To: Planning Commission Chairman Kelley Orono Planning Commission Members City Administrator Bernhardson From: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator Date: October 12, 19e8 Subject: #1309 Gerald Nelson, 1629 Bohn's Point Road - After -the -Fact Conditional Use Permit/Variance - Second Review Additional List of Exhibits Exhibit O - Planning Commission Notice of Action 8/23/8 Exhibit P - Staff Sketch Exhibit Q - Cook's Report As requested, staff and the City Engineer met with the applicant at the site to discuss the drainage problems within the lakeshore yard of the property. Staff reviewed the elevations confirmed by Coffin & Gronberg on 7/5/88 (Exhibit P). There is approximately a 6" drop in elevation from the driveway of the property owner to the south and the applicant's south yard that receives the drainage from the east and the south. As staff confirmed at the meeting, on several inspections of this property, drainage was observed collecting in the area where the pond has been constructed. Once again, the original design was to allow water to fan out over the grassed yard through the swal- running along the south lot line and then eventually drain to the lake. It is interesting to note that the applicants confirmed that when the water overflows from the pond, it does fan out over the grassed yard. Note the elevation of the west side of the pond is 931 and the elevations that surround the pond is 931.2. Staff observed no further signs of erosion within the lakeshore yard. Drainage would appear to function without any negative impact on the surrounding properties. The north side yard continues to function as originally approved. Please review Exhibit O, the City Engineer's report. in consideration of the Planning Commission's directive that was to insure all recommended improvements would provide the least impact on the lake, staff recommends the following: 1. To allow the plastic liner underlying the entire excavation of the pond to remain as it prevents the undermining of the sites of the bank providing the necessary stability and the liner is installed ar the upper elevation al lowi.nq overflow to pass over non -hardcover surface.
