Id <br />? TO: City Council <br />FROM: Michael P. Gaftron, Assistant Zoning Administrator <br />DATE: June 4, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: #910 James Hoff, 2056 Shadywood Road - Conditional <br />Use Permit <br />Zoning District - LR-IC <br />Application - Regrade Lakeshore Yard of Property, All.Within <br />0-75' Setback Area <br />Existing Grade - Uniform Slope of about 38% from high plateau down <br />to lake <br />Proposed Grade - 2 4 - 3 0 % slope COUNCIL MEETING <br />List of Exhibits <br />!J!1 101C";;5 <br />Exhibit A - Application CITY <br />�F G�,JONND <br />Exhibit B - Plat Map 1 <br />Exhibit C - Property Owners List <br />Exhibit D - Survey with existing and proposed contours <br />Exhibit E - Planning Commission Minutes 5-20-85 <br />The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow him to <br />regrade the lakeshore of his property so that it conforms more to the <br />properties on either side of him. Most of the work proposed is within <br />the 0-75' setback area. His existing slope is about 38% according to <br />the existing grade topographic submittal. The proposal would <br />decrease the slope to about 25% on the average, but would eliminate the <br />flat plateau which currently acts as runoff percolation area. <br />City Engineer, Glenn Cook, has reviewed the proposal and made these <br />comments: <br />1. The proposed contours as shown do not accomplish the stated <br />purpose of conforming to the neighboring property contours. Note <br />that the property to the north has extensive retaining walls. How <br />will the grading conform to these? On the south side, where <br />slopes are less severe, it would likely require less removal of <br />material to conform to the neighboring grades. <br />2. The proposed grade changes will eliminate the existing 30-40' <br />"plateau" area of 68 slopes or less, which now functions as slow - <br />runoff and infiltration area, and change the entire lakeshoreyard <br />to slopes of 24-30%. From a runoff infiltration standpoint., this <br />is not necessarily a beneficial project. One-third of the <br />lakeshore yard which formerly had relatively good infiltration <br />characteristics will be reduced in infiltration capacity. <br />
