Ayes 5, nays 0. ( #8) #1919 TY BUCEY, 2677 CASCO POINT ROAD - VARIANCES /CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - RESOLUTION NO. 3430 Gaffron reviewed the staff report and described the drainage patterns proposed by the applicants. A letter from Beverly and Louis Smerling was entered into the record. Mrs. Smerling reviewed the history of the area and the relationship of her property to that now owned by Mr. Bucey. She stated she believed the house proposed by the applicants was too large for the site and there was the potential for water runoff to damage her property. She stated she was not in agreement with the proposal and wished this to be on record in the event of problems arising in the future so she would have some measure of recourse. Ty Bucey stated they had reduced the height of the house to fit within the code and the drainage plan was designed to have the water flow to the north and west sides of the is property away from the Smerling's property. Mayor Callahan inquired if there was anything that gave Mrs. Smerling reason to believe the present situation would be worse. Mrs. Smerling responded that the plans were changed from the original presentation but the drainage pattern will be changed from what previously existed on the property because the footprint of the house has been changed. She felt the larger house may cause water to find a way into areas that were not affected previously. Bucey stated there was about one hundred square feet in area difference between the previous structure which burned and the proposed house, so the amount of structural coverage on the site has not changed much. Jabbour commented that if the applicant is staying within the ordinance requirements and is eliminating the excess hardcover, then he felt it was a major improvement. Cook stated that the drainage plan will work and the water runoff will flow to the west with the drainage swale. Discussion ensued regarding the existing drainage on the site. Goetten inquired who would be supervising the final grading to ensure that it was done according to the plans and Gaffron responded that the City Engineer will be reviewing the final grading on the site to ensure that it's done correctly. is 4
