• • July 18, 2005 To: Planning Commission and City Council Re: 3165 North Shore Dr File #05- 3135 This proposal involves an extreme amount of fill. The entire basement is completely above original grade and fill is piled up to create a walkout. A large portion of the lot gets 8-10 ft of fill until finally the far side of the circular driveway touches back to grade. Large quantities of run off get pushed toward the property lines. On the north side the house is placed as closely as possible to a 90 degree turn in the property line. Storm sewer and berms are proposed to catch the water and deliver it directly to the lake. 1. When these drains are plugged or frozen there is no overflow swale, and it would be difficult to get the water to make a sharp left turn at this point if a swale were provided. 2. The storm sewer dumps directly to the lake instead of stopping at the 75 foot setback. 3. There seems to be little to catch the water coming down from the circular driveway and steer it toward the catch basins. On the south side the drainage appears be directed over the top of a retaining wall. The huge pile of fill will be difficult to contain during construction. Especially if it rains. I think the project might be do able if: 1. The house is moved about 20 feet further back from the lake 2. Fill decreased from 8-10 feet to 2-4 feet 3. Hardcover is decreased. 4. Overflow swales are designed in 5. Storm sewer exits at least 75' from the lake However, I would want to review the revised drainage plan before any approval.
