Zoning Administrator <br />Mabusth noted the certificate of mailing and the affidavit of <br />publication. Harry & Thelma Pulver of 2691 Caroline Avenue, <br />Dorothy Kt-arns of 2961 Ethel Avenue, and Thomas Schmitz of <br />2696 Ethel Avenue were presant from the audience for this <br />application. <br />Zoning Administrator Mabusth explained that the applicant <br />wishes to construct a new residence 32 feet beyond the <br />average setback line. Mabusth stated that the applicant has <br />since amended his proposal to extend only 17 feet beyc.'J the <br />average setback line. Mabusth noted that the applicant has <br />asked that the present structure remain in use during <br />construction. <br />Richard Kauffmann presented a model of the proposed home to <br />the Planning Commission. Kauffmann explained that his <br />daughter and son-in-law presently live in the existing <br />house. Kauffmann noted that he has worked with the <br />neighbors and because of the neighbors comments he shifted <br />the location of the home and pulled back the home to only <br />extend 17 feet beyond the average setback line. Kauffmann <br />stated that he has no decks that would block the neighbors <br />view of the lakeshore. Kauffmann stated that he proposes a <br />screened-in porch with a walkout patio with spaced wood and <br />sand below that should not be considered hardcover. <br />Goetten asked what the highest point of the house would be. <br />Richard Kauffmann stated approximately 29'. Kauffmann <br />explained that he proposes a loft inside and needs the house <br />high enough to allow space for the loft. <br />Dorothy Kearns of 2961 expressed her concern for her view of <br />the lake. <br />Kelley felt that if approved no additional decks should be <br />allowed. <br />Zoning Administrator Mabusth advised Kauffmann that his <br />existing dock appears to cross over the lot line. Mabusth <br />noted that the boat attached to the dock encroaches onto <br />Pulvers property. <br />* I
