Barnhart stated he does not recall any changes to the configuration to the driveway but that the resolution <br />included language that the condition of Ivy Place and the private driveway be noted prior to construction <br />and after construction. <br />Lemke asked if the building outline is exact. <br />Fretham indicated those are approximate. <br />Lemke asked if they will get smaller. <br />Fretham stated they likely will not get larger. <br />Lemke asked if there is a consideration for the height. <br />Fretham noted there is a view easement on Lot 2, which is why the building footprint on that lot is more <br />stretched out. Fretham indicated they have been in discussions about purchasing the easement so the <br />height of the building can be increased but that he is not sure where that is at this point. <br />Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:58 p.m. <br />Jay White, 3560 Ivy Place, stated the yellow line on the map is the wetland border. White pointed out <br />their property and the easement, which has been surveyed on their property. White commented he is not <br />sure how they can fit a 12 -foot driveway into a 10 -foot easement and that he is not sure why the <br />calculations are not four feet off. White indicated he has spoken with the Watershed District about it and <br />they have verified that is the correct wetland border. White stated an 8 -foot driveway would fit there but <br />that a 12 -foot driveway would be into the setback. <br />Schoenzeit noted the applicant is requesting a 1.8 foot setback into that area. <br />White stated he has been out there countless times, measured it a few times, and that he does not see how <br />a 12 -foot driveway will fit in there. In addition, the Watershed District has verified where the boundary <br />is. White stated he would like to hear from the developer about what proof he has that he is not going <br />into the wetland rather than coming back at a later time for an after -the -fact variance. <br />
