Council Member Kuether asked if a ghost plat would be required when an application for a building permit for the -new house was requested. Ms. Wyland explained that the City Code did require that a ghost plat be submitted with the building permit. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the minor subdivision for Ida Houle. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for Westlund, Bodeka, Hoppe, Forsham Lake Drive for Reduction of Berm - Three (3) property owners on the north side of Forsham Lake Drive are requesting that the berm along their rear property line be reduced. Initially the berm was installed as part of the Shores of Marshan development and contains some buried debris from the former Forjay operation. Disclosure of this buried debris was provided to the property owners at the time of purchase. The request is to reduce the size of the berm by approximately two (2) feet which will enhance the useability of the applicants rear yards. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and a public hearing was conducted at the August 10, 1994 Planning and Zoning Board meeting after property notification and publication. Engineering consultant John Powell has reviewed the request as it relates to the overall grading of the plat and the specific properties to be regraded. The three (3) lots immediately west of the subject lots are currently owned by the developer of the Shores of Marshan. He has been contacted regarding any interest in participating in the moving of the berm but indicated no interest at this time. The staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the following conditions: 1. Grading activity must leave sufficient topsoil cover over the buried debris to support turf establishment. 2. Grading activity is to be contained to that area lying south of the north property lines of the affected lots and matching the existing grade two (2) feet from the property line as indicated on the drawing. 3. Existing drainage routes must be maintained. Sufficient berming must remain such that drainage from the church site is not directed to the south and into the backyards of these lots. PAGE 13
