MINUTES OF THE <br />OHONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETfffG <br />Monday, May 16,2005 <br />6:00 o’clock p.ai. <br />Rahn noted the nuijority of the wall would be located more than five feet away from the property line. <br />Palm stated he would like crystal clear direction on exactly what the Planning Commission wants to see <br />on the retaining walls, noting that he has spent thousands of dollars in an attempt to comply with the <br />direction given 1^ staff. <br />Rahn reiterated he would like to see detailed elevations depicting the wall from the lakeside and the north <br />as well as the screening of the wail and a letter from the city engineer approving tlie drainage for this lot. <br />Palm stated they are proposing a five to six foot two-tiered wall, which would consist of a poured wall <br />with some type of decorative texture. <br />Rahn stated in his opinion a poured wall with a textured finish would be a plus. <br />Fritzler stated he would not be in favor of extending the retaining wall within five feet of the property <br />line. <br />Rahn inquired whether there is another method of controlling the runoff from the neighboring property. <br />Kellogg stated the option of flaring the wall out to the property line creates a funnel, which is one <br />solution, and that a storm sewer might be another option. <br />Rahn stated he would like to see a drainage plan that handles all of the runoff <br />Bremer indicated she would be supportive of tapering the wall towards the property line. <br />Palm stated he does not want to be told at next month ’s hearing that the retaining wall should not be <br />tapered towards the property line. <br />Erickson stated tapering of the retaining wall towards the property line would allow all of the water to be <br />caught and diverted and that she is not opposed to that proposal. <br />Bremer stated if it is determined that the best way to deal with the water runoff is to taper the retaining <br />wall within five feet of the property line, it appears likely thid that proposal would be approved by the <br />Planning Commission. Bremer noted the Planning Commission is merely a recommending body and that <br />the City Council may not necessarily approve that proposal. <br />Rahn pointed out a berm may also be needed to handle some of the runoff to the south. <br />PAGE 19 <br />i
