AGENDA ITEM Item No.: Date: August 14, 2017 Item Description: #17-3951, Sven Gustafson o/b/o Forrest Burke, 1020 Tonkawa Road, Variance — Resolution Presenter: Melanie Curtis Agenda Consent Agenda Planner Section: Purpose. This application is regarding an average lakeshore setback variance to accommodate a lakeside pool. 2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on June 21, 2017; and was considered as complete on July 5t''. Therefore the 60 -Day review period expires on September 3' 3. Background. The owner received variance approvals earlier this year to construct a new home, porch, and elevated terrace partially within the average lakeshore setback, in the northeast corner of the house (File #17-3916). They now request an average lakeshore setback variance to install a swimming pool within a grade -level patio/terrace due east of the house, toward the lake. 4. Planning Commission Comment. On July 17t'', the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the application as presented. The plans the Planning Commission reviewed were consistent with the current request, a pool lakeward of the average lakeshore setback. A miscommunication about the plans during discussions with staff resulted in the planning commission report and discussion during the public hearing noting the (incorrect) fact that the pool would encroach no closer to the lake than the location of the previously -approved grade level terrace (File #17-3916). However, the applicant's current plans do show a further encroachment of the terrace toward the lake, approximately 20 feet closer to the lake than the plan approved in April. The pool is also shown within the patio expansion area and is also closer to the lake than improvements were originally contemplated. Following the public hearing the Commission voted 7 to 0 on a motion to approve the average lakeshore setback variance as discussed. 5. Public Comment. Due to the clarification of site plan information staff reached out to the adjacent property owners. The property owner to the north, Ray Hoffman, after reviewing the plans, called staff and stated that he does not have concerns or opposition to the current/revised plans. No additional public comment was received. 6. Staff Recommendation. Staff drafted a resolution based on the current revised plans showing the additional encroachment of the pool within the average lakeshore setback. Staff recommends approval. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to adopt or amend the approval resolution. Exhibits Exhibit A. Draft Resolution Exhibit B. Previously Approved Site Plan — File # 17-3916 Exhibit C.
