Gaf&on <br />Title: Planning Director <br />Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Descriptloii: #03-2909 Plekkenpol Builders/Tom McGlyim, 3980 Dahl Road <br />- After-the-Fact Variances <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Draft Planning Commission Minutes 6-23-03 <br />B - Resolution No. 1300 adopted July 27, 1981 (Similar case) <br />C - Memo and Exhibits of 6-12-03 <br />Appiication Summary: Applicant requests aftcr-the-fact variances for reconstruction of an <br />accessory structure (old boathouse) within the 0-7S' lakeshore setback zone where no such <br />structures are normally allowed. A permit was issued for non-structural maintenance ..nd <br />modifications to the building; work proceeded beyond the scope of the permit, iticiuding <br />moving the building off its foundation and reconstructing the foundation. <br />issues for Discussion: <br />1. Was the building, including its foundation, altered in ways that increase its non­ <br />conformity per 10.55 Subd. 26(A)? <br />2. Do the changes to the foundation constitute structural alterations that exceed 50% of the <br />building ’s value at the time it became non-conforming (1975) per 10.55 Subd. 26(B)? <br />3. Does removal of the building to a location 50* away and rcmoval/reconstruction of its <br />foundation, constitute it being ‘destroyed’ as that term is used in Section 10.55 Subd. 26(E)? <br />4. Based on the conclusions to the above questions, if a variance is necessary to allow the <br />structure to be placed at its former location, do adequate hardships exist that support the <br />variance request? <br />Synopsis <br />The old boathouse in question has existed on the property for many years (a structure, pertiaps not <br />this boathouse, appears in the City’s 1955 airphotos at this exact location) and was shown on the <br />survey when the current home was built in 1987. Applicants purchased the property in 1993. <br />Applicants in 2002 determined to restore/remodel the boathouse and their builder applied for a <br />permit to do so in March 2003. City staff reviewed the plans and determined that the extensive work <br />proposed was in some respects cosmetic or merely maintenance (which City code does not prohibit).
