bluff is measured. Based on the survey data that was completed by the Egan field & Nowak the top of bluff is measured at the 961 ’ contour. The City’s maps are very accurate, however they are interpolated from aerial photography and can have some slight variations to site elevations. The type of land alteration that occurred on site does require the property owner to provide a survey for review with the variance and CUP application. The topography provided by the surveyor does indicate the top of bluff line is actually located about S' further back on the lot. This indicates the putting green encroaches about 8’ into the bluff impact zone. An aflcr>the-fact variance would be required in (hu case for the putting green to permit fill to be deposited in the bluff impact zone. (Section 10.56 (J) 5h). Staff did issue a land alteration permit that allowed the property owner to locate the putting green as shown on the site plan. Issues for Discussion 1.Provide recommendations regarding the landscaping plan, including the number, species and location. 2. Recommendation on the retaining wall/screening. 3. Recommendation on the size on location of the putting green, which encroaches 8' into the bluff setback. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the property owner add one additional hardwood tree on the lakeside of tlie stairway and one additional tree at the top of the bluff in the center of the property. The two additional trees will provide additional screening of the stairway and putting green as well as provide a better root system for long term stabilization of the slope. Options For Action I. Recommend approval of the requested variances and CUP with appropriate conditions. 2. Recommend partial approval and define what elements of the plan aren't approved and that they should be restored. 3. Table for more information, giving direction to applicant. 4.Other. »01-26S9Mamfecp Sodhi 40S0DihlR<Md KVI5/0I Pi«c3or3
