AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: mcc Reviewed By: J. Barnhart Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. This application is regarding approval of variances for two separate nonconforming <br />accessory buildings in order to reconstruct them with minor expansions/changes. <br /> <br />2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on March 17, and considered to be <br />complete on March 30th. Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on May 29, 2021. <br /> <br />3. Background/ Summary. Regarding the boathouse, the applicant has requested side yard, lake, and <br />average lakeshore setback variances in order to expand the envelope of an existing accessory building as <br />part of an in-kind replacement in order to meet floodplain regulations. This results in the corners of the <br />new flat roof expanding outwards from the sloped portions of the existing roof with the building in a new <br />location ±9 feet further from the lake and ±2 feet further from the side lot line. In the drawings below and <br />in exhibit B, the existing condition outline is purple, and the proposed is in blue. <br /> <br /> <br />Carriage House Boathouse <br /> <br />Regarding the carriage house, the applicant is proposing to raise the roof inside the first floor to allow for <br />more current garage ceiling dimensions. To accomplish this the applicant is proposing a minor roof and <br />side wall change, resulting in a new envelope expansion slightly above the existing roof on the street side, <br />and beyond the pitch of the roof on the lake side requiring rear and side yard variances. <br /> <br />4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On April 19, the Planning Commission held a public <br />hearing. Following the public hearing the Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 (Libby) in favor of a motion <br />to approve the requested variances subject to the following conditions: <br />a. The boathouse shall not have hardcover landings. <br />b. The property owner shall sign the standard plumbing covenant regarding the plumbing within the <br />boathouse. <br /> The dissenting Commissioner did not provide their reasoning for their vote. <br /> <br />5. Public Comment. No comments from the neighbors were received. <br /> <br />6. Staff Recommendation.
