units on both adjacent <br />shoreline lots;
