AGENDA ITEM Item No.: Date: August 14, 2017 Item Description: #17-3950, NOR -SON o/b/o Michael & Meredith Kuhlman, 1760 Shoreline Drive, Variances — Resolution Presenter: Melanie Curtis Agenda Consent Agenda Planner Section: Purpose. This application is regarding variances in order to construct a residence on the property. 2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on June 2, 2017; and was considered as complete on July 5'. Therefore the 60 -Day review period expires on September 3`d Background. This property is the former location of the Winton Guest House (a.k.a. the Frank Gehry guest house). The guest house was removed from the property in 2008 and has been vacant since that time. The property owners wish to construct a new residence and in -ground pool on the property. Due to the extreme (1066 feet) setback of the home on 1700 Shoreline Drive, which is the only adjacent lakeshore lot, an average lakeshore setback is required. Additionally because the standards in Section 78-72 regarding Lots of Record cannot be met, a lot width variance is required. 4. Planning Commission Comment. On July 17' the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the application. Following the public hearing the Commission voted 7 to 0 on a motion to approve the variances as requested. 5. Public Comment. The only public comment during the meeting was regarding the proposed septic system rather than proposing to connect to City sewer. This discussion is detailed in the attached draft minutes. City Ordinances do not require connection to sewer, and the nexus between the variances requested and the need to connect may be hard to establish. No other comments from the public were received regarding this application. 6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval. The applicant is currently exploring the feasibility regarding sewer versus septic. The property is within the MUSA. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to adopt or amend the approval resolution.
