Stormwater Infiltration Program <br />Staff Response to Appeal <br />2009-2010 Street and Utility Improvement Project <br />Property Address:7866 Eastwood Road <br />Basis for Appeal:Maintenance <br />Date of Appeal:October 27, 2008 <br />Date of Appeal Hearing:November 10, 2008 <br />Staff Recommendation:Denial <br />Basis for Staff Recommendation: <br />The property owner has stated their concern that due to limited physical abilities, <br />they may not be able to properly maintain the infiltration feature. The feature will <br />be designed to require similar maintenance to an ordinary turf yard. The feature <br />will not be uneven ground, but will include slopes that are readily maintainable <br />with a lawn mower. Since the property owner is able to keep the existing yard <br />maintained, it is anticipated that they will be able to continue to keep the yard <br />maintained with the infiltration feature in place. <br />The property owner has requested that the feature be moved to the next lot to the <br />north (7880 Eastwood Road). Construction of an infiltration feature at 7880 <br />Eastwood Road would result in the removal of a number of large existing oak <br />trees. Therefore the 7880 Eastwood Road is a less desirable location for a feature <br />than 7866 Eastwood Road. The existing topography of the area also indicates that <br />7866 Eastwood is the preferable site for the feature. <br />Based on the above discussion, it is the conclusion of Staff that the standard for <br />upholding the appeal has not been met.
