Zoning File #1623 March 13, 1991 Page 2 of 2 Discnssion - Based on the City Engineer's comments, there would appear to be no detriment to neighboring properties if this fill is allowed. As you can see from the original subdivision contour map, this lot receives run-off from the neighboring properties to the west and north. Directly east, Kim Edwards at 2450 Woodhaven Drive has been allowed to fill the front half of his property, via a previous conditional use permit. However, the rear of the property has been maintained as a swale area for neighborhood run-off to continue eastward to the pond. One additional benefit of allowing the applicant to fill in the proposed location is to move drainage away from Edwards' mound sewage treatment system. The presence in the spring of standing water in applicant's yard may have a negative impact on his neighbor's mound system, hence removing the ponding area is a benefit. The current application was submitted without the after-the- fact investigation fee, which is equal to the application fee of $200.00. The City fee schedule (see Exhibit H) indicates that the after-the-fact investigation fee is mandatory for after-the- fact applications. Although applicant has cooperated fully with City requirements since he was advised of the need for permits, staff does not have the authority to waive the after-the-fact fee because a zoning violation (i.e. CUP requirement) exists. Unless Planning Commission feels there is justification to recommend waiving the investigation fee for this application, it would be due before the after-the-fact grading permit could be issued. (Fee structure is as follows: land alteration CUP application fee $200; after-the-fact investigation fee $200; grading permit $75.00; after-the-fact permit fee $75). Total ■» $550.00. Staff Recomendation - Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for filling approximately 500 cubic yards subject to the following i conditions: A. Applicant shall adhere to the grading plan as proposed. B. All disturbed areas shall be revegetated as soon as possible upon completion of the grading work. as may be required by the City Inspector. m W • ■ • m m mm mm mm mm mm mm m m mm application and grading permit.
