Based on the initially submitted building plans and site <br /> plan, and the grading&drainage pla.n received 5-9-06: <br /> 1. The house is 3 stories hig11 based on the methods the City uses to define stories and <br /> � baseinents. The proposed basement floor is above existing grade at the low side aud only <br /> 4' into the ground at the high side. Applicants have then proposed to artificially�raise the <br /> grade around the house to meet the 50%/6' foundation coverage requirement for this to <br />��"" " " ' be a basemeilt. The City has been reject'v.ig such methods as being in violation of the '"' � <br /> height measurement definition that states in part "...Topographic changes which elevate <br /> the adjoining grotuid level above the existing terrain shall not be considered in <br /> determining buildiiig height...". <br /> 2. The house exceeds the 30' height liinit by 3.5' (or by 2.5' depending on how the highest <br /> gable is defiiled). It is likely this can best be resolved by a combined effort of setting the <br /> house deeper into the grotmd and lowering the roof pitches, each of which has <br /> rauiifications in the design of the house... <br /> , . . . , . , <br /> 3. ` The action of piling fill against the liouse iii the fioiit and side yard results in a house that <br /> is artificially perched above the existing grade, will not be in keeping with the <br /> neighborliood, a.nd is simply a.n attempt to create a walkout sihiation on a relatively flat <br /> lot. For instazice, the driveway will rise from 962' at the street to 965.2' at the garage in <br /> 43', a slope averaguzg 7% with no flat apron at tlie garage or at the street. This is barely <br /> fiinctional... <br /> 4. The pool was constructed via building permits issued in 1984 that required the pool and <br /> all hardcover to be at least 75' from tlle lake. The sutvey presented at that tiine indicated <br /> , it would be 77' from the lake. For wllatever reasons, the pool today is 67' froin the shore <br /> and its patio is 63' from the shore. The pool extends past the avera�e lakeshore setback. <br /> It is staf�'s assuniption that grade level pools at that time were not considered as an <br /> average setback encroachmeiit; toclay tliey 1re. <br /> . . � <br /> ..� , � <br />
