Zoning File #950 August 13, 1985 Page 2 of 4 Review of Application: on or about the weekend of May llth-12th, the applicant constructed a orivacv fence within the lakeshore portion of his property divided by County Road 15/Shoreline Drive. The fence is 100% opaque 5'+ height within 30 to 40 feet of the lakeshore and along the edge of the Lver^r travelled road. The placement of the fence so close to the travelled road of County Road 15 was ru^aareement enclosed for your review (see Exhibit G). The fence run pLallel to the shoreline and appears to have been constructed aate or ooening. Iha City maintains a lake access located to the east of Applicant’s lakeshore parcel and to the west of the parcel exists another residential used property. Review Exhibit F. The public accesss is 25 feet wide and serves as a winter access to Smiths Bay. Review Exhibit I, the City resolution that placed limits on th^use of thi. access. Staff has taken photographs of the entire area for your review at our meeting. shoJI lot that is divided by a major thoroughfare would be allowed a 6 foot high fence along the street lot lines (lakeshore or homestead portron of property). staff contends this section only applies to lakeshore lots that have rear yards that abutt a major thoroughfare. I have enclosed a copy of the letter sent to the applicant advising of the City's matter. The applicant’s lot, as with many lots in our City that are divided by public roads or easements, are subject to the standards that oroteot the^viewing tights of lakeshore lot owners (75 feet setback and Lerage lakeshore setback standards). In this shore yard is intersected by a road, the rear yard does not thoroughfare but a residential lot line. The neighboring lots are also lakeshore lots divided by a public road and subject to the same standards ihat protect each owner's viewing rights of the lake. In the case of the Hehl application, her lake view rights were not protected unoer the existi^^g and now amended ordinances because her property _ !bitt or%un to the lakeshore -"'“/he was on the non-riparian side o^ the major thoroughfare.
