1 <br />I . i ioG <br />TO: Mayor and C icy Council <br />FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administratoi►� v <br />DATE: December 2, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: Ulrich Property, 1535 Bohn's Point Road <br />Jeanne Mabusth and Tom Jacobs met with the project manager and <br />contractor for the subject property on Wednesday, November 27th. <br />At that meeting they discussed their intended landscape plans and <br />conditional use permit. In addition to outlining the permit fees <br />and work that needs to be done prior to the next consideration by <br />the Planning Commission on this matter, it was indicated to these <br />individuals that should any further landscaping work be done <br />which has not been expres:.ly approved by the staff in advance of <br />the work being done will result in a citation to the parties <br />involved. <br />HEIGHT OF BUILDING - Having reviewed the applicable ordinances <br />together with tt�e site it is our opinion that the height of the <br />building as constructed is legal and under our :odes had the <br />house had a different design that conformed to the original <br />contours they could have -�sulted in a structure that was 4 to 6 <br />feet higher than the one oeing constructed. The facts of the <br />situation as it relates to this house are as follows: <br />Basement - Constructed at 933. total 12 foot height. <br />- GradP and_Original_Building_Enveloee - Presently <br />investigating the amount of fill that was possibly done <br />on the site prior to issuance of the origin-1 foundation <br />permits back in July of 1985. Based on ie estimates <br />this filling would have possibly raised the site a <br />maximum of 2 feet. Althouyil not possessing original <br />contours for the site .,, are aware that the site <br />originally had a ridge that ran through part of it, and <br />in fact, the original topography in one area where the <br />house is going in was at least 6 feet above what wi l l be <br />the finished grade for the house. On the other hand <br />there was extensive moving of soils from one area to <br />fill-in in the other area to flatten out the site. <br />Within the purview of the code this is cinsidered normal <br />and usual grading of the site under the exception <br />allowed in section 10.03 subdivision 21. This site <br />modification is within the bounds of site modifications <br />done in several other areas including: <br />1145 Wyndmere Road - Jackson <br />1165 Wyndmere Road - Hong <br />1180 Wyndmere Road - Kim <br />3229 Casco Circle B - Swanson <br />Height-of_Buildin� - Both our zoning code and the <br />Uniform building Code address determination of building <br />height. Our ordinance in all the residential Lone-, <br />allows for 2 1/2 stories or 30 feet. The height of the <br />structure is determined by measuring the mean <br />
