garage is placed on the west side of the property and is set further back to allow for a longer driveway and a more gradual slope. 2.4 A survey with current topography and a proposed grading plan are being prepared and will be presented at the Planning Commission meeting. The applicant has experienced delays in obtaining this information, but has indicated that it will be available for review by staff prior to the Planning Commission meeting. The applicant has also indicated that less then 2,000 cubic yards of fill will be removed from the site; however, no indicatio::1 was given as to how much material will be moved/regraded on the site. The grading plar. will also show drainage and the location of any retaining walls. 2.5 Section 1016.26 indicates that the impervious surface of a site in a shoreland district shall not exceed 25% unless storm water is conveyed to an on-site or regional ponding facility. Section 1016.25(A)(2)( d) indicates that a permit from the City Council is required for any filling or excavating on undeveloped land zoned R-1 where the site is less than one acres and the proposed fill/ excavation exceeds 2,000 cubic yards. Section 1013.02 outlines the procedure for considering a variance. 3.0 5ittY1ff ((<<J)lJ1J1]lm'il(l~U1J~ 3.1 In reviewing this request, staff made the following ternU:ati.ve fnrnrllnngs. Modified findings will be presented at the Planning Commission meeting after staff has had an opportL:.nity to compare the existing topography of the site with the proposed grading plan. 1. Section 1016.26 of the City Code requires a maximum impervious surface coverage of 25% of a site in the shoreland management district of Lake Josephine un:ess storm water is conveyed to an on-site or regional ponding facility. Storm sewer is located in Belair Circle and the parcel is a non-riparian parcel. 2. The impact of this development on adjacent properties cannot be verified until the existing topography and proposed grading plan have been reviewed. 3. It appears that the steep road-side topography of the parcel creates a physical hardship for the applicant; however, the actual hardship relating to the impervious lot coverage requirement cannot be verified until the existing topography and proposed grading plan have been reviewed. The regrading of the site will undoubtedly have an adverse impact on the mature stands of trees on the site. 4. At this point, it cannot be determined if the proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). This will be determined after the proposed grading plan has been reviewed. PF3086 - RPCA (12/09/98) - Page 2 of3 -,---_._. """.. -- "."..........,.....~--- .....""""".""*"'"
