Sorry for the delay. I do have a few comments:
1. Average lakeshore setback should be determined by the two adjacent lakeshore houses. The property at
2490 Carman (to the west) is currently vacant. However, the property owner received an approval
recommendation by the planning commission just last night for a setback variance for a new home at 2490
Carman. The City Council will still ultimately need to approve the variance prior to building permit but at a
minimum I think you need to plan according to the proposed home location on that lot. See the attached survey
for 24990 Carman.
2. Hardcover calculations should be provided on the City's forms (Attached).
3. Hei4ht/Stories: I'm not able to accurately review the building height and/or number of stories to confirm
conformance with the Code requirements (2.5 stories and 30' max). It appears that there are two full stories
proposed above grade plus a basement. Will there be a basement level? What is the proposed main floor
elevation?The survey should identify the existing contour 6 feet below the proposed main floor if a basement (3
levels) is proposed.
4. Retaining wall. The plans should be redesigned to eliminate the new retaining wall within the 75'setback.
I've attached some handouts that may prove helpful. If you have questions or would like to set up a day/time to meet let
me know.
