FILE#LA18-000094 <br /> November 18,2019 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> Septic System Status <br /> Not applicable. The subject property is served by municipal sewer. <br /> Conditional Use Permit Analysis <br /> The dock is proposed on the west side of Lot 1, Block 1. The dock as proposed is not intended for <br /> human habitation, and will have a low flood damage potential. The dock will not impede flood <br /> waters. Electrical features, if added, will need to be elevated above regulatory flood elevation. <br /> These meet the floodplan standards. <br /> There are two easement in the general area that may be impacted by the proposed dock. <br /> Shoreline stabilization Easement (Document T5036119) was established in 2012 to stabilize the <br /> shoreline. The easement language (Exhibit D) includes the following: <br /> "All Planted and seeded areas will be maintained in perpetuity free from mowing or other <br /> vegetative disturbance, except as specified herein, fertilizer application, yard or other waste <br /> disposal, and the placement of structures or any alterations that impede the function of the <br /> shoreline in protecting water quality, shading the riparian edge, moderating flow into any <br /> adjacent wetland or waterbody, or provided wildlife habitat." <br /> The dock is not expected to impede the water quality protection, riparian edge water shading, or <br /> moderating water flow functions. However, site improvements, including but not limited to tree <br /> and vegetative removal, storage features, and seating areas can impede these functions and <br /> should not be incorporated in the easement area. Staff concurs with the watershed district's <br /> recommendation that a path no wider than 4 feet be established for access to the dock. The <br /> Commission could require the corresponding dock sections be no wider than 4 feet. <br /> Permanent Drainage and Utility Easement(Document T05539808) <br /> The proposed improvement encroaches very minimally into the easement area, and is <br /> setback from the sanitary sewer. The improvement is not expected to impact the improvement <br /> or the easement. <br /> Public Comments <br /> To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the <br /> property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? <br /> 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the <br /> essential character of the neighborhood? <br /> 3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the <br /> impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? <br /> 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Planning Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning Staff supports the Conditional Use Permit as shown, with the following conditions: <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> Exhibit A.
