Council approval is based on the survey depicting the site plan, grading plan and tree <br />removal plan for a conceptual residence structure footprint submitted by the Applicants <br />and annotated by City staff, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A. Any amendments <br />to the plans which are not in confonnity with City codes or which revise the footprint to <br />an extent that would cause the removal of additional mature trees or result in substantial <br />additional grading within the bluff impact zone will require further City Council review. <br />2. The City Council acknowledges that no building plans have been submitted depicting the <br />floor plans or fa9ade elevation views of the proposed structure, but advises the Applicants <br />that this approval is in part based on statements by the Applicants that the house <br />constructed pursuant to the approval of variances will be in character with other homes in <br />the neighborhood.

Sodding is also acceptable. <br />c) All runoff from the new house, yards, walks and driveways shall be designed to <br />properly manage potential erosion issues due to point discharges. Installation of <br />rain gardens to collect the new runoff shall be required, designed to limit the peak <br />runoff rates, disperse point discharges and prevent erosion. <br />d) Tree removal and backfilling of the resultant ground openings shall adhere to the <br />recommendations of Applicants' engineer as indicated in the report by Carl <br />Anderson Engineering dated April 30, 2012. <br />5.
