AGENDA ITEM <br />Item No.: 10 <br />Date: March 13, 2017 <br />Item Description: #17-3904, Laurel Ulland Architecture/Martha Meyers Head, 2090 <br />Shoreline Drive, CUPS Variances— Resolution <br />Presenter: Melanie Curtis Agenda Planning Department <br />Planner Section: Report <br />Purpose. The applicant is requesting two CUPs and a variance to reconstruct a guest cabin. <br />2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received and considered to be complete <br />on January 18, 2017; therefore the 60 -day review period expires on March 19, 2017. <br />Background. The existing guest cabin on the property is within the floodplain and was damaged <br />by the 2014 flood waters. The applicant is proposing to reconstruct and elevate the building. <br />Because the construction and elevation will be done using helical piers rather than fill material a <br />conditional use permit (CUP) is required. The existing cabin was constructed prior to the guest <br />house CUP requirements. A guest house CUP will be required because the guest house cabin is <br />being reconstructed in a different, expanded footprint and is in a nonconforming location. <br />Additionally, the new guest cabin will require an average lakeshore setback variance; the cabin <br />will meet the 75 -foot setback requirement. The proposed plans are as provided to the Planning <br />Commission, annotated as PC Exhibits D and E, and in the resolution as Exhibits A and B. <br />4. Planning Commission Comment. On February 21, 2017, the Planning Commission held a public <br />hearing and reviewed the application. Following the public hearing the Commission voted 6 to 0 <br />on a motion to approve the CUPs and variance conditioned upon the applicant's withdrawal of their <br />initial request to permit the northern stoop to be located less than 75 feet from the OHWL. <br />5. Public Comment. No comments from the public were received regarding this application. <br />6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval of the average lakeshore setback variance <br />and CUPs relating to the new guest cabin. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to adopt or amend the approval resolution. <br />Exhibits <br />Exhibit A.
