By: City Engineer Steve Jankowski and Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: On May 16, 199~, the City received an application from North Fork, Inc. to grade soils on Lots 5, 6, 7 and 8, Blocl{. 2, Northfork Links Addition. The purpose of the project is to create walkout building sites. Tlie following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Applicant's letter and attached Grading Plan M4e, mo from Zoning Administrator Frolik to Planning Commission dated July 5, PrDposed f'mdings of fact Pr~pposed conditional use permit Notification: Conditional Usepermits are required to be subjected to public hearings with all properties within 350 feet being n~tified of the public hearing. In this case, Staff attempted to notify all property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. Observations: The applicant is lSroposing regrading four lots to raise the building pad elevations four to seven feet to accommodat~ walkout type homes. A major concern relates to. drainage,-.particularly the .... flooding potentia~ of the created walkout ~[s~..The area west of the subject properties appears to be a low ~ea'with~6~Itan ou~tI6fi-- Th'e app--} has proposed~dih~-a~.Yeggi6-nCo_-~_efilthe;rTe/a~ai-dS - of-the two no-n-h[~. _'-i-~/.

It is Staff's opinion th~"hhig proposal is adequate, in '[h~fi~~Xi~-fih~drainage situation largely unchanged. However, it should be noted that currently m~n~ff flows down Andrie Street from the intersection of 153rd to catch basins which// are located betw~n Lots 7 and 8, a distance of approximately 1800 feet. Generally, overland flow5 should be limited to a distance of 700 to 800 feet. Large distances result in flooding of the wheel[ line portion of th~ roadway during intense storms. A preferable method of handling the drainage\ would be to inst~ll additional catch basins in Andrie Street along the south line of Lot 5, which/ would drain wefltward into a pond on the golf course. This line would cut the overland flow distance on Andtj'e Street in half, much closer to the desireable distances, as well as provide an( outlet for the re~ yard drainage. Several neighbo~'ing residents have expressed opposition to the modification stating that they purchased there ~ts with the understanding that the existing grading represented essentially the final grading and[that the amount of grade change being proposed is not acceptable to them. A second concern is that the change in grade will result in the steepening of driveways to these homes. A final concern iS the impact to neighborhood aesthetics with these 4 building pads raised as much as 7 to 8 feet.
