VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. 7. #02 -2854 KEVIN MANLEY, 1973 FAGERNESS POINT ROAD - VARIANCE AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Gaffron reported that on January 22 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the request. On a 6 -1 vote, the Planning Commission recommended after -the- fact approval for certain items of grading in the 0 -75' lakeshore setback zone, and recommended adoption of the staff recommendation, as follows: 1. Approval of Option 1, with the addition of downspouts and gutters, because it brings the walkout level elevation back to what it was originally. While Option 1 raises the grade to its original elevation, it does not restore the side slopes. • 2. The applicant and his contractors shall strictly adhere to the revegetation and planting plan to ensure adequate screening or softening of the wall system as well as the building facade, and to provide long term soil stability. 3. Construction of the boulder wall system be performed by a highly qualified contractor and/or under direct supervision of the same. 4. The construction shall adhere to the required grades, and proper construction of the "first- flush" system and installation of gutters /downspouts to result in the degree of water quality control the plan intends to accomplish. 5. Applicant shall ensure that the ongoing work is subject to qualified inspection during the construction process. 6. The landscape plan shall incorporate additional tree plantings in the lakeshore yard to help soften the visual impact of the retaining walls and exposed facade. The minority vote was of Chair Smith, who indicated she was in favor of a plan that would also result in restoration of the sideslopes. Gaffron explained that there was not significant differences between the three Options presented to the Planning Commission, however, he believed Option 1 most closely • restored the site to what was originally there.
