FILE #17-3939 15 May 2017 Page 2 of 4 1) Consistent with the community management plan; The intent for the proposed grading is residential in nature, is consistent with the permitted uses for the Property, and is compliant with the zoning code and comprehensive plan. 2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; The proposed slope restoration, grading, and plantings are residential in nature and are compliant with the zoning code. 3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; This statement is true. 4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; This statement is true. 5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; This statement is true. 6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; The proposed restoration work within the 75 -foot setback area will have no impact on surrounding lands and is intended to avoid further damage. Drainage patterns for runoff leaving the adjacent sites will not be significantly altered. Once completed the existing staircase and new plantings should be the only visual changes when viewed from the lake. 7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; The proposed restoration work within the 75 -foot setback area is intended to avoid further damage. Drainage patterns for runoff leaving the sites will not be significantly altered. The retaining walls should be hidden behind vegetative screening when viewed from the lake. The import and export of materials is necessary to restore the slope failure, once completed, it will have no impact on surrounding lands. The slope, once vegetated and landscaped should not have an adverse impact on the neighborhood or the lake. 8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; The applicant is proposing to remove approximately 300 cubic yards of unstable material and replace with approximately 500 cubic yards of clean, angular soil to stabilize the slope and aid in stormwater management. It is likely adjacent lakeshore properties will not be impacted. The transfer of materials on and off the site will be reviewed and monitored closely by the City's engineer to assure that adjacent properties and the lake are not adversely impacted. 9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; The proposed use of the property will not be changing as a result of the proposed grading activity so there should be no change in the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties. 10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; The finished slope will be vegetated and landscaped; it should blend into the Property. 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; This statement is true.
