Council received an update on a Planning Commission case in which a homeowner seeks to change backyard grading after construction. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and heard neighbor testimony that focused on potential drainage impacts.
Staff said the matter falls within the building official’s authority to determine whether the proposed terrain change is appropriate.
