(#9) #2248 - DAVID AND JODI RAHN, 1385 REST POINT ROAD - VARIANCE - PUBLIC HEARING 8:40-9:02 F.M. The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Moling were noted. The Applicant was present. Van Zomere.n *-eported that the application is a proposal for construction of an addition to an existing cabb to square off the residence and restore an existing deck and screen porch. The .3 acre property is located b the one acre zonbg district. The structure is located b the 0-75' setback. A hardcover variance is required to berease the hardcover firom 9% to 19%. Lot area and lakeshore setback variances are required A conditioi^ use pernut for land alteration is required for any alteration or excavation b the flood plab and 0-75* setback from the shorelbe. Van Zameren reviewed the topography of the property notbg that the shorelbe contour is at the 924.9' elevation. The 930- contour foUows the lakeshore; the 932' contour traverses the property, so the middle portion of the lot is considered to be b the flood plab. The concern is where the 931.5 elevation is located. The appUcant said he has Uved on Wildhurst Trail since 1975. He noted that the five other homes west of this property is evenly setback as proposed for this residence. There were no pubUc comments. Stoddard bquired what the Watershed District’s comments were. Rahn said the Watershed did not require any mitigation for the entry, deck, and screen porch as there are on post footings. Stoddard suggested relocating the structure to lessen the variances required. Rahn said his history as a contractor and buildbg official relates to his desire to restore the cabb with the addition to square h off and has not conadered relocation, more flood plab mitigation would be required, and its present location is the high spot on the property. He would like to mabtab the character of the property. He noted that b order to move the structure befabd the 75’ setback would requhe use of a holdbg area b that setback. Stoddard noted that mitigation can occur elsewhere. 14
