Mr. Kevin Kretsch and Mr. Rob Aldecocea with Revolution Design and <br />Build have submitted an application for an average lakeshore setback variance. The <br />applicants are currently building a new home located on the site and propose a new deck <br />for the home. The overall footprint of the new deck is less compared to the original deck. <br />The existing deck was encroaching into the average lakeshore setback roughly 17 feet <br />and the new proposed deck will encroach roughly 11'6" feet into the setback. The <br />previous deck was a two level deck that sat 7 feet and the second level was 5 tall both <br />with a 3 foot deck railing. The new proposed deck will be 9'6" tall with a 3 foot deck <br />railing. The new deck will be roughly 2 feet taller than the taller section of the previous <br />deck. This home received a variance in September 11, 2017 for retaining walls in the 75' <br />lake yard to stabilize the shoreline. <br />4. Planning Commission Comment. On January 16, 2018 the Planning Commission opened <br />a public hearing and reviewed the application. The Commission voted unanimously on a <br />motion to approve the request. <br />5.
