Landgraver stated in his <br />view additional information will need to be submitted prior to it proceeding to the City Council. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated in her view the additional information would be a prerequisite of the permitting process <br />and that the work will go through an engineering review on the City level prior to any work being <br />conducted. <br /> <br />McGrann stated even if the Watershed District approves the permit, it will still need to be reviewed by th <br />City Council. <br /> <br />Curtis stated Staff will not allow the applicants to proceed forward with the work until all the required <br />information is submitted and reviewed. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated she is comfortable with moving forward given the process that must still be followed. <br /> <br />Landgraver moved to recommend approval of Application No. 13-3645, Gary Briggs, 1905 <br />Concordia Street, and Brian Sundstrom, 1895 Concordia Street, to recommend approval of the <br />hardcover variances and conditional use permits in order to allow the applicants to restore their <br />respective lakeshore slopes through stabilization, grading, and the installation of retaining walls. <br /> <br />McGrann asked if the motion could also include that if no additional documentation is submitted, the <br />application will not proceed forward to the City Council. <br /> <br />Schwingler stated they would need to submit that information and come back before the City Council <br />before they can obtain a permit. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked if the Planning Commission will get to see the more detailed plans. <br /> <br />Curtis stated the City Council will be reviewing the additional information. <br /> <br />Schoenzeit recommended the motion be subject to Staff’s recommendations and City Engineer review. <br /> <br />Leskinen suggested the motion also include a requirement for a landscape plan prior to review by the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked the motion also include a recommendation that the overall work be reviewed by an <br />engineer retained by the applicants. <br /> <br />Landgraver amended his motion, McGrann seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. <br />13-3645, Gary Briggs, 1905 Concordia Street, and Brian Sundstrom, 1895 Concordia Street, to <br />recommend approval of the hardcover variances and conditional use permits in order to allow the <br />applicants to restore their respective lakeshore slopes through stabilization, grading, and the <br />installation of retaining walls, subject to a landscape plan being submitted and further subject to <br />the recommendations of Staff and the City Engineer, with the recommendation that an engineer <br />retained by the applicants review the overall system.
