A. The structure, or any portion thereof, has been destroyed by any involuntary causes including fire, earthquake or flood.

B. The proposed structure to replace or reconstruct the destroyed structure or portion thereof, is substantially the same with respect to its use, dimensions, floor area, square footage, lot coverage and footprint as the destroyed structure or portion thereof and complies with all currently applicable building codes.

C. If a culvert exists on the parcel and the proposed replacement will be within 15 feet of the centerline of such culvert, the applicant has submitted a report by a licensed structural engineer demonstrating to the satisfaction of the City that the proposed replacement structure will not negatively affect the culvert and that the replacement structure is designed with a foundation, such as pile supported, which does not exert any bearing load on the culvert. In making this determination, the report included information related to the proposed foundation design, the bearing strength of the soil, and the depth and size of the culvert. Alternatively, the applicant has submitted a report by a licensed structural engineer which has demonstrated to the City's satisfaction either that there is no feasible alternative to avoid imposing additional loading on the culvert, and the analysis provided has determined that the culvert has sufficient strength to resist such loading or the applicant proposes to reinforce the culvert as part of the project at the applicant's expense in a manner satisfactory to the City.
