. p'~nninq n.....;qeion Meeting 7 1-6-93 . ~E #87-26: (Continued) approved plan, however, it may determine that the berm, as =nstruct.ed, is appropriate for the situation and that it may remain - or it =uld dete.nnine that some modification to the approved plan is appropriate, rot that the berm as it now exists exceeds a reasonable height and that some u.JlL~omise is needed. Planner Bergly outlined the following considerations: 1. 'Ihe berm was interrled to create privacy f= the units; to help reduce noise and visibility from the east and southeast (NSP Sul::station and Highway 10) and the south (Parkshore Drive and I- 694); and to provide interesting landforms in the backyard. 2. 'Ihe berm as tuilt, wraps around the east side of the tuilding instead of gradually sloping all the way to the street in the SE =rner as was planned and approved. The Planner encourages the City to allow some form of berm to =ntinue in the SE =rner if it is determined that the berm should be lowered. 3. It is questionable as to whether or not the city would have approved this larger berm if the Awlicant had proposed it initially. 4. All residents in the affected units should be =nsulted to . determine their preference. 5. 'Ihe berm appears to be located partially in the street Right of Way f= Old Highway 10 and may have been placed over a City sanitary sewer line. Construction of the berm in the R/W was not auth=ized. 6. 'Ihe "as-tuilt" plan, as attached, does not appear to shOlN the actual =nfiguration of the berm. Planner Bergly recommends to delay action f= at least one llIOnth to allow response fram the residents directly affected. Probst noted that some affected homeowners were present and asked if they had any connnents on the berm. Nestor and Edith Korpi stated they felt the berm should be cut down to 42 inches as they were infonned when they purchased their horne. Mr". Korpi stated there is going to be a potential drainage problem as there is only a 10 to 12 inch plastic pipe used f= drainage. Joe Juridvich states he likes the high berm because it blocks the NSP site. Camnission requested the City contact NSP and request screening and clean up of the site. winiecki stated the issues need to be resolved with the affected homeowners and the developer pri= to being turned over to the Townhouse . Association. McGraw stated this is not in COllpliance to the =iginal site plan. He would like a clarification fram the developer when and hOlN they are going to conform to the =iginal site plan.
