They’ve been <br />working on other improvements on the property as well. The applicant is requesting an average <br />lakeshore setback variance in order to reconstruct the cabin building into an open air structure <br />which is situated in the same footprint and location. The roof is being constructed to match the <br />other buildings on the property with a flat roof where the existing cabin is pitched and two of <br />the walls will be open. As with the sauna rebuild near the lake, the flat roof change reduces the <br />volume of the building. The expansion is into the grade, which does not impact the average <br />lakeshore setback impact to neighbors and the encroachment is minimal. While minimal, it is <br />considered an expansion of a nonconforming building and requires a variance. <br /> <br />Existing Cabin: <br />Application Summary: The applicant is requesting an average lakeshore setback variance in <br />order to expand the envelope of a building (lower into the grade) as part of an in-kind <br />replacement. <br />Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval.
