Gundlach stated <br /> the recommendations of the building inspector and city engineer were verbally given to the applicant and <br /> the applicant has submitted a revised grading plan reflecting some changes. Gundlach stated it is her <br /> understanding the applicant is in agreement with the retaining wall being tapered onto the adjoining <br /> property but is opposed to the rain garden. <br /> Rahn inquired whether any elevation drawings have been submitted depicting the walls and the screening. <br /> Gundlach stated those have not been submitted. <br /> Palm stated they incorporated the recommendations of the city engineer and building inspector into their <br /> grading and drainage plan that is now before the Planning Commission. Palm stated he has spoken with <br /> the neighbors and that they have a signed agreement that allows them to construct the retaining wall <br /> without an easement. Palm indicated he would prefer the retaining wall to be tapered off towards the <br /> neighboring property. <br /> Palm indicated he does have elevation drawings available tonight. <br /> Rahn opened the public hearing. <br /> Maggie Erikson,4455 Forest Lake Landing, stated they are in agreement with the tail of the wall but that <br /> they are not in agreement with the retaining wall running the length of the property line at a zero setback. <br /> Erikson stated the retaining wall running the length of the property was not discussed at the previous <br /> Planning Commission meeting. Erikson indicated they signed the agreement with the understanding that <br /> the wall would tail off towards their property line. <br /> Palm stated they are not in agreement with the retaining wall running the whole length of the property line <br /> either. <br /> Gundlach stated none of the plans that were submitted depict the retaining wall tapering off towards the <br /> adjoining property. <br /> Bruce Vang indicated he did meet with the property owner and that the plan illustrated on the overhead is <br /> not what they had intended. Vang stated they would like the water from the garage area to be diverted <br /> along the top end of the wall and for the wall to be extended onto the Erickson property slightly. Vang <br /> stated it was not their intention that the wall be located closer to the property line. <br /> Erikson inquired whether the plan shown at last month's meeting could be displayed. <br /> Palm indicated it was an overhead that was discussed at the previous meeting. <br /> PAGE 9 <br />
