Conditional Use Permit Application
Richard & Patricia Hoganson:
Bill Kalar, Land & Resource Administrator, reported on the continuation of the Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) application request from Richard and Patricia Hoganson. On May 9, 2012, the Planning
Commission recommended denial of this after-the-fact CUP request. On May 15, 2012, the Board of
Commissioners tabled the CUP request for thirty (30) days for an opportunity to develop a restoration plan
for work completed on Hoganson's property in Crystal Hills. Mr. Kalar referred to a letter he received from
a civil engineer who indicated that it would be better if the rock stairway stayed in place as removal could
cause additional environmental damage. The rock stairway was installed to replace a rotted, wood
staircase; however, this would not have been approved because it is in a bluff impact zone. Mr. Kalar
reviewed Mr. Hoganson's proposed restorative grading plan. Lengthy discussion followed. Motion by
Johnson, second by Lindquist, and unanimously carried to deny an after-the-fact Conditional Use Permit to
replace retaining walls and work in the shore impact zone with conditions as documented in the May 9,
2012 Planning Commission minutes. Mr. Hoganson will work with the Land & Resource Management
Office for corrective and restorative action. The project is located on Lot 68 Blk 3 Crystal Hills, Section 11
