Site A represents Lot 7 and 8 of <br />Northfork and Site B represents Lot 5, 6, 7 and 8 of the Northfork Links Addition. The proposal <br />for Site A is to regrade the lots to accommodate walk-out style homes. The proposal for Site B is <br />to complete the grading and importing of soils to achieve elevations approved in the grading plan <br />associated with a conditional use permit issued in 1995 that has now expired. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated the grading of Site A entails placing the foundation for each of <br />the two future homes at the existing grade and building up the grade from four to six feet <br />surrounding the front of the structure. This plan results in the walkout elevation being two feet <br />higher than the lowest point on each lot. A swale having a depth of two feet would convey water <br />from the structure to the western property line, resulting in a swale grade of 1% or less. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Dennis Peck, Northfork Development Director, explained when the site was originally graded the <br />intent was to maintain the site and not bring in outside material.
