Applicant Response Letter dated 06-13 <br />05 (including more detailed plans) <br />F. Property Owners List <br />G. Plat Map <br />Background <br />A large dead tree was removed from the lake yard of the property at 1489 Shoreline Drive. As a <br />result, the area down slope from the tree removal sustained a significant wash-out. The applicant <br />has sulmiitted a plan detailing subterranean walls to remediate and repair the wash-out area while <br />maintaining a natural looking slope without retaining walls. <br />Conditional Use Permit Analysis <br />A thorough evaluation of the water body and the topographic, vegetation and soils conditions on <br />the site have been made, and are addressed by the following; <br />The prevention of soil erosion or the possible pollution of public v.'aters, both during and <br />after construction; Steps have been taken to address possible soil erosion during and after <br />construction. <br />• The visibility of structures and other facdities as viewed from public waters is limited; The <br />nature of the subterranean walls is such that they will be completely invisible, and will <br />assist in maintaining a naturally vegetated slope.. <br />The site is adequate for water supply and on-site sewage treatment; Not applicable. <br />• The types, uses and numbers of watercraft that the project will generate are compatible in <br />relation to the suitability of public waters to safely accommodate these watercraft; Not <br />applicable. <br />The City Engineer has reviewed the plans and has provided staff with a recommendation <br />requesting additional engineering design work to confirm the viability of this design (the letter is <br />attached as Exhibit D). Applicant has provided a response (Exhibit E) which is currently under <br />review by the City Engineer. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Planning Staff recommends approval of a conditional use permit subject to the City Engineer's <br />forthcoming recommendations.
