Kempf stated he would like the City to <br /> maintain some say over the location of the driveway and the elimination of trees. <br /> Turner stated the City would have some control over the location of the driveway as it relates to sight <br /> distance, slope and grades. Turner stated the City would not be able to control the removal of trees but <br /> that the applicant could voluntarily place a covenant over that area to preserve the trees wherever <br /> possible. <br /> Schoenzeit stated based on the limited septic sites,it is unlikely that either of these two lots would come <br /> back for a future subdivision. <br /> Lindbloom stated he has the one lot under purchase agreement subject to city approval of the application <br /> and that it is their intention to construct a house in the middle of the lot. <br /> Schwingler moved,Rice seconded,to recommend approval of Application#08-3374,William G. <br /> Robinson,505 Willow Drive,with the recommendation that the applicant consider preserving as <br /> many trees as possible during construction of the driveway.

The applicants have used the approvals <br /> granted to Ted Capra,the property just to the south,as a guideline for their hardcover proposal. <br /> The applicants are requesting minimal hardcover of 0.8 percent within the 0-75 foot zone in order to <br /> construct a lake access stair and 29.9 percent hardcover within the 75-250 foot zone for the house, • <br /> driveway, and sidewalk.The house they have proposed is under 15 percent structural coverage and has <br /> the appearance of a one and a half story home when viewed from the road. A three-car garage is <br /> proposed as well as minimal driveway and sidewalk. <br /> Sonnek distributed copies of the new survey on the property. <br /> PAGE 12 <br />
