Silt fence will be provided <br />until all disturbed areas have been completely re-vegetated. <br />The visibility of structures and other facilities as viewed from public waters is <br />limited; The submitted plan does not propose any screening of the lower boulder <br />wall from the lake. As designed, the lower wall system is too close to the tip-rap <br />to allow for shrubbeiy screening. <br />The site is adequate for water supply and on-site sewage treatment; Not <br />applicable. <br />• The types, uses and numbers of watercraft that the project will generate are <br />compatible m relation to the suitability of public waters to safely accommodate <br />these watercraft; Not applicable. <br />City Engineer, Tom Kellogg, has reviewed the site and has provided staff with a <br />recommendation based on the most recently submitted plan (the letter is attached as <br />Exhibit H). <br />Planning Director, Mike Gaffron, has provided a memo suggesting that the upper <br />retaining wall be omitted in favor of a graded slope tliat will appear more natural (sec <br />Exhibit L). <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. Does the Planning Commission feel that the boulder walls as proposed will have a <br />minimal impact on views of the property from the lake, or should additional <br />vegetative screening be utilized to shield the boulder wall from the lake? Should the <br />upper wall be eliminated? <br />2. Arc there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Planning Department staff recommends conditional approval of the proposal subject to <br />the following: <br />1. Submittal of a plan which shows the elimination of the upper tier of walls to the <br />greatest extent possible; and <br />2. Compliance with the City Engineer’s recommendations; and <br />3. Any additional conditions or revisions Plamiing Conunission may wish to add.
