1. LA19-000060 TIM DRUK, 3348 BAYSIDE ROAD, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, 6:32 P.M. – 6:40 P.M. Tim Druk, Applicant, was present. Oakden stated the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for grading and filling within the floodplain and mitigation of the 100-year floodplain for construction of a new two-car detached garage. The site is substandard in size, width, and has a protected tributary along the northern property line creating a limited building envelope. In order to meet all the required setbacks, the detached garage is partially located within the 100-year floodplain. The garage will be elevated out of the floodplain with fill. Placing fill in the floodplain requires a conditional use permit. The 26’ x 26’ is proposed to be raised approximately two feet. The DNR has been notified of the request and the public hearing must remain open until the City Council meeting due to the notification process. Staff finds the proposed plans meet the conditions for filling in the floodplain. The applicant is mitigating the work by creating more floodplain area within the property. They are also raising the floor of the garage to place the building above the floodplain elevation. The applicant is working to place the building within the required setbacks leaving them minimal options to work outside the floodplain. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed plans and had the following comments: 1. Sediment erosion control measures should include a double silt fence. 2. The applicant will be required to obtain Minnehaha Creek Watershed District approval and permitting for their erosion control and floodplain alteration rules. A copy of any approvals or permits required should be submitted prior to issuance of the permit. 3. Any materials deposited or shored in the floodplain must be protected from erosion by vegetative cover, mulching, riprap or other acceptable method while under construction. No public comments have been received. Planning Staff recommends approval subject to the City Engineer’s recommendations. Ressler noted it meets all side setbacks, hardcover, and that the conditional use permit is required because of the grading and fill within the floodplain. Oakden indicated that is correct and that they will be raising the grade by approximately two feet. Gettman asked if there is an existing garage. Oakden indicated there is no garage but there is an existing residence with a parking pad. McCutcheon asked if there is currently water in the ditch east of the proposed garage. Oakden stated there is some water currently in the ditch. The protected tributary runs to the north and there is a 75-foot setback from that. The 100-year floodplain is what is being encroached upon.
