FILE # 17-3928 17 April 2017 Page 3 of 4 impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses. The result of the proposed grading will not change the intended residential use of the property so there should be no change in the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties resulting from the export of fill materials. However, activity of exporting approximately 500 cubic yards of fill and active grading of the property can have a temporary adverse impact on neighbors. The import, and grading work on the subject property as well as the forthcoming construction of the proposed home could result in additional noise, dust, vibration and traffic on the haul routes and immediate neighbors. To the degree possible, negative impacts should be limited and mitigated. 10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; The finished grade will be vegetated and landscaped; it should blend into the property and the neighboring properties. The project, once completed, should not result in undesirable views requiring mitigation. 11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; see #9 above. 12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; The applicant will be required to keep debris off of the public roadways. The noise resulting from the trucks hauling and equipment moving the material in and around the site should be minimized to the extent possible. Casco Point Road is a dead end road.

The long term effect of the project should result in minimal environmental impacts. The project will be monitored by the City, to prevent erosion from the site. 14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; There should be no lighting or glare resulting from the grading project; and 15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. See #12 above. A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe.
