••4 • TO:Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commission Members • Ron Moorse, City Administrator . FROM:Kris Jenson, Assistant Zoning Administrator/Planner DATE: July?, 1999 . SUBJECT; #2504 - Warren & Tana Garrett, 650 Brown Road North Variance Request Zoning District: LR-IA Application:The applicant proposes to in«rtall a 3 rail, split-rail fence, 5' in height, along the south property line to the lakeshore as well as a home addition, a deck addition and an inground swimming pool with decking around the pool, all located between the house and the lake. STAFF SUMMARY Firstj the applicants are planning an addition to the Northeast comer of the home. The. addition is 12* x 20* and will line with the existing North wall of the home and the existing East side of the deck. Second, the aj^licants are proposing a deck addition and inground swimming pool. The total surface area of the additions, along with the eristing hardcover in the 250-500' will not exceed 30%. The proposed deck addition will be added to the souUieast comer of die' existing deck, widi die inground pool located approximately 30' east of the existing deck. The variance reqiured for diwe items is the average lakeshore setback. Since the applicant’s home is located closer to the lake than either of its neighbors, the average lakeshore setback is their existing home, or approximately 385'. Along the north and south property lines are mature stands of trees that buffer the view to either property owners to the north and south. Staff feels that the proposed location is the most lo^cal, and it >^^1 not block or interfere with the view of either nei^bor towards the lake. Finally, the applicants are proposing a 3-rail, split rail fence, no more than 5' in height, to run along the south proper line, from the driveway to the lakeshore, approximately 790 ’ in length. The applicants want a fence due to the fact that the neighboring lakeshore owner to the soudi is a Long Lake City Park, and the applicant's have had people trespass on their property and dock. The applicant's feel Aat the proposed fence will be high enough to deter trespassers, but will not block the view of the townhome owners. The President of the West Shore Townhome Association has written a letter to the City protesting any fence being erected on the applicants property. A copy of the letter is included in the exhibits.
