Maximum allowed width ofremaining walkways and stairs is 4'. Applicant to submit a planting schedule to provide for vegetative screening of the remaining retaining walls. Such schedule shall detail the type, location, number and size of plantings. Upon approval by the Planning Commission, planting schedule shall be adhered to with completion of plantings within 12 months of completion of retaining wall modifications. 2. Approval of a hardcover variance only for the retaining walls and 4' walkway/stairway system (hardcover percentages to be determined when revised proposal is submitted/approved). 3. Recommend Council adoption of "automatic lot area variance" resolution in conjunction with resolution of after-the-fact variance application. 4. Applicant to obtain necessary after-the-fact building permit prior to modification of the retaining walls and stairway system. 5. Deck by cabin shall be modified to eliminate encroachments into the 0-75' setback. 6. Recommend that McCloud finalize the subdivision of the adjacent lakeshore strip (this was later completed). Concurrently, the Building Inspector was working with McCloud regarding the addition to the cabin, for which no construction plans were available. Further activity on this application did not occur until December 1992 at which time a structural review of the walls was submitted by Liesch Engineering, followed by a landscape plan by The Village Craftsmen. On 1-19-93 Planning Commission again reviewed the application and tabled it, directing McCloud to: 1. Provide registered professional engineer certification for the retaining walls (the Liesch report was not signed by a PE), 2. Provide plans to modify walls such that terrace widths do not exceed 3'. 3. Provide plans for removal of retaining walls serving merely to support the deck. 4. Bring this back to Planning Commission after ice-out so the site could be viewed.
