f, To: Mark E. Bernhardson, ('-Ly Administrator Jeanne n, Mabusth, Zoning Administrator Date: November 20, 1985 Subject: #991 William 111rich, 1535 Bohn's Point Roar] - Conditional Use Permit This is to advise you that the Planning Commission called for a stop work order for ail building and grading activities at the Ulrich site. They demanded imm �diate action because of the filling and grading viola- tions within the 0--75' setback area and major filling and grading performed by the applicant out of the sco of the original building permit and the original grading p'- The Bohn's neighbors reported that filling has been going on for the past year al _ _..at now they were excavating the wetlands on the Blohorn property. Staff had worked with Ulrich after a straight line winI storm had knocked down over 100 mature ti•-s -on the site 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 changes in elevation but does involve filling of about 3 to 6 inches -op soil for planting of grass. Staff has requested silt fencing along `he entire disturbed area adjacent to the lagoon. It is my understanding Jrom staff that this wall was done sometime around the third week of October. The applicant was advised to file an after -the -fact conditional use permit. The additional filling and grading completed within the original Blohorn property and the Ulrich property is not covered by this land use application and staff will ask that a separate after-*he-f_act application be filed. From reports of the neighbors and building c,:)ntractor's staff on site, this work was completed on November 9th & 10th, week before the November 18th Planting Comm i ;sAC meeting. This involves major filling and grade chang,-s never reviewed with staff. Staff has been advised by the Public Works Department that the re- ported excavation of the wetlands involved the sewer connection and a clean out pipe installed at the edge of the wetlands. The elevation of the basement floor is at 933, the flood plain elevation of 931.5 requires that the floor be at a minimum elevation of 932.5; most City codes woulc ar" for a 933.5 elevation. The f irst f loor or ceiling of the basement is 1... _eet high. The west portion or one third of the foundation will require 2 feet cuts , ) the upper slopes. There is nothing in our code that limits the height of a basement.. The height of a structure is determined per diagram enclosed for ir. review. The house does not exceed 30 feet from prC-)osed finished grade.
