Planning Commission Member Norton inquired how much time the applicant had to act on the Variance approval before the approval is void. Bittner stated the applicant will receive a letter indicating the approval and the timeframe is included in the letter. All members voted "aye". Motion carried. APPLICANr: Jason Forrest Applicant requests a Variance Bittner explained the Staff Report. Applicant was present and represented by Kevin Yeager. Chair Hallan asked why the driveway was not included in the existing impervious coverage calculations. Staff indicated the surveyor did not include them. Chair Hallan pointed out the entire bluff area is included in the impervious coverage calculations of io.5 for the proposed construction, which is a misleading calculation. Chair Hallan stated a more realistic calculation would be approximately 20%south of Walleye Bay. Mr.Yeager stated the applicant has a similar issue as the previous applicant regarding on-grade slab construction and the methodology. They plan to build up the site in the area that does not reach floodplain height with a monolithic slab to maintain the elevation required. The buildable envelope is very small and they plan to get the water to the retention area sub-terrain via the gutters and underground piping so they don't have to add so much fill. Chair Hallan pointed out the finished floor elevation of i2oo.o which is more than a foot above the regulatory flood elevation. Mr.Yeager pointed out with the monolithic slab they are required to be 6 inches above the base elevation, so they will essentially be 18 inches.
