To: Planning Commission Frost: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Date: September 11, 1985 Subject: #965 Johr. S. Piiisburf, Jr., 1280 Bracketts Point Road - Conditi ,)nai l;se Permit Zoning District - LR-lA Application - Cut/fill within 75' of lakeshore, cut/fiii in fioodplain area List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Plat Map Exhibit C - Property Owners List Exhibit D - Site Plan Exhibit E - Flood Plain Grading/Fill Plan Exhibit F - Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Approval of Fill b Grading Exhibit G - Footing Protection/Elevation Diagram The applicant is proposing to construct a home on this relatively low parcel on Bracket.t's Point. The setback, hardcover, and septic require- ments have been adequately met, but because a fair portion of the interior area of the lot is below the 931.5' flood plain elevation, applicants are proposing to fill portions of the interior and cut portions near the lake - shore. The resulting elevations provide equivalent areas of cut and fill, so there is no net effect on the flood plain. In the 0-75' setback area, the cuts average about 6" overall. The slope is nearly flat in the 0-75'.irea, and the soil is quite sandy, hence there is no substantial effect on the run-off patterns at the site. Note also that a small curved built-up terrace is proposed near the house. Portions of this fill are essential to the project in order to provide protection for the footings. No hardcover is proposed or allowed in this area. The terrace will have :;o appreciable effect on the run-off patterns of the site. The applicants have been granted approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for this project. City Engineer, Glenn Cook, has re- viewed the site and grading plan and has no problem with it. You wii1 recap that this iot was granted a iot area variance per Resolution 01755 in May 1985. Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for filling and cutting in the flood plain and 0-75' lakeshore setback arra, subject to the condition that suitable lakeshore protection measurE-s are provided to eliminate any sedimentation into the lake.
