The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. Bottenberg stated the Applicant is proposing to construct a 12’ by 16’ addition onto the lakeshorc side of the e.xisting residence. The addition will be located 80’ from the lakeshorc. Mooney Lake is classified as a Recreational Development Lake and therefore a 100’ setback is required for the structure. The Recreational Development Lake for Mooney Lake was adopted by the City in 1992. The existing residence is located 83’ from the lakeshore. Bottenberg stated the Applicant is proposing to remodel a bathroom and turn the c.xisting closet into a vanity area. The new addition will be a closet. The residence was constructed in 1960, before current zoning standards were adopted. The residence is located on approximately 90 acres in the RR-IB zoning district where two acres is required. The property is served with a septic system and well and will not be impacted by the addition. This addition will not add to the total number of bedrooms in the residence; therefore a larger septic system is not required at this time. Bottenberg noted structural coverage is not an issue in this application, with no impact to the adjoining residences. The Applicant is requesting a variance to permit a lakeshore setback of 80’ where 100’ is required. City Staff recommends approval of the variance. Smith inquired where the adjoining residences are located in relation to this residence. Da>lon indicated on the overhead projection where the adjoining residences were located.
