At that time the a�plicatioii was <br /> iabled and the applicaut was directed to work�vith the City Engineer to achieve a grading and drainage <br /> plau that was acceptable to the City. The a�plicani:has subrniited a revised�lan for review based on the <br /> Ci[y Engineer's conunenfs. The applicant is requestitig a lot widih variance in order to construct a new <br /> home on the property as well as a conditional use permit due to the gradiiig proposed to creafie walk-outs <br /> on the front and the back of the home. <br /> Curtis stated the applicant has not changed the�laus witIi respect to the walkouts but has reworked the <br /> site gradulg in an attempt to satisfy tlie City Engineer's comments. The applicant has indicated that the <br /> engineered plans for the refiainuzg walls exceeding four feet in height will be submitted with the building <br /> pei7iiit application per the City Engineer's reconunendltion. Jn addition,the applicant has indicated to � <br /> St�ff that the adjacent property ovv�iers support the application and are tivilling to allow a temporary . ' . . <br /> construction easeinent in order for the applicant to const�lict the retaining walls,sonze of whieh are � � . <br /> located five feet froin the property line, - � <br /> Planning Staff reconuilends approval of the lot width variance. <br /> The applicant is proposing to export approxiniately 5,400 cubic yards of�11 from the site, which is the � � <br /> equivaleilt of approximately 500 to 550 iruckloads of inaterial to be hauled off of the site. Curtis stated � <br /> the existing llonle on the lot does have a walkout design and another walkout home could potentially be <br /> constructed on the lot. Staff feels,however,that the cuiYent plan could be the result of forcing two <br /> walkouts aizd coiitrived site�ading on the�roperty inconsistent with the inunediate neighborhood. <br /> If tlle Plamliiig Commission feels that C1ie grading as proposed is appropriate for the site and the adjacent �. <br /> neighborhood and the site is suitable for a hoine witli a walkout basement oii the froi�t and rear,then the <br /> conditional use permit should Ue granted. However, sl�ould tlie Plannin�Commission find that the site <br /> �nadin�is too ex�ieme, creating a contrived ti�valkout tliat will be out of character witll the neighUorllood . <br /> and will have a negative iuipact ou neighUoring properties,the proposed plan should Ue denied. � � ' <br /> If the Plamiing Comnzission finds ihat the�rading�lan is suitable aud reconunends approval, Staff would . <br /> reconiineiid fihat the retaining wall eiigineered plans be submitted�rior to tlle issuance of a building . . • . <br /> perniii:and the tern�orary consiructioii easenlents be submitted prior to Council review. . <br /> Ralm ii�quired whetlier the elevations have changed since the last meefiing. � � <br /> Curtis staied tlie elevations did i1oC change. � <br /> Broitznlan iiidicated the elevatiox�s did change to make it appear as a lookout.
