Baker stated that there is a typo on the survey which shows the east wall of the house at eighteen feet, but it should be listed at twenty-eight feet. Schiferl asked staff if the retaining wall is an issue for this application. Gundlach replied from staff's perspective the retaining wall is a civil issue that needs to be addressed civilly. O'Keefe asked if it is considered nonconformity. Gundlach replied the non-conformity speaks to the use of land or a setback, and since the retaining wall is not on the property it was not considered a non-conforming use. Additionally, retaining walls are not required to meet a setback. Doug Bankston, 1875 Skyhigh Drive, stated that he is concerned that employees or salesmen will be corning and going from the property, Lloyd replied that nothing would change, except for the location of the office. Mrs, Bankston stated that there are cars and trucks parked on the street all the time. Lloyd replied that he has three teenage sons who have friends that park on the street when they come to use the pool and it has nothing to do with his business. Mrs. Bankston replied that this is a residential neighborhood and the office shouldn't be allowed. Baker replied that any parking for a home office must be kept on site and the business can have only one outside employee.
