AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: LLO Reviewed By: Approved By: <br />1.Purpose. The purpose of this request is to consider approval of a minor amendment to the approved <br />plan (deck) granted in Resolution No. 7179. <br />2.Background/ Summary. In June 2021, the Council granted variance approval for a new deck with a <br />spiral stair on the lake side of the home within the rear yard setback, 75 lakeyard setback and new <br />hardcover within the 75’ lakeyard setback. The property owners are in the process of constructing the <br />deck but have found challenges attaching the spiral stairs due to the headroom requirements of the MN <br />Building Code. The property owners would like the Council to consider an amendment to the approved <br />plans to move the location of the stairs to the corner to the deck which would alleviate the height conflict <br />and allow for a landing to access the stairs. The original project proposed a spiral stair case in the middle <br />of the deck. The owners would like to move the stairs to the corner of the deck and inset the required <br />landing within the deck footprint. This would create an additional 5 sq.ft of new hardcover within the rear <br />yard setback. The new hardcover would be located outside of the 75’ lakeyard setback. This will <br />increase the hardcover for the site from 3900sq.ft. (24.01%) to 3905sq.ft. (24.04%). <br />3.Staff Recommendation. The new stair location will be a new expansion in the rear setback but will <br />not encroach in the average lakeshore setback or the 75 foot lakeyard setback. Staff views this as a minor <br />amendment. Staff recommends approval of the revised plan. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to adopting Resolution 7306. Alternatively, Council may opt to refer the amended plan back to <br />the Planning Commission for their review. <br />Exhibits <br />Exhibit A. Draft Resolution <br />Exhibit B.
