LA19-000042—MATTHEW JASPER, 1929 FAGERNESS POINT ROAD, INTERIM USE PERMIT—RESOLUTION NO. 7002 AND ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT Matthew Jasper,Applicant, was present. Oakden stated the applicant is requesting an interim use permit to export approximately 1,000 cubic yards of material as part of the construction of a new home. The applicant is also requesting an encroachment agreement to construct retaining walls in the right-of-way to address drainage on the property. In addition,the project proposes the construction of retaining walls in the right-of-way. The retaining walls are proposed to support the driveway and help mitigate runoff from the property down to the street. Any improvements in the right-of-way require Council approval of an encroachment agreement. Retaining walls support the existing drainage patterns on adjacent properties in this neighborhood, including the adjoining neighbor to the south. The Planning Commission reviewed and discussed the application and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the IUP request. The Planning Commission does not review encroachment requests. One written comment was received with concerns regarding runoff of water and drainage. Two adjacent property owners spoke at the public hearing expressing concerns regarding drainage in the neighborhood. The applicant is proposing to address these concerns by installing retaining walls to better direct runoff and to install a gutter system connected to a cistern in the rear of the property. The City Engineer will also be reviewing the building permit for the construction of the home as it pertains to grading. Page 7 of 10
