PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting approval of an administrative Variance in order to
exceed the maximum 65% impervious surface coverage allowance for a proposed residential back yard renovation at
2708 Williams Ave N (APN 1644500170). The subject property is approximately 9,293 square feet (0.21 acres), located
within the Residential-8 (R-8) zone and is developed with a single-family home. The project includes removal of
unpermitted retaining walls as documented in open code case Warning of Violation (WOV): CODE1 9-000641, and
replacement with engineered gravity block walls with an exposed height of up to four feet (4’) tall, along with installation
of new pavers for patio and walkways, decorative aggregate, planting beds, and artificial turf between the terraced walls
and along the sloping ground along the northern property boundary. The retaining walls would be constructed of PisaLite
blocks and no-fines concrete (NFC) backfill. According to submitted materials, the proposed work would occur in both
side yards and the rear yard of the property and would reduce the potential for erosion and improve site stability. The
site is mapped with Moderate Landslide Hazards, High Erosion Hazards, and Regulated Slopes (>25% & <=40%). A
geotechnical report prepared by Associated Earth Sciences Inc. was submitted with the project application.
