Chair Schroeder noted that the Certificate of Mailing and the Affidavit of Publication were on file with the City. Mabusth reviewed the requested variances and discussed the setbacks. Staff was concerned about the direction of the drainage from the tennis court and she reviewed the alternatives that would alleviate the potential drainage problem. Discussion ensued regarding the encroachment of the tennis court drainage into the area of the septic mound. • Rowlette inquired if the applicant would be willing to decrease the size of the tennis court by 2.5 feet on each end to shorten the area by 5 feet and avoid impacting the toe of the septic mound. Herb Kahler responded that he did not know what the implications of doing that would be. Chair Schroeder proposed that they approve the variances but locate the tennis court at least 10 feet from the mound and 10 feet from the lot lines. It was moved by Rowlette, seconded by Lindquist, to recommend approval of the variances for Erika and Herbert F. Kahler, 2725 Rainey Road, with the provision that grading and drainage plans be submitted prior to City Council review showing the drainage being directed away from the toe of the septic mound, and the tennis court being located a minimum of ten feet from the toe of the septic system and the side and rear lot lines.
