He asked for the Council's <br />help in fighting against the installation of the boat launch in.. <br />this area. <br />Jabbour explained that the City is working hard with the DNR to <br />.prevent the boat launch, but added the City does not really have <br />the power to prevent the launch. He understood that the DNR was not <br />ready to continue with their plans for the launch. <br />Moorse suggested that perhaps the DNR has decided to discontinue <br />the rental of the property, but with no future plans for the <br />property. He said he would contact the DNR to find out the status <br />of their plans and report back to Mr. Ringer. <br />( #3) #1746 THOMAS & MARGARET LOWE, <br />2630 WEST LAFAYETTE ROAD - VARIANCE <br />Mr. Lowe was present. <br />Mabusth explained that the applicants propose a 21x26' addition in <br />the 0 -75' zone to their existing residence. She noted that in an <br />attempt to minimize the impact, the applicants propose the removal <br />of 740 s.f. of *non-structural hardcover in the 0 -75' area, and also <br />the relocation of a shed at 176 s.f. from the 0 -75' zone to the 75- <br />250'.zone. The Planning Commission was asked to consider reductions <br />in the 75 -250' area to help minimize the impact of the addition. <br />She referred to a previous application where the majority of the <br />home was located in the 0 -75' zone and approval was granted for an <br />addition in the 0 -75' zone. <br />Goetten stated that each application should be reviewed on its own <br />merits. <br />Mabusth advised that the applicant had asked to have this specific <br />request considered by Council. <br />Mabusth noted the existing residence does not lend itself, to <br />vertical expansion. <br />7 <br />
