MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 16, 1989 <br />ZONING PILE #1468-PILLSBURY CONTINUED <br />Planning Commissioner Brown questioned whether the City <br />Engineer had reviewed the drainage concept being proposed? <br />Gaffron replied that the City Engineer had only conceptually <br />approved of the plan, but had not received the plans in time to <br />fully review them. <br />Planning Commissioner Bellows said that the drainage and <br />addition are really two separate issues. <br />Planning Commissioner Johnson asked whether the sketch plan <br />showed existing or proposed plantings? <br />Mr. Baldwin explained that he was going to try to preserve <br />the desireabl.e plants on the bank and then supplement them with <br />more plantings that would help prevent erosion. <br />Chdirman Kelley asked what is the hardship for the variance <br />in this case? <br />Mr. Baldwin said that it was the applicant's intention to <br />have a plant room that has the kind of sun orientation necessary. <br />7n the process of constructing the addition, they will address <br />the problems with the existing grades and drainage on the <br />property. <br />Mr. Meyer explained the scheme of the existing house in <br />relation ~c, the need *o locate the greenhouse as proposed. <br />Planning Commissioner Bellows said that she understood that <br />the greenhouse would be used for growing crchids.

He <br />questioned <br />whether a grading plan had been submitted? <br />Mr. Baldwin said that he would work with staff to establish <br />limitations for the amount of grading that the City will allow. <br />Planning Commissioner Brown noted that there would be a new <br />2 foot retaining wall.
