To:Planning Commission Chairman Kelley & Members City Administrator Bernhardson Prom: Mary Jo Knott, Septic & Zoning Aide Date August 13, 1987 Subject: #1180 Charles & Candice Nadler, 2509 Kelly Avenue - Conditional Use Permit - Public Hearing Zoning Administrator - LR-IC Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District - {% acre) Area - 1+ Acres Application - Seeks a conditional use permit to allow land alteration within 75 feet of the shoreline of the property. Pertinent Ordinances - Section 10.22, Subdivision 2 List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survey Exhibit E - Diagram of Proposed Improvements Discussion - The applicants have applied for a conditional use permit to allow land alteration within 75 feet of the shoreline of the property. The lakeshore ice flow heaving/pressure has caused a buckling effect for a distance of 32 feet parallel to the shore. The grade around the uplifted land is relatively flat. Twenty two feet of the rip rap in front of the raised ground has been damaged and no longer functions as a stabilizing structure. As a result, soil erosion has occurred in the area behind the damaged rip rap. The applicants are proposing to level the uplifted land and restore the topography to the former contours. At this time, the rip rap will be restored and the eroded area behind the rip rap will be filled in using a portion of the uplifted land. Similar to the land alterations proposed by Mr. Schmitt in his recent application. The area to be altered extends approximately 32 feet northeast of the existing trees (see Exhibit E). Sod will be installed to secure the newly graded area. After a discussion with Candice Nadler (the applicant), it was decided that constructing a larger walkway from the existing house to the lakeshore would need a hardcover variance. The applicants have decided against applying for the hardcover variance and all plans dealing with a walkway have been dropped. Staff Recommendation - Staff recommends approval of restoring the shoreline contours and repairing the rip rap, subject to suitable erosion controls implementation being installed during the grading work. The recommendation is based on the following hardships and findings: 1. 2. 3. Soil erosion along the shoreline banks will continue if rip rap is not repaired. There will be a gap between the heaved soil and the damaged rip rap if this area is not filled in. The grading work will enhance the safety and usabilitv of t-h<a yard area. ^ ^
