i #05-3132 July 18,2005 Past 5 of 6 Conditional Use Permit Analysis The applicants have proposed to incorporate approximately 900 cubic yards of Hll on t!;** road side of the proposed home. The Shoreland Overlay District requires that a conditional use permit be reviewed for any fill in excess of 500 cubic yards outside the 0- 75' zone. Zoning Ordinance Section 78-1250 provides the following evaluation criteria for requested conditional uses within the Shoreland Overlay District: (1) Evaluation criteria. A thorough evaluation of the water body and the topographic, vegetation and soils conditions on the site must be made to ensure: a. b. The prevention of soil erosion or the possible pollution of public waters, both during and after construction; The applicant will not be permitted to grade within 75 ’ of the lake and a silt fence inspection will be required prior to any site grading. Because the proposed fill will be placed on the street side of the proposed home, staff feels there isn 7 any gi'eater risk of possible pollution to the lake. The visibility of structures and other facilities as viewed from public waters is limited; The applicant's builder has indicated the views from the lake will not be affected by the proposed fill to be placed on the .street side of the lot. c. d. The site is adequate for water supply and on-site sewage treatment; and Not applicable as the site is served with municipal sewer. The types, uses and numbers of watercraft that the project will generate are compatible in relation to the suitability of public waters to safely accommodate these watercraft. Not applicable. The need for the fill arises because the lot exists as a walk-out to the street side, with a partial walk-out to the lake. The effects of the reverse walk-out scenario is that the views fixim the lake will be minimally, if at all, impacted and views from the road entering into the site will be dram .4tically raised whereby a driveway sloping up towards the house will be artificially made. The previous house utilized a tuck-under style garage with a flatter driveway giving in to the topography of the lot. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed grading plan and is recommending the applicants plan accordingly for the approximate 90 truckloads to be brought onto the site and that the applicants be sure to not disturb the grades within 26' of the wetland. The building department has indicated that a silt fence would be required to be installed at the 26* wetland setback to ensure the least amount of disturbance. Beyond those concerns.
