Planning Director Schwartz provided background information on the request and pointed out the area of

quantities and method, widening of the driveway, construction of walls, motor courts and other
structures. She pointed out the proposed covered porch at the existing stable. She stated that a Variance
is requested to grade for the sports court, as only 750 cubic yards of total cut and fill are allowed to be
graded for a sports court. She further stated that other than the variance the project meets all of the
City's development standards, including the presence of a stable and corral. She also stated that
according to the applicant's agent, the,Fire Department agreed to allow a 16' paved driveway, clear to
the sky, and therefore many of the trees lining the driveway will remain.

delineations. Daniel Ristow explained the staking and the flags.
