LA19-000060 TIM DRUK,3348 BAYSIDE ROAD,CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT,6:32 <br /> P.M.—6:40 P.M. <br /> Tim Druk,Applicant, was present. <br /> Oakden stated the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for grading and filling within the <br /> floodplain and mitigation of the 100-year floodplain for construction of a new two-car detached garage. <br /> The site is substandard in size, width, and has a protected tributary along the northern property line <br /> creating a limited building envelope. <br /> In order to meet all the required setbacks,the detached garage is partially located within the 100-year <br /> floodplain. The garage will be elevated out of the floodplain with fill. Placing fill in the floodplain <br /> requires a conditional use permit. The 26' x 26' is proposed to be raised approximately two feet. <br /> The DNR has been notified of the request and the public hearing must remain open until the City Council <br /> meeting due to the notification process. <br /> Staff finds the proposed plans meet the conditions for filling in the floodplain. The applicant is mitigating <br /> the work by creating more floodplain area within the property. They are also raising the floor of the <br /> garage to place the building above the floodplain elevation. The applicant is working to place the building <br /> within the required setbacks leaving them minimal options to work outside the floodplain. <br /> The City Engineer has reviewed the proposed plans and had the following comments: <br /> 1. Sediment erosion control measures should include a double silt fence. <br /> Page 1 of 24 <br />
