•04-3002 May 17,2004 Pace 3 of 4 The two t.ecs currently within the 0*75’ zone, at the very top of the slope and 75’ line, can be removed as long as tree replacement is included in the restoration plan due to their vulnerability during the construction process. The revised application will be referred back to the Planning Commission for their recommendation. The applicants will grant an easement to the City for sewer maintenance purposes, and The applicants can submit for building permit for the new residence while the slope restoration project is in its review stages, as all other Zoning Ordinance requirements can be met. The application was brought before the City Council at their April 26, 2004 meeting for an informal discussion on whether the Council agreed with the Planning Commission’s recommendation to remove the boathouse. The City Council did agiee with the Planning Commission’s recommendation and also the details bulleted above. Tire application has now been forwarded back to the Planning Commission for review of the bank restoration plan, where the boathouse should again be denied as part of a condition of approval. At present, the City has located and staked the sewer line, which is located approximately 1 foot off the front line of the boathouse, and 6 to 6.5 feet deep. Due to the close proximity of the line to the boathouse, the Public Works department has requested that they be informed of the date of demolition and that they be present. At this time staff and the Public Works department will verify if lire 5’ setback from the sewer line is adequate, or if a greater or lesser distance would be appropriate. Staff will include this as a condition of any conditional use pennit approved for land alterations. Conditional Use Permit Analysis Zoning Ordinance Section 78-1250 lists several evaluation criteria that must be considered when reviewing an application for a conditional use within the Shorcland Overlay District. The evaluation criteria are as follows with staffs response: a.The prevention of soil erosion or the possible pollution of public waters, both during and after construction. The applicants are proposing to install a silt fence 5 ‘ in from the staked sewer location, which, is about 10' from the 929.4' elevation. No activity will be allowed outside the silt fence except for re-vegetation of the area where the boathouse sat. Staff feels this is adequate distance for the prevention of soil erosion and the possibility of pollution to the lake. b.The visibility of structures and other facilities as viewed from public waters is limited. The applicants have proposed plant materials which, over time, will screen the retaining walls as viewed from the lake. c.The site is adequate for water supply and on-site sewage treatment. N/A jdya
