Zoning File #1468 <br />November 9, 1969 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Planning Conuniaaion alao directed applicant to work with <br />ataff to eatabliah limita on the grading work propoaed, and <br />applicant waa adviaed to contact ataff to arrange a meeting with <br />the City Engineer. Aa of thia writing, applicant haa not <br />contacted ua, but the City Engineer haa adviaed ataff that <br />additional detail of the propoaed grading would be needed before <br />a permit could be iaaued for the grading, if Council chooaea to <br />approve the requeat. The engineer haa indicated that the <br />propoaal ia conceptually acceptable from a technical atandpoint. <br />Alao note that there ia a need for an average lakeahore <br />aetback variance for the propoaed addition. All neighboring <br />reaidencea are ao diatant that the addition will not encroach on <br />any exiating lake viewa enjoyed by neighboring property ownera. <br />Staff RacoaaMndatloQ - <br />Staff recommenda approval of the average lakeahore aetback <br />variance and the conditional uae permit for regrading and <br />retaining wall conatruction per the conceptual plan. Such <br />approval should be aubject to final detailed plan approval by the <br />City Engineer before a grading permit is issued. <br />Regarding the lakeahore aetback and hardcover variance, <br />staff does not necessarily disagree with the majority Planning <br />Commission recommendation, but would note to Council that past <br />approvals of new structure in the 0-75' zone have in most cases <br />been tied to removal of equivalent amounts of hardcover in the 0- <br />75' zone, resulting in no hardcover Increase in the zone. Also, <br />additions in the 0-75' zone normally have not been allowed to <br />extend closer to the shoreline than the existing residence. In <br />this case, applicant has indicated that the addition will be <br />58.5' from the shoreline with portions of the house already 57* <br />from the shoreline. <br />Council should consider whether the proposed drainage system <br />to direct run-off from the 0-75' zone to the 75-250' zone is <br />justification to grant a hardcover increase. This would seem to <br />be breaking new ground, and would be an apparent departure from <br />past Council policy. <br />A draft resolutic^ reflecting the Planning Commission <br />recommendation ia attached for Council review.
