AFTER-THE-FACT CONDITIONAL USE <br />PERMITAfARIANCE <br />Due to the absence of the Applicant, this item was heard after item #4. <br />CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARINGS <br />(M) #2647 KIMBERLI ;.ND WILLIAM ABBOTT. 470 BIG ISLAND. AFTER-THE-FACT <br />VARIANCES. 6:35 p.m. - 7:16 p.m. <br />Kimberli and William Abbott, Applicants, were present. <br />Weinberger stated the Applicants are requesting after-the-fact variances to allow the continued <br />existence of a lakeshore retaining wall and stairway system that was constructed without the <br />proper permits sometime between 1987 and 1990. <br />A primary issue for the Planning Commission to consider is hew much of the extensive <br />decking associated with the waits and stairway should be allowed to remain in place. Weinberger <br />noted the construction in question is located within the 0-75* lakeshore setback zone where <br />normally no structure or hardcover is allowed. <br />Weinberger stated the Applicants are hoping to purchase the property located on Big Island <br />from Sam McCloud and to bring the property into compliance with the City's Codes. As a result <br />of a superstorm in 1987, the lakeshore in this area experienced severe erosion damage. Sometime <br />between 1987 and 1990, McCloud constructed an addition to the house, including a large deck, <br />and also a massive retaining wall, stairway and deck system at the shoreline, all without the <br />required permits. <br />In February of 1991, McCloud made an after-the-fact application requesting that the site <br />improvements be approved as built. The Planning Commission had reviewed the request at <br />its March 13,1991 meeting, and tabled the application with a request that McCloud submit a <br />revised plan. <br />Page 1
