Zoning File #1395 <br />May 3, 1989 <br />Additional CooBients and Planning Coanission Recoomiendation - <br />As is customary, the renewal application was placed on the <br />consent agenda for the Planning Commission meeting of April 17th. <br />Unfortunately, an affected neighbor, Ken Holland, was not aware <br />of the Intent of the consent agenda and waited until the end of <br />the meeting, at which time the neighbor voiced concern with the <br />fact that the City approves variances, such as lot area and lot <br />width variances, without a definite plan of development to <br />review. The position of the neighbor was that at the time of the <br />building permit application, there is no chance for redress by an <br />affected property owner. The neighbor was advised to voice this <br />concern to the Council at the May 8th meeting. <br />Since that meeting, I have had discussions with Mr. <br />Holland regarding residential construction on the vacant <br />property. Mr. Roland felt that because of the steep topographies <br />leading from the driveway, that his property would be inundated <br />with run-off if there was heavy rainfall. This was <br />understandable as the elevation of the driveway is at a 9-12% <br />slope as it leads south to the Holland property. Staff has <br />advised Mr. Roland that Council would be advised of his concern <br />and that the resolution would be drafted such that a condition of <br />approval would require that the City Engineer review the drainage <br />and grading plan with the building permit. <br />The renewal application will not be placed on Council's <br />consent agenda to allow the property owner the opportunity to <br />address Council. The applicant, Mr. Williams, has been made <br />aware of Mr. Holland's concerns. The approval resolution has <br />been drafted to include as a condition, the City Engineer's <br />review of the grading and drainage plan with the building permit <br />application to ensure that drainage does not leave the property <br />at a greater velocity than it does in its undeveloped state and <br />to provide a retention area if deemed necessary by the Engineer.
