AGENDAITEM Item No.: 22 Date: June 12, 2017 Item Description: #17-3939, John Bailey, 2807 Casco Point Road, Conditional Use Permit Presenter: Melanie Curtis Agenda Planning Department Planner Section: Report Purpose. To consider an application for a conditional use permit to repair a lake slope failure. 2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on April 19, 2017; and considered as complete on May 13. The 60 -Day review period expires on July 2, 2017. Background. The property owner is requesting a conditional use permit in order to repair and restore slope failures which occurred in his lake yard in June/July of 2014. The property owner has recently provided the City with a plan to restore his lakeshore slope. The project involves removal of the disturbed soil; sawtooth cutting the subgrade; and installation of.- new compacted soil, a yard drain, drainage pipe, Filtrexx living slope stabilization pods, and stabilizing vegetation. A conditional use permit is required to authorize the work on the property as the restoration work as proposed will exceed 50 cubic yards of material within the 0-75' zone. The applicant is proposing to remove approximately 300 cubic yards of compromised soil material and replace it with approximately 500 cubic yards of angular soil to be compacted and restored as shown on the plans. The plans provided by the Applicant indicate that the proposed improvements include detailed and complex solutions to deal with site drainage and slope stabilization; the scope of work includes infrastructure along with grading and vegetation. Due to the sensitivity of the slope, staff requested as required by Section 78-1283, additional supporting engineering for the mechanical drainage system; the applicant has not provided this information. 4. Planning Commission Comment. On May 15, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the application. Following the public hearing the Commission voted on a motion to recommend approval of the requested CUP conditioned upon submittal of a soil boring report and/or the slope stability analysis, and an engineer's opinion or certification on the drainage calculations used for the sizing of the drainage structures for the subsurface drainage system. 5. Public Comment. Mr. Frommelt, a neighbor, spoke at the Planning Commission meeting. No additional comments from the public were received regarding this application. 6. Staff Recommendation. The applicant has provided the additional documentation requested by the Planning Commission (Exhibit B). See the City Engineer's comments attached as Exhibit E. Staff recommends approval of the grading plan as proposed; further staff continues to recommend the drainage solutions be certified by a licensed professional engineer. Staff recommends direction to draft a resolution for approval or denial, and if a waiver of additional information is deemed appropriate findings to that effect. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Council should direct staff to draft a resolution reflecting your decision to be adopted at the June 26' meeting. Should Council direction differ from staff recommendation relating to the engineering please provide findings supporting the decision. Prepared By: YY1GG Reviewed By: J. Bamhart Approved By: NZ
