TO 9:10 P.M. <br />Mr. and Mrs. Hommeyer were present for this review. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were <br />duly noted. <br />Mabusth explained that this application pertained to an <br />after-the-fact variance for retaining walls and a deck located <br />within 75' of the lake. Mabusth said that the applicants are <br />also requesting an average lakeshore setback variance to <br />construct a 6' privacy fence. <br />Mr. Hommeyer referred tc Mabusth's memo of 1/11/90 and <br />clarified that be was the property owner that built the retaining <br />walls. <br />Kelley asked Mr. Hommeyer to respond to staff's statement <br />pertaining to his lack of a hardship for the after-the-fact phase <br />of the application. <br />Mr. Hommeyer said that the retaining walls were put in <br />because in 1980/81, the hill slid.

Ho said that the deck <br />that has been built to load and unload the tram extends beyond <br />the average lakeshore setback. Mr. Hommeyer said that 12' of the
