Zoning File #1468 November 9, 1989 Page 2 of 2 Planning Commission also directed app]icant to work with staff to establish limits on the grading work proposed, and applicant was advised to contact staff to arrange a meeting with the pity Engineer. As of this writing, applicant has not contacted us, but the City Engineer has advised staff that additional detail of the proposed grading would be needed before a permit could be issued for the grading, if Council chooses to approve the request. The engineer has indicated that the proposal is conceptually acceptable from a technical standpoint. Also note that there is a need for an average Lakeshore setback variance for the proposed addition. All neighboring residences are so distant that the addition will not encroaci, on any existing lake views enjoyed by neighboring property owners. Staff Roca = endation - Staff recommends approval of the average lakeshore setback variance and the conditional use E.ermit for regrading and retaining wall construction per the conceptual plan. Such approval should be subject to fsnal detailed plan approval by the City Engineer before a grading permit is issued. Regarding the lakeshore setback and hardcover variance, staff does not necessarily disagree with the majority Planning Commission recommendation, but would note to Council that past approvals of new structure in the 0-75' zone hay a in most cases been tied to removal of equivalent amounts of hardcover in the 0- 75' zone, resulting in no hardcover increase in the zone. Also, additions in the 0-75' zone normal 1 y have nog been a] A awed to extend closer to the shoreline than the existing residence. In this case, applicant has indicated that the addition will be 58.5' from the shoreline with portions of the house already 57' from the shoreline. Council should consider whether the proposed drainage system to direct run-off from the 0-75' zone to the 75-250' zone is Justification to grant a hardcover increase. This would seem to be breaking new ground, and would be an apparent departure from past Council policy. A draft resolution reflecting the Planning Commission recommendation is attached for Council review.
