The purpose for this action item is to hold a public hearing on the variances for side yard, <br />lake, and average lakeshore setback to follow direction provided by the Council and to adopt a resolution. <br /> <br />2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received on March 17, and considered to be <br />complete on March 30th. Due to the tabling on May 10th the 60-day deadline has been extended until July <br />28, 2021. <br /> <br />3. Background/ Summary. At meetings on May 10th and 24th the Council discussed the applicant’s <br />request for variances for two separate accessory buildings. The Council supported the setback variances <br />relating to the reconstruction of the carriage house, however did not support relocating the boat house. <br />Placing the boathouse in the same location requires a variance in order to comply with the Floodplain <br />Regulations. City Code requires the establishment of an elevation ‘bench’ 15 feet around the perimeter of <br />the elevated structure, that 15 feet is not able to be provided due to the proximity of the structure to the <br />property line and the lake. <br /> <br />At the May 24th meeting, with a unanimous 4 to 0 vote, the Council waived the Planning Commission’s <br />review of the additional variances relating to the use of fill to elevate the boathouse out of the floodplain <br />based on Council direction. <br /> <br />Staff has prepared additional practical difficulty findings based on the Council’s direction which have <br />been included in the draft resolution attached as Exhibit A. <br /> <br />4. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval of the additional variances relating to the <br />floodplain. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />The Council should hold the public hearing for the variance relating to the fill surrounding the boathouse. <br />Following the public hearing the Council should consider a motion to adopt the draft resolution. <br /> <br />Exhibits <br />Exhibit A.
