Attached is a copy of a denial resolution to be adopted by the Council. Application: The applicant had applied for after-the-fact variances to permit a deck located on the lakeside of the residence 40' from the lakeshore. The deck was constructed in 1996 following an addition to the house. The applicant has stated in his hardship statement he did not apply for a building permit because he knew he could not meet allowed hardcover. In 1995 the City Council granted variances for hardcover and lakeshore setback to allow a garage and living space addition to the residence. Variances granted were to allow the garage to be located 52’ from the lakeshore, and to allow hardcover of 1,860 s f. (22.2%) in the 0-75’ lakeshore setback. The applicant had an original proposal to construct a deck in the location of the deck built without a permit in 1996. The DNR recommended the deck not be located as proposed due to the 50’ setback requirement on lakeshore properties. The deck was later removed from the plans. The Code would allow the property owner to construct a 4’ by 4’ landing with stairway on the lakeside of the property in place of the non-conforming deck.
