When the application was looked at as a whole,the grading did not raise any red flags. When <br /> the house was demolished,the contractor started to clear the site and prepare the building envelope. <br /> Curtis noted the contractor did a good job with the site and no complaints were received. <br /> Crosby asked if the new foundation will be in line with setback requirements. <br /> Curtis indicated it will be and that the only issue is the removal of the fill. <br /> Seals asked how often the review by the Planning Commission is waived. <br /> Curtis indicated it has been done in the past and that it typically happens at the end of the year when there <br /> is no December Planning Commission meeting. <br /> Barnhart noted the public hearing will be held tonight if the City Council waives the review by the <br /> Planning Commission. <br /> Seals stated she does not want to set a precedent for skipping the Planning Commission. <br /> Rief stated this is the second one this year and both were unique exceptions. <br /> Curtis stated one of the concerns addressed is the cleanup of the silt off the street and the contractor has <br /> done a good job with that. <br /> Crosby moved,Printup seconded,to waive review by the Planning Commission of Application No. <br /> 17-3987,John Kraemer& Sons on behalf of Ellen Redmond,2625 Kelly Avenue,and to hold the <br /> public hearing at the City Council meeting.

With the house that was designed,the owner did not want <br /> the house to appear that large and so a basement was built. Sharratt stated in that basement is a sport <br /> court,which generated a lot of the fill. <br /> Crosby moved,Seals seconded,to adopt RESOLUTION NO.6809,a Resolution granNng a <br /> conditional use permit to allow removal of material in excess of 500 cubic yards for the property <br /> located at 2625 Kelly Avenue.
