Since then, there have been many changes <br />to the proposal. The applicants propose the removal of an existing <br />detached garage to be replaced by an attached garage and a <br />driveway. They also propose a new deck and a second story addition <br />over the existing residence. This proposal results in the following <br />hardcover percentages: 0 -75' reduction from 8.9 %.to 7.2 %; 75 -250' <br />increase from 22.1% to 40.5 %; and a reduction in the 250 -500' zone. <br />He clarified that the applicants intend to keep the wall and <br />sidewalk system on the northwest corner of the house, but noted <br />that it is built with wooden cribbing containing non - compacted <br />gravel, that only the cribbing is considered hardcover, and the <br />square footage of existing walkway hardcover is equivalent to' the <br />amount reported for replacement. <br />Mr. Johnson stated they need to keep this system for drainage <br />purposes. <br />Gaffron reported the Planning Commission's main concern was the <br />steep lot and the amount of run -off funneled toward the lake. He <br />stated the City Engineer had reviewed the property that day. <br />Cook recommended the City condition approval on the applicants <br />maintaining the drainageway in a manner that prevents erosion. <br />Goetten asked if Cook felt the new proposal helps the drainage <br />situation. <br />Cook noted the renovation will channelize the drainage and will <br />increase the velocity of that run -off. <br />Goetten asked who is responsible if the improvements on the <br />property aggravate the drainage problem in the area. <br />Cook stated the City should make it known it is the responsibility <br />of the property owner to correct any future drainage problems. <br />E <br />
