Reinhardt Date: 2Date1`2- Date: : For City Use Only it (00c> 00 MM'" N]JIA DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST Joseph Reinhardt and Katherine Reinhardt ("Reinhardts") seek review of the Technical Evaluation Panel Findings Report and Notice of Decision denying their application for an after the fact Wetland Replacement Plan Application allowing use of the drive constructed to access Lot 19, Block 3, Bliss Plat 2nd Addition (PIN 31.032.20.11.0039) ("Lot 19") and the North 200 feet of Lot 18, Block 3, Bliss Plat 2"d Addition (PIN 31.032.20.11.0038) ("Lot 18"). Reinhardts live in at 18884 Layton Ave. No., located on Lots 6, 7, and 8, Block 3, Bliss Plat 2nd Division ("Residence:"). Lot 18 and Lot 19 lie northwest of the residence. Lot 18 and Lot 19 are separate lots or parcels that were of record on or before January 1, 1973. They are assigned separate tax parcel numbers by Washington County. The plat of Bliss Plat 2"d Division contemplated access to Lot 18 and Lot 19 over Langly Avenue. Reinhardts maintain an outbuilding located on Lot 18. Tanks for the 201 Septic System serving their house are located at the rear of their house. Until recently, they accessed the outbuilding using a drive located on their neighbor's property. When the neighbor constructed a fence denying use of that drive, Reinhardts constructed a drive off Langly Ave., over Lot 19. Construction of the drive impacted wetlands. Reinhardts applied for an after the fact permit, and proposed replacing the impacted wetlands using credits. The Technical Evaluation Panel ("TEP") "deferred to the City to assess if the rear portion of the property [Lot 18 and Lot 19] was buildable in order to determine if this fill was avoidable." The TEP relied on a letter from the City's Planner that focused on whether Lot 18 and Lot 19 could be developed. Reinhardts have not, however, applied to develop those lots at this time. Therefore, it is currently irrelevant, and unnecessary, to determine whether Reinhardts could separately develop Lot 18 and Lot 19. In any event, Reinhardts are entitled to vehicular access the outbuilding located on Lot 18. In addition, it may be necessary to access the tanks for the septic system for maintenance or replacement. The TEP determined that Reinhardts would have access to the outbuilding on Lot 18 and the septic tanks from Layton Avenue over a portion of the Residence lying to the south of their house. The steep terrain in that area, and the presence of the septic tanks would, however, prohibit installation of a drive in that area. The drive Reinhardts constructed from Langly Avenue provides the only practical access to the outbuilding on Lot 18 and the septic tanks. Therefore, Reinhardts request that the City Council reverse the TEP and grant the after the fact Wetland Replacement Plan Application enabling the maintenance of the drive they constructed.
