To: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator From: Jeanne A. Mabusth, 'Zoning Administrator Date: November 20, 1985 Subject: #991 William Ulrich, 1S35 Bohn's Point Road - Conditional Use Perini,— This is to advise you that t Planning C,)mmi lion called for a stop work order for all building and g, ;ding activities at the Ulrich site. They demanded immediate action because of the filling and gradinq viola- tions within the 0-75' setback area and major filling and grading performed by the applicant out of the scope of the original building permit and the original grading plans. The Bohn's Point neighbors reported that filling has been going on for the past year and that now they were excavating the wetlands on the Blohorn property. Staff had worked with Ulrich after a strain" 'Line -;irid storm had knocked down over 100 mature trees on the sit- and allowed him to do grading and filling where trees were removed and repairs to a drainage system that had been damaged. Ulrich has admitted that he did bring in approximately 4000 cubic yards of fill later that year to prepare the building site. This all appears mute in consideration of the building site now. The huge stock piles of earth cover everything. The neighbors claim the house has been raised above existing grade. The filling within the 0-75' setback area does not involve major charges in elevation but does involve filling of about 3 to b inches top soil for planting of grass. Staff has requested silt fencing along the entire disturbed area adjacent to t',e lagoon. It is my understanding from s'-aff that this wall was done sometime around the third week of October. 1,ie applicant was advised to file an after -the -fact conditional use permit. The additional filling and grading completc-1 within the original Plohorn property and the Ulrich property is not c ; read by this land use application and staff will ask that. a - sparate af•;.,__-•the-fact application be filed. From reports of the neighbor- and building contractor's staff on site, this work was completed on November 9th & 10th, a week before the November 18th Planning Commission meeting. This involves major filling and grade changes never reviewcd with btaff. Staff has been advised by the hlic Works Department that the re- porte,: excavation of the wetlands _nvolved the sewer con -Attic nd a clean out pipe installed at the edge of the wetlands. ,lev.+tior. _ ` the basement floor is at 933, the flood plain elevation o:' .5 requires that the f loor be at a minimum elevation of 932.5; most City ..es would ask for a 933.5 elevation. The f irst f loor or cei 1 ing of the basement is 1' feet high. The vest portion or one third of the foundation will require 2 feet cuts into the upper slopes. There i s nothing in our code that l imits the height of a basement.. The height of a structure is determined , diagram enclosed for your review, The house does not exceed 30 feet from proposed finished grade.
