The setback, hardcover, and septic require- ments have been luately Rket, but because a fair portion of the interior area of this lot below the ° :i`. 5' flood plain elevation, applicants are proposing to fill portions of t:-..( interior and cut portions near the lake - shore. The resulting elevations i.:_ovide equivalent areas of cut and fill, so there is no net effect on the flood plain. There will be approximately 190 cubic yards excavated and 190 cubic yards filled. In the 0-75' setback area, the cuts average about 6" overall. The slope is nearly fiat in the 0-75' area, and the soil is quite sandy, hence there is no substantial effect on the run-off patterns at the site. Note also that a small curved built-up terrace is proposed near the house. Portions of this fill are essential to the project in order to provide protection for the footings. No hardcover is vroposed or allowed in this area. The terrace will have ne .,ppreciable effect on the run-off patterns of the site. The applicants have been granted approval by the Minnehaha Crrek Watershed District. for this project. City Engineer, Glenn Cook, has re- viewed the site and grading plan and has no problem with it. You will recall that this lot was granted a lot area variance per Resolution 01755 in May 1985. Staff recommends approvai of the conditional use permit for filling and cutting in the flood plain and 0-75' lakeshore setback area, subject to the condition thatsuitable lakeshore protection measures are provided to eliminate anv sedimentaticn into the lake.
