Date: <br />Planning Commission Members Michael P. Gaffron, <br />Assistant Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />June 12, 1986 <br />Subject: #1037 John B. Busse, 1951 Concordia Street <br />Conditional Use Permit - Public Hearing <br />Zoning District - LR-lC <br />Application ~ Conditional use permit and variance to regrade <br />lakeshore yard to create a walk-out basement <br />configuration. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A ' Application <br />Exhibit B - Plat Map <br />Exhibit C - Property Owners List <br />Exhibit D - Survey With Proposed Grade Changes <br />Exhibit E - Hardcover Review <br />Pertinent Facts <br />- Half of the existing house is in the 0-75* setback zone. <br />Total 0-75' hardcover existing is 21.4%, <br />0-75' hardcover potentially could decrease under the <br />proposal, however, applicant has not indicated what items <br />would remain or be removed. <br />Slope of existing bank is approximately 70%, rising 18' <br />® horizontal 25' distance. This area is currently well-vegetated. ^ <br />f <br />- Relatively flat area, slope of 0-3%, is about 2500 s.f. <br />(not including hardcover) in 0-75' zone. This area <br />currently provides relatively good run-off absorption. <br />- Flat area (5% slope or less) in 0-75' would be reduced to <br />no more than about 1250 s.f. under the proposal, an <br />approximately 50% reduction in effective run-off absorption <br />dlTGS • <br />- Regrading would destroy most of the vegetation currently <br />helping to support the lakeshore bank. <br />Neighboring properties on both sides have a uniformly flat <br />lawn and a steep bank leading to the lake. Regrading to <br />create a walkout would not be consistent with the immediate <br />neighborhood. <br />- As with most other steep lakeshore banks in the City, the <br />bank is not readily mowable.
