#910 Hoff Page 2 June 4, 1985 From a maintenance standpoint., the applicant is correct in that the flatter grades will make maintenance easier. The "safer access" concern may be valid, but with a minimum slope of 25% after the proposed grading, a stairway will likely still be the preferred method of getting to the lake. When you review this site, it may helpful in your visualizing of the proposal that the * inal grade at the point where the steep slope starts downward will be 6' below that point in the area midway between the side property lines. During the Planning Commission review it became clear that the �ginally proposed contours do not reflect what the applicant wants to do because at the time they were proposed he had not discussed this project with his neighbors. tie has since tren approached the neighbors and he plans to submit a revised grading plan for the City Engineer's review, showing a blending in with the neighboring properties, possibly some removal of retaining walls by the neighbor to the north. These revised plans have not yet been subri;itted for review. Please review the May 210, 1985, Planning Commission minutes. Planning Commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit application for regrading of the lakeshore yard, based on the following findings: 1. Applicant's lakeshore yard will conform better to the neighbors yards and will look more aesthetically pleasing. 2. Proposal will reduce degree of hazarde condition existing on the property because of the ape of the land and will improve the health, safety and welfare of the applicant's yard and neighborhood. 3. applicant's lakeshore yard previously existed as the proposal now shows anr' previous owner built hill back up again, thereby cre,- sing extra hardship on current owner for maintenance rf yard. Approval would be subject to the following conditions: l . Regrading to be done under close supervi sion with sta`'f and City Engineer to assure that proposed contours wi'i! blend with the neighbors yard,. 4. City to require that the applicant have this grading done professionally and not by the applicant. 3. Proper erosion controls to be approved and supervised by staff.
