(#5) #2492 RICK AND GAIL LUZAICH, 2490 OLD BEACH ROAD - VARIANCES AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, RESOLUTION NOS. 4361 AND 4362 The applicants were not present. Weinberger presented the staff report. He stated that a revised restoration plan has been reviewed by Dr. Peter Bedker who recommended the plan be adopted by the City. The plan has removed two trees that were located near the far property lines and relocated them closer to the center of the property. He said this plan has not eliminated any trees that did appear on a previous plan; however, it has increased the spacing and will achieve 90% canopy coverage within the 25-year restoration period as recommended by Dr. Bedker. Weinberger said the applicant also applied for a conditional use permit and variance to allow for retaining walls and to allow fill within 75’ of the lake. He said that staff and Dr. Bedker recommend approval. He said that the applicants have proposed a stairway 5’ wide, however the Ordinance only allows stairways 4 ’ in width. StalT is recommending the proposed stairway be reduced 1 ’ to comply with the ordinance and decrease potential hardcover on the property. Weinberger said that the Restoration Agreement contains a number of conditions to which the property owner and the City agree to. One of the conditions allows Staff to enter the property and conduct an initial inspection following restoration planting and additional annual inspections for six consecutive years. The purpose of the site inspections is to ensure a successful restoration program and ensure the bluff is not subject to any erosion problems. It also gives the City the right to complete the work if the restoration is not completed or is unsuccessful and for the property owner to pay for those services. Weinberger said the code requires all conditional use permits and variances to be recorded on the chain of title of the property. The property owner disagrees with this requirement. Staff is Page 11
