Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator June 10, 1987 Subject: #1154 Paul Vitko, 80 Cygnet Place ~ Conditional Use Permit - Public Hearing Zoning District - RR-IB Application - Bring in 450 cubic yards of dirt to fill a 20'x60'x6' deep "trout pond" that was excavated in 1972. List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Exhibit B - Exhibit C - Exhibit D - Exhibit E - Exhibit F - Exhibit G - Discussion ~ Application & Letter of Request Plat Map Property Owners List Survey & Bids Wetlands Airphoto Letter from Neighbor Slonim at 60 Cygnet Place Documentation Regarding Pond Creation In 1972, a previous owner of applicant's residence created a small pond on high ground in his back yard. That pond receives overflow through a 4" tile from a neighbor's pond at 60 Cygnet Place. Applicant's pond then has an overflow pipe that leads to the south and east on applicant's property. The pond is empty this year and its retaining walls are in disrepair, although previous owners on occasion had kept them full using their garden hoses. Applicant feels that this "hole" in his backyard is an eyesore and a safety hazard to his young children, and wishes to fill it in. He was unaware until Slonim's letter that the two ponds are connected. That connection was verified by staff on 6/5/87 during a review of the project site by City Engineer Glenn Cook. Although there has not be^n any documentation submitted of a specific easement for drainage purposes from 80 Cygnet Place in favor of 60 Cygnet Place, the history of the approval of the ponds (Exhibit F) suggests that it would be appropriate for any overflow from the Slonim pond to flow over Vitko's property and to the south until it reaches the creek. A 10' drainage and utility easement exists along the rear of applicant's property. Applicant is also requesting that the 30-45 truck loads of fill be allowed to access across the City park lot so that applicant’s drainfield will not be damaged. Public Works Coordinator John Gerhardson will be reviewing this request. I 1111(11 iinr^ II
