The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit <br /> in order to repair and restore slope failures on his property. Staff recommends approval of the plan but <br /> continues to recommend the drainage solutions be certified by a licensed professional engineer. <br /> John Bailey,Applicant, stated three years ago they had a couple of heavy rains and one of them created a <br /> bad slide and then another rain a week later caused another failure. Bailey indicated he has assembled a <br /> very competent team to look at this project and come up with a solution to it. Ron Anderson with Final <br /> Grade has done a number of similar projects on Lake Minnetonka with good results and Tom Wickum <br /> has already obtained the permit to do the rip-rap. Norling Landscaping will do the plantings. Bailey <br /> stated they are trying to do the project right,keep it natural, and that they have added engineering on the <br /> drain pipes and berms. Bailey stated in his opinion the slope will end up as good as or better than it was <br /> prior to the washout. <br /> Walsh asked how the slope handled the recent rainstorm. <br /> Bailey indicated when the washouts first occurred,they covered the area with fabric and that he is not <br /> worried about runoff anymore. <br /> Walsh stated there were two solutions to this issue: an engineered barrier wall and this option. Walsh <br /> noted Staff had an issue with recommending approval since there was no engineer saying this will be <br /> okay or not cause a bigger problem,which was also one of the recommendations of the Planning <br /> Commission. <br /> Bailey stated they have the engineering on the drainage system,which is what the Planning Commission <br /> asked for, and they have soil borings. Bailey stated they are faced with building an expensive structure <br /> and cutting the slope way back,removing the stairs,denuding the area, and making it a 2:1 slope that <br /> engineers will sign off on or doing what they are proposing. Bailey stated the slope is too steep for that. <br /> In addition,they also have to match into the adjoining properties. <br /> Curtis stated when Staff is presented with a plan to restore the slope,they have to respond to the plan. <br /> The City's engineers will look at the work that went into determining the plan and whether someone is <br /> going to take responsibility for it. Bolton&Menk looked at this plan and they did not say it was not a <br /> logical plan but that he wants an engineer's certification. Curtis noted the City or Bolton&Menk does <br /> not take responsibility for the plan. <br /> Walsh asked whether the City has received that. <br /> Page 9 of 19 <br />
