The application was received and considered to be complete on April 20th. The 60- Day review period has been extended and now expires on August 18, 2021. 3. Background/ Summary. The applicant is requesting rear setback and 75-foot lake setback variances in order to expand the existing deck by 227 square feet (including staircase). The property owner has indicated a willingness to remove an 80 square foot deck/patio within the 75-foot setback to facilitate approval of the requested variances and offset 75-foot hardcover. 4. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On May 17th, the Planning Commission held a public hearing. Following the public hearing the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to deny the variances. 5. Public Comment. No comments from the neighbors were received. 6. Staff Recommendation. Planning Staff recommends denial of the requested variances to enlarge the deck within the lake setback as the property has reasonable use with the existing improvements. The requested lake setback variance is not supported by practical difficulty. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Direct staff to draft a resolution of approval or denial. Exhibits Exhibit A.
