ON BEHALF OF MATT AND KAREN PARKS, 825 <br /> FOREST ARMS LANE -VARIANCES - 8:20-8:45 P.M. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> • The Applicants were present. <br /> Van Zomeren explained the property is 1.26 acres and meets the lot size requirements for the LR-1B <br /> zoning district. The application has two parts. First,the applicants are requesting approval to allow <br /> a garage addition that was constructed in March 1998 to remain by granting variances for bluff <br /> setback and average lakeshore setback. The second part is to allow construction of a new 526 s.f. <br /> lakeside deck where a smaller deck was previously located. Because a miscommunication within <br /> the building department occurred,the builder was given premature approval to construct the garage. <br /> A 30' setback is required from the top of the bluff which limits where improvements can be made <br /> currently and in the future on this property. Staff recommends an after-the-fact variance be granted <br /> for bluff setback and average lakeshore setback for the garage addition. <br /> There were no comments from the public. <br /> Smith stated the Planning Commission was in consensus with an after-the-fact variance for the <br /> garage. <br /> Van Zomeren estimated that the new deck comes out 12' further than the old deck. Lindquist stated <br /> the new deck is approximately 28'x14'. In reviewing the site elevations, Van Zomeren stated the <br /> the old deck came out 2'from the farthest lakeside wall. She was unable to find any records showing <br /> the exact dimensions of the old deck. <br /> • 10 <br />
