Anderson stated the neighbors are waiting to <br /> see what happens with this application prior to commencing any work on their property. Anderson <br /> stated in her view she does not anticipate the neighbors would be opposed to grading in the area <br /> of the property line. Anderson noted the neighbors are currently in Florida. <br /> Lindquist inquired whether the deck would be constructed on the lower level. <br /> Bottenberg indicated the proposed deck is to be constructed on the lower level of the house. <br /> Hawn noted the Planning Commission is generally very strict in enforcing its structural coverage <br /> limits. <br /> • Anderson commented they have reduced the house as much as possible, with the goal of the <br /> project to provide one-floor living for her mother. <br /> Stoddard noted there were some issues of concern raised by City Staff. <br /> Hawn inquired whether the Applicant has a problem with relocation of the well. <br /> Anderson stated they do not. Anderson stated the sheds will be removed as well. <br /> Hawn noted this is a small, strangely configured lot. Hawn indicated the reasoning behind the <br /> limit on the structural coverage was to help protect the lakeshore and runoff into the lake, which <br /> sometimes creates hardships for the property owners. <br /> Lindquist inquired whether the Applicant was aware of the issues of concern outlined in the <br /> Planner's Report. <br /> Anderson stated she was. <br /> Hawn stated they will need the consent of the adjoining neighbor in order for the conditional use <br /> permit to be approved. <br /> Anderson stated in her view the neighbors are in agreement that some grading work needs to be <br /> completed in that area in order to address the drainage problems currently being experienced. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> • Lindquist stated he would not have a problem making approval subject to the conditions outlined <br /> Paget <br />
