To:Planning Commission Chairman Kelley Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson From: Date: Subject: Michae]ffron, Asst Planning 6 Zoning Administrator July 12, ;;990 #1560 John & Roberta Henrich, 4125 Highwood Road Conditional Use Permit - Public Hearing Application - Request for variance and conditional use permit to construct retaining walls and grade within the 0-75' protected lakeshore zone. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Exhibit B - Exhibit C - Exhibit D - Exhibit E - Exhibit F - Exhibit G - Exhibit H - Pertinent Facts - Application Letter of Request Plat Map Property Owners List Survey Cross Section Site Plan Hardcover Calculations 1. The applicants propose to construct 2 retaining walls, each approximately 3%' in height, approximately 50' long, and approximately 28* and 38* from the shoreline. 2. Existing hardcover in the 0-75' zone is 8.2%, consisting of sidewalks, existing retaining walls, some rock over plastic, a small shed and a small pond area. Applicants propose to remove 410 s.f. of hardcover while adding 68 s.f., hence a net reduction from 1,004 s.f. existing down to 662 s.f., a reduction from 8.2% to 5.4%. 3. City Engineer Glenn Cook has reviewed the application on the site, and make the following verbal comments on July 12th: A) Applicant should provide detailed drawings of the tie- back system proposed for the retaining walls. B) Applicant should stake the end points and midpoints of each proposed wall for further review. Glenn feels that there may be justification for one wall, but possibly not for both depending on the exact locations proposed. Discussion - The proposed reduction in hardcover would appear to be an improvemen't to the property. It is apparent that existing retaining walls are necessary to keep the slope from washing down the hill. I 1^-O
