The project is being designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact. 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; the applicant shall be advised of the lighting requirement regarding the home and detached garage; and 15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. The Applicants 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. The grading project will be monitored by the MCWD, the City Engineer and planning staff so as to minimize nuisances during the project. Staff believes this criterion is met. A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally, a CUP shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are observed, but nothing in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official controls to change the status of conditional uses. Septic System Status The property is served by City sewer. Practical Difficulties Statement Applicant has completed the Practical Difficulties Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. Practical Difficulties and Conditional Use Permit Analysis Staff finds practical difficulties based on the size of the property, the areas impacted by the 1% chance of annual flood, elevation of the property to support the variances for lot area and width, as well as the requested hardcover, lake and average lakeshore setback variances for the new home. The applicant has provided landscape improvements which appear to offer relief to the neighbors to the west regarding the floodplain as well as created areas of infiltration to mitigate the impacts of the home on the property. Engineer Comments The City's engineer has conducted a cursory review of the plans. At the time of the building permit a more detailed grading plan review will take place. The MCWD engineers and staff are currently reviewing the floodplain mitigation plan.
