r #915 Roland Amundson Page 2 June 13, 1985 2. The bank began to erode with the early spring rains after the trees and brush were removed. The applicant complied with all staff ’ s requests for specific erosion control steps. Photos were taken of the banks in early spring for your review. The banks have restored themselves with the natural ground allowed to return— photes taken June 13, 1985 will.confirm restoration. The applicant was asked to submit a landscape plan showing replacement of trees, planting of shrubs and safe access to lakeshore. Applicant was specifically asked to show how acces-. stairs would tie into the old boat house foundation and, if permitted, new deck. The landscape plan has been submitted for your review—see Exhibit D. 3. A non-conforming structure or boat house located 4-5 feet off the shore had been dismantled except for threo sides of the foundation walls. The remaining foundation provides much needed stability for the bank. The applicant was in the process of constructing a deck within the foundation walls. He was asked to stop all construction of the deck and it remains as it was on March 13th—photos were taken July 13, 1985 for confirmation. The applicant will replace the mature trees removed last spring. submit’^^roofT^^^h" advise if they still want the applicant tosubmit proof from his landscape contractor confirming that trees were diseased or dead. The plantings noted on the schedule ar^aK acceptable and will provide the necessary erosion control on the very maximum^rfi Steps and landing areas must be trimmed back to y^idth of 4 feet. Erosion control must be provided plants and trees are installed this season. There is no panic h^v^ require immediate planting because the banksnave restored themselves. The real issue now is the remaining boat house structure. To remove create major problems for this very steep bank, lo fill over the skeleton of the foundation is not feasible given the steep bank and the closeness of the structure to the water. The applicant wishes to improve the look of his lakeshore but most important to provide safe access down the steep hank. Staff suggests that as a compromise the City allow the 12' x 16' foundation to be used as a part of the structure that provides access to lake. It the deck platform remains, a 36 inch railing must be provided around all open sides. The 4 ' wide access stairs must be structurally tied into the platform/foundation. The visual impact from the lakeshore would be minimized with the reduced structure and the proposed plantings.
