Zoning File 11468 <br />November 9, 1989 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Planning Commission also directed applicant to work with <br />staff to establish limits on the grading work proposed, and <br />applicant was advised to contact staff to arrange a meeting with <br />the City Engineer. As of this writing, applicant has not <br />contacted us, but the City Engineer has advised staff that <br />additional detail of the proposed grading would be needed before <br />a permit could be issued for the grading, if Council chooses to <br />approve the request. The engineer has indicated that the <br />proposal is conceptually acceptable from a technical standpoint. <br />Also note that there is a need for an average lakeshore <br />setback variance for the proposed addition. All neighboring <br />residences are so distant that the addition will not encroach on <br />any existing lake views enjoyed by neighboring property owners. <br />Staff Recomaendatloii * <br />Staff recommends approval of the average lakeshore setback <br />variance and the conditional use permit for regrading and <br />retaining wall construction per the conceptual plan. Such <br />approval should be subject to final detailed plan approval by the <br />City Engineer before a grading permit is issued. <br />Regarding the lakeshore setback 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 Ia'i 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 zona. 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 resolution reflecting the Planning Commission <br />recommendation is attached for Council review.
