Table Chair Thompson opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Lambeth asked what side of the home the addition would be located on. Senior Planner Bachler reported the addition would be placed on the east side of the home. Commissioner Lambeth understood the property was in compliance when the house was constructed in 1953. However, the property became non-conforming after the Zoning Code was changed. Senior Planner Bachler stated this was the case. He explained the property was originally developed per City Code and was in conformance with City requirements at that time. Chair Thompson questioned if the applicant’s contractor had drafted a grading and erosion control plan. Senay Kindler, 1536 Edgewater Avenue, commented this has been discussed with the builder. She noted the piping that was currently in place would be cleared out. She noted a more detailed plan would be completed at the time the building permit application is submitted. She explained her street was reconstructed three years ago and understood the importance of proper water drainage. Chair Thompson discussed the importance of properly managing the water runoff on this property. She inquired if the addition would have gutters. Ms. Kindler stated that new gutters would be installed on the entire house and the addition. She then discussed the water issues she was having in her garage and noted the contractor has been made aware of these concerns.
