She commented that it is always difficult for <br />staff to accurately evaluate an application without an updated <br />survey. Mabusth suggested amending the Resolution to advise the <br />applicant that an updated survey will be required for any future <br />improvements to this property. <br />Mr. Downey stated that he would be coming back to the City <br />in one month to apply for a permit for retaining walls. Mr. <br />Downey said that due to the improvements to the neighboring <br />property, he now has serious erosion problems. <br />Mabusth asked Mr. Downey if he would be willing to combine <br />the retaining wall application with this variance application. <br />Mr. Downey stated that originally he had intended to do <br />that. In order that he might proceed as quickly as possible with <br />the entryway project, staff advised him to submit separate <br />applications. <br />Mabusth suggested that this application be tabled and allow <br />the applicant to submit a fully amended application including a <br />conditional use permit for land alterations. She asked Mr. <br />Downey to submit a fully updated survey with that application. <br />Callahan noted that in light of adding the conditional use <br />permit, the application would have to be reviewed by the Planning <br />Commission. <br />- 5 -
