HcCourtney# 1055 West Ferndale Poad - <br />After-the-Fact Conditional Use Permit - Resolution <br />Zoning District - LR-IA, Single family lakeshore residential, <br />2-acre, sewered <br />Application - After-the-fact conditional use permit and variance <br />for land alterations within 75' of the lakeshore. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Proposed Resolution <br />Exhibit B - Planning Commission Minutes 11/20/89 <br />Exhibit C - Planning Commission Action Notice 11/22/89 <br />Exhibit D - Memo S Exhibits of 11/17/89 <br />Discussion - <br />Please carefully review the memo and exhibits of November <br />17th. Briefly, no grading plan was submitted with the original <br />building permit for the remodeling work on the property. Some <br />grading occurred in the 0-75' zone as a result of rip rapping <br />along the shoreline. This grading was necessary to restore <br />damage caused by trucks carrying boulders, as well as to maintain <br />a drainpipe through the rip rap. This drainpipe and the <br />associated swale along the west border of the property were <br />required in the 1975 subdivision that created this lot. <br />A portion of the swale in the 0-75' zone was deepened <br />approximately 1', and additional excavation outside the 0-75' <br />zone, was done to accommodate the basement access door installed <br />at the west end of the house. While this access door was found <br />to have been in the approved building plans in a later plan <br />review, no grading plan had been submitted to indicate grade <br />changes to accommodate that door. While staff feels that the <br />door could certainly be accommodated without any grade changes in <br />the 0-75' zone, that would require a cribbing and step down from <br />original grade to get to that door, leaving a "well" which would <br />collect water. It is hard to fault the logic of wanting to have <br />natural gravity drainage away from that doorway towards the pre­ <br />existing swale, but the lowering of that swale as much as 1' in <br />the 0-75' zone technically requires a conditional use permit and <br />i <br />variance.
