JOSEPH CHURCH—4440 FOREST LAKE LANDING—ENCROACHMENT <br /> AGREEMENT <br /> Curtis stated the applicant approached the City in June of 2013 with a request for permission to conduct <br /> some maintenance improvements and minor changes to the driveway and sidewalk access to his property <br /> which are located entirely within the City right-of-way. At that time the applicant was requesting <br /> approval to expand the driveway and reconstruct the stairs and sidewalk that access the home. The <br /> applicant indicated that he would be agreeable to the future removal of the deck/patio and also entering <br /> into an encroachment agreement. The applicant was instructed to provide a plan for the desired <br /> improvements. <br /> Curtis stated since that time, the applicant has provided a survey for the property and has revised his <br /> request. At the present time the applicant is not requesting approval for any expansion of hardcover but is <br /> proposing to rebuild the stairs and sidewalk and driveway in the same footprint as existing. In addition, <br /> he intends to re-grade the side yard so that the retaining walls on the east side of the driveway can be <br /> removed. The lower grading would allow for two vehicles to park in the driveway and accommodate the <br /> vehicle doors opening without actually enlarging the driveway footprint. The driveway would be <br /> replaced in-kind. <br /> Curtis noted the stairs, deck and retaining walls under the deck would remain at this time. The applicant <br /> is amenable to re-evaluation and removal of the deck at a later date. However, the driveway and sidewalk <br /> projects have a higher priority as the failing driveway, sidewalk and stairs are causing water to enter the <br /> home. <br /> Curtis noted that Planning Staff and the City's Consulting Engineer,Brian Simmons, have visited the site <br /> to review the proposed work. Technically a permit does not apply as the work will be conducted within <br /> the City right-of-way, but an encroachment agreement, erosion control escrow and plan will be required. <br /> Page 14 of 19 <br />
