Preserving the existing wall support is necessary • <br /> for the protection of the slope and the lake. <br /> The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances.Any <br /> conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact <br /> created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter <br /> in the district where such land is located. <br /> Engineer Comments <br /> A building permit is required to install the walls and improvements to be reconstructed. Due to the <br /> height of the proposed walls, an engineered design will be required to be submitted with the building <br /> permit.The City Engineer and Building Official will review the engineered wall plans at the time of the <br /> building permit review. <br /> Public Comments <br /> The applicants have provided acknowledgment signatures from the neighbors on either side, Exhibit F.To <br /> date, no comments have been received. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the property <br /> 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 essential <br /> character of the neighborhood? • <br /> 3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the impacts <br /> 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 recommends approval of the lake setback variance for the improvements as proposed. Staff <br /> further recommends additional screening of the walls be implemented to preserve the natural vegetated <br /> view from the lake where feasible. <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> Exhibit A.
