► • #05-3136 M�rch 10,2006 P�ge 4 note that historically the City has not attempted to protect lake views fi•om adjacent neighbor side windows, and it would appear from the airphoto (Exhibit G2) that views of tl�e lake from the front of Chlrrier's house will not be impacted. Council should review the proposed house placement, determine whether it is acceptable and appropriate, or whether it should be moved fiirther back on the lot. Driveway Relocation Applicant is proposing to remove the e�:isting driveway to Shoreline Drive ancl create a new driveway to Heritage Drive at the rear, similar to the layout of his two adjacent lakeshore neighbors. The proposed driveway meets the City's 26' wetland setback that was in effect at the time this application was made. Relatively minor grading is i•equired to accoimnodate this proposed driveway location. Construction of this driveway, as it was part of the application for the rebuild on the site, does not trigger the need for creation of a wetland buffer which would make its construction more difficult, as this is a "Preserve" FAW Classification that would require a 35' buffer if triggers are met. Future Detached Garage Applicant has indicated that he eventually intends to replace the existing detached garage at the rear of the property with a new larger detached garage, accessing the new driveway and including a second level storage or workspace. Per Zoning Code Section 78-1434(2), that garage will have to be no greater than 1,000 s.f. footprint, because the lot is less than 2 acres in area. Additionally, because this is a "tlu•ough" lot, per Section 78-1431(1), this garage must meet principal structtu�e setbacks. Finally, per Section 78-1432, no permit can be issued for this garage until the new principal structure exists on the site. The City policy on this is that the new principal structur•e will be considered as existing when its framing has been completed. It should also be noted that adding the detached garage into the initial application would bring the new wetland ordinances into play for the initial application; at the time the detached garage is formally applied for it may trigger the establislullent of wetland buffer if that proposal exceeds 50 cubic yards of earth movement, since it definitely would meet the other 2 conditions to be considered as having the "potentill to adversely impact a wetl�uid" as defined in Section 78-1601(4). City Engineer Comments The City Engineer has had the opporttulity to conullent on tlus most recent site and grading plan. His latest comments indicate stormwater issues have been adequately addressed, but that a concrete curb rather than bituminous should be used along the southwest side of the driveway.
