Sansevere <br /> conunented the installation of a toilet would increase the use of the structure. <br /> Muiphy noted this structure has been called a nuulber of differeut things, and inquired exactly what the <br /> structure is. <br /> Brooks stated the structure is basically a storage area where they store life jackets aud otl�er items related <br /> to their boat. <br /> Mui�hy conunented he personally would prefer to maintain some of the older boathouses around the lake. <br /> Mui-�hy inquired what the anticipated use of the combined deck and structure would be. <br /> Brooks stated tlley envision using the deck to grill out on and that there would probably be some food <br /> located in the refi-igerator. Brooks conunented tlus area would be a nice place to gather and that tlle <br /> improvements would help make it more useable. <br /> Muiphy inquired whether the drawing depictiilg the structure is what would actually be constructed. <br /> Albertsson indicated that is tlie plan they intend to use. Albertsson noted there would not be a stove <br /> located in the structure but merely a sink and a refrigerator and tl�at in her view this stnicture should be <br /> classified as a boathouse. Albertsson stated they would like to make tlle stnicture more attractive and <br /> make it a structure that adds to tlie character of the lakeshore more than it cun-ently does. <br /> Albertsson noted that the maj oiity of the improvements are cunently permitted and that the installation of <br /> the toilet would more the struchu•e more viable. <br /> White stated the Council does not want to see the structure tui7i into living space over time. White stated <br /> in light of the amount of taxes that are probably bein�paid for this lot, tliat the structure would help to <br /> make the property more useable. White noted he did attend tl�e Plamling Conunission meeting where this <br /> application was discussed and that he is leaning towards supporting the request. <br /> Sansevere stated in his experience visitors on the lake are impressed with the boathouses, which do add to <br /> the character of tlie lakeshore. <br /> PAGE 15 of 31 <br />
