LA18-00006 REVISION,LLC ON BEHALF OF CHRISTIAN HARKER, 1725 BOHNS <br /> POINT ROAD,VARIANCES,PUBLIC HEARING <br /> Kevin Schultz and John Bailey, Revision, LLC, were present. <br /> Curtis stated the owner purchased the property at 1725 Bohns Point Road in the fall of 2017 and has <br /> begun to make improvements. The applicants plan to rebuild the 150 square foot boathouse building <br /> located 16 feet from the OHW,which is entirely lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line. The in- <br /> kind reconstruction is permitted as it is a legal nonconforming structure. <br /> In addition,the property owners are proposing to increase the height of the structure by adding a roofed <br /> porch over the top which is considered an expansion of the structure within the substandard setbacks. The <br /> upper level expansion consists of posts and a roof. They plan to install retractable screens in the place of <br /> walls. <br /> A hardcover variance is requested due to the reorientation of the existing stairway to the lake as the <br /> existing hardcover within the 75-foot setback is nonconforming. The proposal results in a reduction of 40 <br /> square feet of hardcover. <br /> The Planning Commission reviewed this application and voted 4-3 on a motion to approve the requested <br /> variances. The dissenting commissioners questioned the validity of the stated practical difficulties <br /> Page 5 of 18 <br />
