The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Trent Rezabek was present. Weinberger stated the Applicant is requesting a variance renewal for a front yard setback variance for the property located at 3200 Bayside Road. The previous resolution was adopted in March of 1989 and expired on March 13, 1990. The property was subsequently sold and the addition never built. The Applicant is proposing to construct an 8' by 12'entryway on the south side of the existing residence. The existing residence is located entirely within the required front yard and street side setbacks, which requires a variance for any additions to the existing residence. This property is located within the LR-1A, One Family Lakeshore Residential District, which has a minimum of two acres. The property is comprised of approximately 1.1 acres. City Staff is recommending approval of this application, noting that special conditions applying to this structure are peculiar to this property. Weinberger stated that it is impossible to construct an addition without encroaching into the setback. Hawn inquired whether the addition would be constructed on a cement pad. Rezabek stated that an engineer will be out to look at the building pad to determine whether it is a floating pad. Rezabek remarked that he probably will remove the old pad and put in a new foundation. • Weinberger stated that the Building Code would require a new foundation with footings. There were no public comments.
