lJ TO: Mayor and City Council `1�\ FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Ad�ministrato, DATE: December 2, 1985 SUBJECT: Ulrich Property, 1535 Bohn's Point Road Jeanne Mabusth and Tom Jacobs met with the project manager and contractor for the s ibject property on Wednesday, November 27th. At that meeting they discussed their intended landscape plans and conditional use permit. In ad(:ition to outlining the permit fees and work that needs to be done prior to the next consideration by the Planning Commission on this matter, it was indicated to these individuals that should any furtt.er landscaping work be done which has not been expressll approved by the staff in advance of the work being done will result in a citation to the parties involved. HEIGHT OF BUILDING - Having reviewed the applicable ordinances together with the site i_ is our opinion that the height of the building as constructed is legal and under our codes had the house had a different design that conformed to the original contours they could have resulted in a structure that was 4 to 6 feet higher than the one being constructed. The facts of the situation as it relates to this house are as follows: - Basement - Constructed at 933. total 12 foot height. - Gradc_ and-Original_Building_Envelope - Presently investigating the amount of fill that was possibly done on the site prior to issuance of the original foundation permits back in „uly of 1985. Based on the estimates this filling would have possibly raised the site a maximum of 2 feet. Although not possessing original contours for the site we are aware that the site originally had a ridge that ran through part of it, and in fact, the original topography in one area where th(, house is going in was at least 6 fect above what will be the finished grade for the house. On t:he other hand there was extensive moving of soils from one area to fill-in in the other area to flatten out the site. Within the purview of the code this is considered normal and usual gradir,g of the site undr r the excf.ption allowed in section 10.93 subdivision -41. This site modification is within the bounds of site molifications done in several other ireas including: 1145 Wyndmere Road - Jackson 1165 Wyndmere Road - Hong 1180 Wyndmere Road - Kim 3229 Casco Circle 3 - Swans,,,ri - Ileight_of_Building - Both our zoning cod- and the Uniform Building Code address determination of building height.
