Commissioner Bauer asked what would be accomplished by requiring another survey to be <br />completed. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported the survey would assist with the setbacks <br />and ordinary high watermark. Staff wanted to make sure the layout for the garage was accurate <br />and that minimum elevations changes were being met. He reported fill could be brought in, in <br />order to meet the City's elevation standards. <br />Commissioner VanScoy questioned how deep the lot was. <br />Community Development Intern Meyers explained the lot was roughly 80 feet deep. <br />Commissioner VanScoy commented that if the applicant was forced to meet the 50-foot ordinary <br />high watermark requirements, the proposed garage would have to be placed on the street. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported the lot was closer to 100 feet in depth. <br />Commissioner Brauer discussed the unique factors within this request and the recommendations <br />from the EPB. He believed that altering the garage location would vastly impact the neighbor's <br />sight lines. It was his opinion this lot was oddly shaped and for this reason, he would support <br />adopting the variance. <br />Chairperson Levine agreed and thanked Commissioner Brauer for his summarization of the <br />request. <br />Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, VanScoy, Andrusko, <br />Brauer, and Nosan. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Maul. <br />Chairperson Levine closed the public hearing closed at 7:46 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />Motion by Commissioner Brauer, seconded by Commissioner Bauer, adopt Resolution #16-06- <br />105 approving the Findings of Fact, amending paragraph #15 to ensure preservation of trees so as <br />to provide a buffer for the neighbors; paragraph # 13 requiring the applicant to complete an <br />additional survey and be allowed to bring in fill to meet the City's requirements; and noting the <br />terrain and existing trees prevent the garage from being located closer to the house. <br />Further discussion <br />Planning Commission/June 2, 2016 <br />Page 5 of 7 <br />
