Date Application Received: 01/18/17 Date Application Considered as Complete: 01/18/17 60 -Day Review Period Expires: 03/19/17 To: Chair Thiesse and Planning Commission Members Jessica Loftus, City Administrator From: Melanie Curtis, Planner YYIGG Date: 21 February 2017 Subject: #17-3904, Laurel Ulland Arch itectu re/Martha Meyers Head, 2090 Shoreline Dr, Conditional Use Permit: Guest House; Elevating a structure on Piers Variances: Average Lakeshore Setback; Lake Setback; and 75' hardcover Public Hearing Application Summary: The applicant is requesting the following: 1. A conditional use permit for the guest house use in order to reconstruct the existing guest house with a different footprint; 2. A conditional use permit to reconstruct the guest house on helical piers; 3. An average lakeshore setback variance for the guest house; and 4. A lake setback variance and hardcover variance to permit an entry stoop to be placed within the 75 -foot setback. I Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval, see page 7. 1 Background The home and guest cabin on the property were constructed in the mid 1920's. While a portion of the lot is below the 1% Flood Elevation, (formerly known as the 100 -year floodplain), the existing home has been elevated above the flood elevation. The existing cabin sits lower on the property and has not been elevated above the flood elevation. The cabin was damaged by the 2014 flood waters and the applicant would like to reconstruct and elevate the building. Because the construction and elevation will be done using helical piers rather than fill material a conditional use permit (CUP) is required. The construction of the guest cabin will require an average lakeshore setback variance as well as a lake setback variance for the northern stoop to be located approximately 67 feet from the OHWL; the cabin will meet the 75 -foot setback requirement. Additionally, a guest house CUP is required as a CUP has not been issued, and the guest house cabin is being reconstructed in a different, expanded footprint and is in a nonconforming location.
