Also the rock located around the <br />driveway protects this portion of the property from erosion as much of the drainage <br />in the locality follows the slope. Planting grass would create a maintenance problem <br />as a steep slope exists. <br />2.The rock on the lakeside of the home (all outside of tne 75' sc .back) is located in an <br />areCi that does not receive any sunlight, preventing grass from growing in that area. <br />J.The gravel parking area located on the north part of the property benefits the locality <br />as it is used for parking by the home owners and provides an area for snow storage. <br />The applicants have stated plowed snow is stored on their property. Rest Point Circle <br />is a narrowly platted road and no storage area is available along the side of the street. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />To adopt or amend the enclosed resolution. <br />I <br />•I
