encroachment to meet the requirements of the public facility of utility and not pose an unreasonable threat to the health, safety, or
welfare on or off the subject property. The intrusion shall attempt to protect and mitigate impacts to the critical area function and

(4) Demolition of structures. The applicant shall submit a temporary erosion and sedimentation control plan and apply for applicable
demolition permit(s).
(5) Restoration and enhancement that does not alter the location, dimensions, or size of the critical area or buffer and does not reduce
the existing quality or functions of the critical area or buffer. The applicant shall submit a restoration and/or enhancement plan prepared
by a qualified professional or as determined by the director.
(6) Removal of invasive and noxious vegetation with mechanized equipment and/or with the use of herbicides.
