DESIGN LLG It shows on sheet 2 of the Variance Plans that the applicant proposed to disturb 50.4% of the lot area which exceeds 25% in slope, whereas no disturbance is permitted within these slopes. A variance is being requested to disturb in slopes greater than 25%. It shows on sheet 2 of the Variance Plans that the Applicant proposed to disturb 69.4% of the lot area which varies in slope from 20% to 24.99% whereas only 20% disturbance is permitted within these slopes. A variance is being requested to disturb in slopes between 20%-24.99%. It shows on sheet 3 that the Applicant proposes retaining walls along both sides of the driveway, along the northerly side of the dwelling into the rear yard, along the southerly side of the property and 2 retaining walls in the rear yard behind the dwelling. The retaining walls will be up to 20.5 ft high whereas §25-28.8.f.11 stipulates that retaining walls greater than 4ft high require a variance. A variance is being requested for all walls greater than 4 feet in height. Due to the height of the retaining walls that are proposed, it is our recommendation that safety fences be installed along the top of any retaining wall which exceeds a height of 3 feet. Safety fences have been proposed on all walls greater than 3 feet in height. The property in question has a street address of 104 Winding Way. However, the plans show that the driveway will connected to the end of Undercliff Terrace South. In order to avoid confusion for 911 responders and mail delivery, the Applicant should contact the Tax Assessor to determine if the property in question should be assigned a new street address on Undercliff Terrace South. Applicant has reached out to the Tax Assessor’s office and waiting a response on the request to change the address. The applicant should address the Board regarding their plans to mitigate the increase in runoff resulting from construction of the new dwelling. The Applicant has proposed a drywell system that will collect all the new roof runoff water to mitigate the increase in impervious coverage.
