Case No. 85-8, Amended Special Use Permit to Increase HeiRht of ExistinR Communication Tower - Daniel VauRhan/Northwestern ColleRe Withdrawn from Council Meeting Agenda by Applicant (Whitehouse). ""T Case No. 85-7, Special Use Permit for Land Reclamation, Phyllis and GeorRe Bona (Harold Bona and Attorney Bell were present, representing the applicants). Council was referred to Planning Commission minutes of July 9th and August 7th meetings and to Planning memo (7/2/85). A transparency of the Bona property, showing original contours and existing contours (after filling) was displayed. Miller explained that Council has determined that a Special Use Permit should be obtained, even though the filling has been completed, in order to assure that the filling does not adversely affect adjacent properties, wetlands and natural drainage patterns. Miller explained that this applica- tion is in response to that requirement. Miller reported that the natural drainage swales have been altered as a result of filling, diverting runoff onto the adjacent property to the south; reported that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the' Special Use Permit for Land Reclamation with contingencies, which are to be completed within 60 days: 1. Swale to be re-graded and matched to existing slope. 2. Slope not to exceed 3 to 1. 3. Seeding of the property with rye to prevent erosion. Miller reported that the Grudnoskes (south of Bona site) are not opposed to the filling, but are concerned about drainage onto their property. Harold Bona explained that George Bona has graded and seeded the property; stated that George will correct any problems; feels he can have it completed within a week. Hicks moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve issuance of a Special Use Permit for fill on this site, subject to corrective grading which will relocate the drainage swales entirely on the Bona property, and seeding of the property to prevent erosion which are to be completed within 60 days. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0) Recommended Procedure for Hunter's Park Additions and Alterations to Resi- dences Council was referred to Lynden's letter of 7/24/85 and to Miller's letter to Lynden (7/17/85) re Hunter's Park Procedure for Additions and Alterations. . Miller said he investigated about 50% of the plat, and building plans, and found virtually no "pattern"; found.the setbacks and coverages to be more variable than anticipated. Miller said he found that numerous homes could be expanded, within the R-3 requirements, without variances; suggested that the owners of such units should simply be allowed to apply for a building permit from the City, after approval of their plans by the Homeowners' Association. Miller said that unit expansion requiring variances could be handled like any other variance request in the City, after approval of plans by the Homeowners' Association.
