The proposed driveway and retaining wall plan includes a curb that will intercept water <br />flowing from the north to the east and south across the property from the road. Runoff would <br />follow the curb and drain along the side yard. Previously there was a shared driveway <br />between the subject property and the adjacent property to the south. Please compare the two <br />topographical maps from before and after the construction of the new residence to understand <br />the drainage pattern. <br />2.Does the proposed location of the conditional use and the proposed condition under which <br />it would be operated or maintained be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare <br />or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity? <br />r V; <br />The adjacent property owners have writtep ’a letter objecting to a retaining wall and driveway <br />being located 2' from their property line. -The Planning Commission needs to discuss whether <br />the grading to accomplish the proposed driveway and retaining wall would be materially <br />injurious to the properties in the vicinity. <br />A conditional use permit may be revokable, may be granted for limited time, or may be <br />granted subject to such conditions that the Council may prescribe. The conditional use permit <br />may remain in effect as long as the conditions agreed upon are observed. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Planning Commission and consider the following issues: <br />1.Should the 5* setback for grading be reduced to 2' to provide a driveway and retaining <br />wall? What are the consequences of reducing this standard for other lakeshore lots <br />that do not meet the minimum lot width requirements? <br />2.Does the proposed grading improve drainage? What impact, if any, does it have on other <br />properties? <br />3.Would the grading within 2' of the property line negatively impact the adjacent property? ***' <br />What conditions could be placed on the conditional use permit to negate or eliminate any <br />negative impacts? <br />If the Planning Commission finds in the affirmative to the above three questions, then the <br />conditional use permit should be approved. If the Planning Commission finds that the application <br />should not be approved, then staff should be directed to work with the City Attorney to prepare in <br />detail written reasons for the denial. <br />#2290 Elaine and Steve Silus <br />3235 Casco Circle <br />CUP <br />1/20/98 <br />page~3 <br />i
