TO: City Council FROM: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator DATE: June 4, 1985 SUBJECT: #910 James Hoff, 2056 Shadywood Road - Conditional Use Permit Zoning District - LR-'C Application - Regrade Lakeshore Yard of Property, All Within 0-75' Setback Area Existing Grade - Uniform Slope of about 38% from high plateau down to lake Proposed Grade - 24-30% slope List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Survey with existing and proposed contours Exhibit E - Planning Commission Minute,, 5-20-85 The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow him to regrade the lakeshore of his property so that it conforms more to the properties on either side of him. Most of the work proposed is within the 0-75' setback area. His existing slope is about 38% according to the existing grade topographic submittal. The proposal would decrease the slope to about 25% on the average, but would eliminate the flat plateau which currently acts as runoff percolation area. City Engineer, Glenn Cook, has reviewed the propoF ma,_ comment: 1. The proposed contours as shown do not accompllsn the aced purpose of conformingto the neighboring property contours. Note that the property to the north has extensive retaining walls. flow will the grading conform to these? On the south side, wt.ere slopes are less severe, it would likely requite less removal of material to conform to the neighboring grades. 2. The proposed grade change., will eliminate the existing 30-40' "plateau" area of 6% slopes or less, which now functions as slow- runof f and inf iltration area, and change the entire lakeshore vard to slopes of 24-3G8. From a runoff infiltration standpoint, this is n,-,t necessarily a bereficial project. One-third of the lakeshore yard which formerly had relatively good infiltration characteristics will be reduced in infiltration capacity.
