This may entail requiring implementation of new vegetation as the <br /> site as been cleared for developnlent. Staff would, at a minimum, reconunend that the <br /> City require screening of any proposed retaining walls. The impacts on the immediately <br /> adjacent properties should also be considered. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Should a retaining wall within 5' of the lot line be permitted? <br /> 2. Are there any negative inlplications with a wall within 5' of the lot line? <br /> 3. What level of screeiung should be required due to the steep slopes? <br /> 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Staff Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends approval be gra.nted for the requested lot area and width variances, <br /> however denial of the conditional use permit request. The applicant should be directed, <br /> as a stipulation of the lot area and width variance approval, to revise the grading plan in <br /> accordance with the City Engineer recommendations,prior to review by the City Council. <br /> If the grading plan cannot be revised to meet the City Engineer recommendatioiis without <br /> changing the proposed home, the application shall be directed back to the Planning <br /> Commission. <br />
