*02-2854 1973 Fa|{rrnr\t Potnl Road Novrmbrr 16. 2002 Pagr 2 3 The niosl recent (2002) sur^ c>^ includes property located on the cast side of Fagemess Point Road, which consists of “accretions” i e. land that has been created since Fagemess was platted in 1886. Manley is intending to claim the areas sut^ eyed cast of the road \ ia a land title registration (torrens) process. It is staffs understanding that the neighbors to the immediate north w ill be disputing this claim. Therefore, the actual area Manley ow ns w ithin the cast 0-75 ’ lakcshorc yard is at this time unknown. Concrete stairsvay alongside garage is constructed within road nght-of-way. may be hazardous for road maintenance, other options may e.xist... Deck (approx. 5\ 10) constnicted on w est side ofhousc w iihout zoning approval, constituting 0-75* strueture encroachment and cxcessise hardcover. Deck was not shown on any plans or surveys used in approval of prior /onmg applications Deck was not show non any survevs or plans u.scd to obtain the remodeling pemht in September 2000 Deck first appeared ori a plan used to obtain a permit for basement remodel and deck over garage in February 2002, however, the deck was not part of that plan review and the fact that it appeared on the plan is inconsequential. Staff maintains that tliis deck c.xists illegally and should be removed. Staffcan confinn that a loo s.f deck e.xisted in the past (sec Exhibit J. assessors records) but it was completely removed sometime prior to or during the remodeling process, and construction of the new ileck has never been addressed. An alternative would be to require that an afier-the-fact v.iriance be applied for. PC nuy wish to provide applicant with direction on this matter. The deck constitutes additional hardcover and lot coverage above the previously approved amounts This deck is not the subject of the current application, and given the May 2002 hardcover and lot coverage denials for this property, it would seem to be unlikely this w ould be approv ed Ciradc of the walkout level ir the westerly 0-75* zone has been lowered by .ipproximately 2*. in V iol.ition of denials m 1998 This grading work was not covered bv any pennits isued to date and has iiev er been approved as pan of any pnor zoning application This grading vv as apparenti) done to create a better walkout situation. Old and new topographic survevs as well as old photos of this side of the house clearly show that the entire west lakeshore vard has been excav ated and the west facade of the house has been opened up to a much broader w idth and height than the onginal house This activity Dies in the face of long-standing Citv policies .ind ordinances which prohibit 0-75* land alteration to create a walkout situation* The grading activity to date on the w est side of the house has Icfi almost no vegetation intact and 90*^0 of the lakcshorc \-ard in a state of bare unprotected soil. Staff and MCWD have required that hay bales and silt fence be in place during the past few morihs until proper plans were submitted and .approved
