Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 11, 2014 Page 14 When originally surveying the property, Mr. Ellering advised that the parcel line for the proposed Parcel B was set up a bit shorter, with the rationale being to be in compliance for impervious surface. However, based on some apparent misunder- standings in the past, Mr. Ellering advised that the Burke side of the lot had been reduced down to 80' lots on the east side and without sufficient right-of-way. In discussions with the City Engineer, Mr. Ellering stated that with Burke being a dead-end street with curb and gutter, it was not anticipated that the roadway would become any wider than current conditions. Also, in an attempt to meet im- pervious surface coverage requirements, Mr. Ellering advised that one of the ex- isting sheds would be removed and not become part of Parcel A, and at staff's suggestion, another smaller shed would need to be removed from its current loca- tion as it was on the line of the proposed two parcels, and would be replaced with a comparable shed with water management systems installed to take up the differ- ence. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr. Ellering stated that he was in agreement with staff's conditions as detailed; and opined that they had come up with a good proposal and done well in working through the complexities, provid- ing a good compromise for him and the community as a whole. As the applicant had already spoken to Condition C in the RCA, Councilmember Willmus advised that he would take that into consideration during his delibera- tions. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Ellering advised that his prefer- ence in making both proposed parcels compliant with impervious surface re- quirements, he would add more to the existing lot, but admitted that wouldn't work due to the right-of-way issues on Burke, and unless the City's Engineering Department was willing to reduce that right-of-way. At the request of Coun- cilmember McGehee, Mr. Ellering clarified that the 35% impervious coverage was a combination of both proposed parcels A and B, and the combined sheds were already included in that figure. At the request of Councilmember Etten, Mr. Lloyd advised that no determination had been made yet as to the location of any best management practices (BMP) pond or water infiltration systems, recognizing that the lot was heavily wooded; but would be based on where it would best function on the site. Without more definite information on grades of the slope or soil conditions, Mr. Lloyd noted that a routine assessment would be part of the administrative process moving for- ward as well as installation and a maintenance agreement for any BMP, but noted a great amount of flexibility available in locating it. Mayor Roe addressed the idea brought up by Mr. Ellering to shift the property line further toward Burke if it was deemed appropriate to reduce the right-of-way in light of any future potential changes; and questioned if this was something staff
