The City Council reviewed the revised application including the findings and <br /> recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br /> by the applicants and their attorney, and the effect of the proposed variance on <br /> the health, safety and welfare of the community, at the regular Council meeting <br /> of July 8, 1996 and voted 3 to 1 to conceptually approve the requested <br /> hardcover variance subject to specific conditions, and directed City staff to <br /> prepare a resolution for adoption. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that: <br /> A. The property has been the subject of previous after-the-fact hardcover <br /> variances, the most recent of which was granted in 1991 to allow 5,080 <br /> s.f. of hardcover within the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone. <br /> B. The applicant in spring 1996 constructed a deck on the lake side of the <br /> • existing residence within the 75-250' lakeshore setback zone, such deck <br /> comprising 165 s.f. of additional hardcover. Applicant proposes the <br /> concurrent removal of 255 s.f. of existing driveway and 115 s.f. existing <br /> landscape area hardcover, resulting in a net hardcover decrease of 205 s.f. <br /> in the 75-250' zone. <br /> C. No variances other than hardcover are required for the deck. <br /> D. The applicant failed to obtain a building permit prior to construction of <br /> the deck and therefore is subject to after-the-fact investigation fees for <br /> this variance application and all necessary building permits. <br /> E. The applicants reconstructed the lakeshore bank stairway serving the <br /> � property at some time during the period 1991-1996 without obtaining the <br /> required building permit, and that structure does not conform to the City <br /> standards for such structures because it includes a platform 6' in width <br /> where only a 4' wide platform is normally allowed. The Council finds <br /> that this structure should be brought into conformity and the proper after- <br /> the-fact permit be obtained by the applicant. <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br /> � <br />
