2. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the proposed condition under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. In order to meet this condition the grading plan needs to demonstrate that it will be maintained in a manner that does not impact the adjacent propert>'. The retaining wall needs to be constructed in a manner that water does not run over the top of the wall but is collected and directed away from the lot line. The survey show a 12" PVC directed toward the side yard, however, no design was provided to explain how it would function. The new house is also farther from the southerly property line than ^e previous residence which will provide a larger side yard for drainage. However, 2 is a limited amount of area to channel driveway runoff. Other issues relating to how the grade would be maintained involve snow removal, screening, vehicle emissions, and vehicle safety. Snow removal would need to be done in a manner that does not place snow on the adjacent property. The 2' strip is not wide enough to allow for any landscaping/screening other than sod or ground cover to be installed on the subject property As ihc vehicles back out of the garage, the rear of the vehicle will encroach into the adjacent property if the rear wheels stop at the edge of the proposed retaining wall. This will result in vehicle exhaust emming across the adjacent property. There is also concern that the vehicles could back over the 3 retaining wall as no railing or wheel stop is noted on the survey. In order to approve the conditional use permit, the Planning Commission must find that the location of the conditional use is not detrimental to public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3.That the proposed conditional use will comply w ith each of the applicable provisions of the Zoning Chapter.

Considerations 1.If the conditional use permit is denied, the applicant can install a retaining wall 5' from the property line and have a 21' driveway from the garage. This will result in the driveway being 9' shorter than what is recommended. A 5' separation between the retaining wall and the property line would provide more room for drainage. If the applicant finds that a 21' driveway is not suitable, the applicant can change the 1*2290 Elaine and Steve Situs 3235 Casco Circle Conditional Use Permit 10/20/97 page-5
