Your application is incompiete. The following items must be submitted or revised in order for your application to be considered complete and for the plan review to continue: 1. Certificate of Survey. A survey dated November 5, 2013 was submitted. Please have the survey updated to reflect ail of the City's survey requirements, including but not limited to: • Show the 75 foot setback line from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) • A survey dated 6/17/95 shows stairs and a fire pit lakeside, but these features are missing from your current survey, please clarify. • The property to the south, 1161 Elmwood Avenue, has been issued a building permit to construct a new home. Please refer to the enclosed partial survey for the house location for average setback purposes and have the survey updated to reflect this. • Extend existing topography 50 feet off the property lines on ali sides. 2. Hardcover Calculations. The property is located in Tier 1 of the Stormwater Quality Overlay District. Hardcover calculations were submitted however there are some errors. Please update the hardcover calculation worksheet to reflect City requirements, including but not limited to: • We allow a 100 sf credit for decks and pervious patios; you should list the actual patio sf and in the Excludable Hardcover section of the Hardcover Calculation Worksheet you should subtract 100 sf for the patio. • Only retaining walls outside of the 75 foot setback can be excluded from the hardcover calculation Attached is a copy of our hardcover information packet. 3. Retaining Walls. There must be a minimum of a five foot setback from the retaining walls to the property line. Please modify your plans and show the update on the survey. 4. Patio. There must be a minimum of a five foot setback from the patio to the property line. Please modify your plans show the update on the survey. 5. Average Lakeshore Setback. Normally the surveyor shows the average lakeshore setback on the survey by drawing a line between the lakeward most point of homes on both sides of the subject property. Absent a home of the north side of the subject property the average lakeshore setback is determined by the distance from the OHWL to the home addressed 1161 Elmwood Avenue. The proposed patio at 1153 Elmwood Avenue should not encroach closer to the OHWL than the proposed house at 1161 Elmwood Ave. Since the patio is not `at grade' and is elevated, it must meet the average lakeshore setback.
