Staff did walk through the neighborhood and noted there are several other sheds on properties by the <br />lakeshore. Checking City flies, there not any permits found for the other sheds. <br />Planning Commission has been consistent in the past requiring sheds to be removed to a conforming <br />location or turned into a lock bo.x when the residence was being tom down and rebuilt. In this case, <br />the residence is NOT bwing tom down and the property owner currently does not have plans to. <br />Statement of Hardship <br />The applicants have included their statement of hardship in Exhibit B. The applicants should also <br />be asked for their testimony regarding this issue. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. There is not a permit on file for the shed by the lake, however it appears the old shed had <br />been there for many years. Mature trees and other landscaping surround the location of the <br />shed. <br />2. The shed does not obscure adjacent neighbors views of the lake. Moving it further from the <br />lake to a conforming location will change current sight lines. <br />3. Other issues raised by the Planning Commission. <br />Options for Action; <br />1. Recommend approv al of variances for the shed to remain within 75’ of lakeshore. <br />2. Recommend denial of variances. <br />3. Table for further review or further specific information, advising the applicant what other possible <br />revisions will make the application acceptable. <br />4. Other. <br />Staff Recommendation; <br />Planning Commission should detemiine whether these are sufficient hardships shown to allow <br />anything more than a 20 s.f. shed/lock box to remain. <br />#02-2766 William Keefe <br />2216 Shadywood Road <br />Page 2
