Rahn stated the applicants could submit a re-grading and restoration plan and that they probably do not <br />need to restore it iMck to the original grade. <br />Fritzler inquired whether it would be necessary for the applicant to appear before the Planning <br />Commission again if Staffs recommendations are approved. <br />GaRhm staled in his opinion the City Engineer could review the re-grading and restoration plan and that <br />it may not be necessary for the Planning Commission to review the plan unless they so desire. <br />Chair Rahn asked for public comment. <br />Jeff Danbury, 4410 Shoreline Drive, Spring Park, inquired whether the boulder wall looks worse than a <br />wooden set of steps down the slope. Danbury noted they would constitute the same amount of <br />hardcover. Danbury inquired whether a portion of the boulder wall could remain along with the grass <br />ramp. <br />Rahn noted the applicant is not limited to constructing a wooden stairway and that there are other types <br />of materials that couM be used. <br />(#M-3f74 Sean aad Mcliasa WamboM, Coatiaucd) <br />Marotz stated if some grading is to occur, it could be graded in such a way that a portion of the wall <br />could be retained. <br />Rahn stated in his view one of the issues is the visual impact from the lake and that typically all that is <br />seen from the lake are boulders. Rahn stated the City Engineer has determined that the boulder wall is <br />not necessary and that the applicants are not required to have a stairway down to the lake. <br />Leslie noted the stairway being discussed by the Planning Commission and the City Engineer would be <br />aibwed in the 0-7S* zone and not in the area where the ramp is being proposed. <br />Wambold commented if the objective is to reduce the hardcover bebw 168 square feet of hardcover <br />within the 0-7S ’ zone, leaving a portion of the boulder wall and having a ramp would be better than <br />constructing stairs. <br />Rahn stated if the stairs are not necessary at all, then the Planning Commission would prefer no stairs. <br />Fritzler commented in his view this slope may not need a stairway. <br />Marotz noted the City Engineer did recommend that stairs be allowed on this property due to the slope. <br />Wambold stated they would rather have a ramp than stairs. Wambold asked if they are able to reduce <br />the hardcover to bebw 168 square feet, whether they would be permitted to leave a portion of the <br />boulder wall. <br />Rahn inquired where the 168 square feet figure comes from.
