The existing retainina walls are located within 30' of the shoreline but do <br /> not extend the full width of the property. The shoreline banl: extends <br /> approximately 18' above lake level, and is e�ibitin� slunip failure. <br /> �. The proposed retaining wall system desi�ned by American Engineering <br /> Testing, Inc. has been approved by the Ciry Engineer from an engineerinQ <br /> standpoint. <br /> d. The existing retaining wall system/stairway hardcover including a 43 s.f. <br /> existing shed is approximately 2.5`7�. The proposed retaining wall <br /> svstem/stairway/shed will comprise approximately 5.5 o hardcover in the <br /> p-7�' zone. The majority of 0-75' hardcover is the retainina wall system. <br /> e. The applicant has provided a suitable planting and reveaetation plan ��hich <br /> compensates for the necessary removal of existing juniper type vegetation <br /> along the lakeshore bank, which will be removed in order to facilitate the <br /> retaining wall project. Further, the planting plan provides sufficient <br /> varieties and quantities of shrubbery to provide adequate screening to the <br /> new retaining wall system. <br /> f. Plannin� Commission finds that approval should appropriately be <br /> conditioned on proper erosion controls, appropriate vegetation screeninQ, <br /> and a finite time period for completion of the project to minimize erosion <br /> potential. <br /> 4. The Council finds that the conditions existina on this property are peculiar to it <br /> and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that aranting <br /> the variance would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a <br /> fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, would not merely serve as <br /> a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable <br /> hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property riQht of the <br /> applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code <br /> and Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> ������ <br />
