letters list the changes from the original site plan and the revised site plan
and they are on file in the Planning Dept. Clerk stated a letter from Philip
Best, attorney for Mr. Vockrodt, also is on file.
Ken Attebery stated the revision process as outlined by Washington State Code
does not require public notice or public hearings. He stated he received a
letter last week requesting a revision and he notified interested parties that
this would be heard today. He stated further that State law indicates that
revisions in permits may be granted if they are within the scope and intent of
the original permit; that of the 7 conditions which accompany the original permit,
it is his feeling that all the conditions with the exception of #1 are being
satisfied through the building permit and departmental review process. He stated
that the change in site plan will affect #1. (#l reads: Major vegetation shall
be retained where feasible, particularly along the north property line and in the
southwest of the site.) He discussed the two site plans and stated both plans
indicate 20 covered parking stalls and the use utilized by the original permit
is not changed. He stated that the parking area has been reduced from 35 stalls
to 26 stalls and this is still 6 above the minimum requirements. He stated the
survey resulted in a finding that the lot area is 5.7% less than the area indicated
on the original site plan; that the original plan indicates 40,893+ sq. ft. and
the revised plan indicates 38,570 sq. ft.
PROPONENTS:
Don Ostrom, 36256 SE Fish Hatchery Road, Fall City, stated they have done the
best thing they could do to comply with the DOE and the site plan that has been
submitted is very near to the original plan. He stated the total concept has
not been changed. Mayor Jarstad stated that original plan shows more trees
than the revised plan and Mr. Ostrom stated that the trees are still there. He
stated it is the SE corner that will be affected and they plan to landscape that
area; that they want it to look nice.
OPPONENTS:
Phil Best, Attorney for Mr. Vockrodt, discussed building permits that were issued
for a building design that is completely different from the one approved by the
Shorelines ttearing Board and requested that those building permits be formally
withdrawn. Mr. Attebery explained that he has indicated to Mr. Ostrom that his
building should be ceased until this process has been completed. Mr. McCluskey
stated that issue is not before the Council at this time and only the revised
plan should be considered. Mr. Best stated that the plan that is before Council
is much more in conformance with the Substantial Development Permit that was
approved than the plan for which building permits were issaed. He stated lurther
that Mr. Vockrodt has some difficulty with his view because the new plan has
a three-story structure. He discussed the parking spaces and stated some of
the cars will have to park on the street and the cars parked in the SE corner
w~ll have to back out into the street to exit the parking lot. tie requested that
the City Council visit the site before rendering a decision. He then asked that
Mr. Ostrom reapply for a Substantial Development Permit for the revised plan.

D~scusslon followed regarding setbacks and Mr. Attebery stated the building
setback on the revised plan is 14 ft. and it was less than that on the original

will curtail people's view. Commissioner Swanson asked what the number of
living units per sq. ft. is and Mr. Attebery replied that there is one living
unit per 1,928 sq. ft. in the revised plan and one living unit per 2,044 sq.
ft. in the original plan.
Mr. Ostrom stated he has already spent a considerable sum of money on this
project because it was approved and it would work a hardship on him if he has
to go through more hearings. He stated he has w~rked very closely with the
Planning Dept. and City and he has been very careful to comply.
Motion by Mayor Jarstad and Commissioner Swanson to delay a decision regarding
a shoreline permit revision until next week in order to allow the Council to
view.the property, carried.
